I wanted to create a good render of my frog hopping from stone to stone. I read about how some studios will create a rim light that only illuminates the subject matter and helps to give more of a hero look. I tried this here and was really impressed with the level of control that it gave me.
I also reviewed my renders in a desaturated form to inspect my vale and contrast of light nd color depth.
This has been a fun to create I hope you dig it,
