Double the trouble, double the gain

I know they seem effortless but I really put out hours on each of these pieces. There's a lot behind of these than it meets the eye. CnC.

First is sexy like really sexy second actually is pretty good too actually the background on it is super cool with the lighting and how its behind the render i like the darkness of the pieces
The lighting on the second one is good except for the top of her head that shit needs to be dark also pretty much all of the lighting on her body is wrong I don't think it looks bad though on the contrary it looks good but it's just wrong and doesn't make sense still looks good though

Second one looks unfinished.

Thought you wouldn't notice. CBF to mess with the render, everytime I burn/dodge it, it becomes pixelated and loses quality.

I always notice.

Don't burn/dodge the render itself. Use masks and create your shadows and highlights that way. But keep them subtle.
If you're looking for extreme contrast, leave that to adjustment layers towards the end.

Never heard about this "mask" feature for shadows...

Basically just a new layer on top. When you're working on the actual render, there's already pixels present that are being changed. With a new layer, it's completely blank and fresh. The render doesn't lost quality nearly as fast.

second one has some slight lighting issues and is unbalanced overall.
