    @williamatics The biggest issue I see is one of overly dark/dim. I talked about this broadly in yesterday’s stream because I’ve seen a handful of submissions with this problem. This is the value spectrum of your renders:

    You can see that 3/4’s of the graph is not utilized at all. Since all the data is on the left 1/4, that means they’re all close to black. So I boosted the levels so the whole spectrum is utilized:

    Now with the values adjusted properly, I kinda prefer the first one (left) because the rim light is stronger. However I also think the shadows are a touch too dark still. So here’s a 50/50 mix of the 2 value-adjusted versions, which is my recommendation:

    Still it’s a B from me on the character lighting. Did you do a light match?
