Trying Something New...

Recently, I've been looking for new ways to improve the overall look and feel of my games and exploring new ways to make content, both in renders, and game development, and to start off with, I've been practising some new render techniques to not only improve the overall quality and look of new renders but to also improve the amount of time it takes to render each scene. 

Above is my first *official* attempt at rendering using these new techniques, and I'd love to know what you all think.

I can't give an exact render time on the scene, as I've not tried it using old techniques, but it is far below my usual average render time.

This is also a teaser for a new character that I've been working on, and she is pretty much complete, however, I cannot reveal any more details on her just yet.

Let me know what you think ;)
