Here's my outcome. Not really happy with it but meh.

Can see some people already getting better. This thread is about as win as it can get.

Need to try to blend your render with the BG a little better

Here's some stocks to get some nice color and stars out of.
Used 2 of them I believe.

Nice!

Decent. Dislike the third one myself, but the top two I liked.

just something to throw out while you guys are working on week 1

while i have a few weeks worth of stuff in my head, what do YOU guys want to learn/get out of this?

my main goals are just to give you the tools to reach a minimum amount of skill and progress from there, and to bring the newer members closer together in addition any regulars willing

some stuff already planned: resources, inspiration, battles, critiquing and more techniques

I want to learn everything you have to offer

biggest issue im seeing in these=
WAAY to bright of lighting, I personaly like to use Bubble c4d's on Lighten for colorful clean light sources.
Second is the lack of a real focal.

I want to help with next weeks assignment if possible magi-poo.

excellent ill pm you about it tomorrow cutie
