This was before I learned of Marmoset Toolbag, but I think it does a prety good job with the lighting
I wanted to do a 1920 detective / noire scene and the first thing I did was this sign and I loved it so much, that I wanted to go into more detail.
This is the first project, where I got a fascination with rope and small details, as it adds so much to the scene, despite it being almost invisible.
