I'm really loving this tut, and you know how much I was looking forward to it as well ♥! You also know how I suck at light sources, so this definitely helps me out a bit :D!

Just, fantastic ♥! Mind if I add it to my tutorial list at my LJ? (It's pretty much my mems, in graphical form :P)

...PHEW. wow. that's thorough, and more complicated than I was expecting.

I've found that I prefer your style of shading, with sharp, clear lines, instead of the style you tend to find more often, now, with soft, blurred shading, so this was a really great tutorial to stumble upon. ♥

trying it out, now. :]
