jakemi, thank you very much!
That was a fun if rather tough one. Low light conditions can be so tricky...what do you show? What do you just darken out? Hard balance to find. Happy with it though!

I like this image despite it's sad theme. Remember the artist Fredrick Remington? He would set up his easel and paint at night just to get the quality of the light right on the canvas. So this image really conveys a sense of a scene set at twilight.
Now it looks like the Red Panda is sort of lucky as the arrow looks like it just barely missed his Subclavian artery, but there is evidence of great loss of blood.
(Great way to tell a story in one image.)

I hadn't heard of the specific name but certainly saw a few paintings of his. And yeah i had some moments too where i was just looking out of my window for the few minutes where that exact lighting exists each day and try to keep as many aspect of it memorized as possible.
Thank you very much!

Stunning work, the composition of the flags echoes the blood running out of his wounds and add a gentle, but insistent motion to the piece.
I find low-light quite tricky myself, the less you shade it the better the it turns out, since harder shadows detract from the overall feeling. (Which feels awfully counter-intuitive, for me at least.) You've done a marvelous job.
By the way, I just so happened to have "Reting's eyes" (Kundun soundtrack by Philip Glass) playing in the background and I found that it really heightened the experience of the piece for me. Just thought I'd share!

I imagine it was also difficult to color balance, don't want to suck all this saturation out of a piece but low light conditions do come at the cost of a lot of color saturation thanks to our rods. Had to find the right balance there which I think you accomplished perfectly.
Is the low viewing angle for immersion like placing the viewer in the piece as another fallen soldier? Or was it done for purely technical reasons?

Yeah, just balancing everything is hard for low light like that. Certainly involved a good couple of adjustment layers all around.
And bit of both. With these simple paintings i can't involve too many background details. So it's either a blurred background, or something like this. Where it's mostly flat sky. Always depends a bit on the painting itself what works best.
