Temple of Dyrge -

[jfrazierjr]

YEAH!!! more temples...

I want to make the inside of it shadowy and dark, but and having a bit of a rough time getting a handle on it, any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

As always comments, suggestions, etc. are welcome.

I think your going to have a problem with that given the shadowy skull textures in the floor. One possibility is to select the white areas of the "skulls" and work on giving them a "backglow" from below(ie, lighten up the "light" areas). This will help them stand out from the darkness you plan on putting down.

Also.. it would not be a bad idea to have have a black layer and add a layermask to it with a default 50% grey color. Now... whereever you draw "Black" will lighten the image... and where ever you draw white will darken the image... kind of reverse I know.. but you will get used to it.... using black for your top layer will make everything black... but then the layer mask will allow you to selectivly show some of the color through.... of course... this is just a sneaky attempt to get you to learn layer masks....
