After finishing the skeleton, whose body is half organic and half stylized, as it was described in the book as having a really detailed structure . I decided to experiment some lighting, this 2 experiments are quite similar, the only difference is where on the 1st one i decided to go for a stronger light, creating light beams pointing in difference directions, on the 2nd experiment the light is more natural, where I applied the principal of shading, for example under the skull. I found that it gave a more realistic look to the picture.

Morning Ruben - very subtle effect here - you demonstrate an admirable lightness of touch, but I wonder if, perhaps - just perhaps - you might need a touch of deeper, richer black for the most recessed shadows - eye-sockets, the back of the cave etc... just to make the image 'pop' a little more; I also wonder if you might think about introducing a colour cast to lift the monochrome a little more? Your image is 'black and white', but the world rarely is... food for thought?
Phil is up early....lol, If you are using maximum black try introducing either a hint of red or blue to it depending on the temperature scale you are using, the down light I imagine as being a warm dusty ochre so then I would use blue/black to shade.... if you go for a cool light then shade with a red/black.
thank you for the advices...
...I ll try to apply some colour, just like i did in the cathedral of stalactites, i want to give the awe feeling to the picture but at the same time being albe to demonstrate the main element of the room, the skeleton.
