WIP: Dual-light Resin Angel Sculpture (Warm internal COB + UV backlight glow). Looking for advice on the backlight setup and color contrast!

Wait 5 sec.

​Hey ALL:) ​Working on a new resin project that I’m planning to finish soon (aiming to sell locally first). I wanted to get some feedback from the community on the overall look and lighting setup. ​Current Setup & Material: ​Material: Printed in white water-washable resin (which reacts under UV). ​Finish: Right now it’s glossy (clear coated for tests), but the final version will be fully matte. ​Front Lighting: Diffused warm LED inside the body – head, hands, and dress light up evenly from within. Warm white is definitely staying as it contrasts nicely with the rest. ​Backlight Setup: For this quick test, I just threw a strong 410nm UV flashlight behind it. In the final build, I’m drilling through the base from underneath to mount a dedicated spot light (or multiple LEDs) pointing straight up behind her back to illuminate the wings from below. ​Since the wings are thin and filigree, no LEDs are inside them – it’s all about the back-glow effect. ​Looking for feedback: ​1. What do you think about the warm white inside + UV/blue contrast on the wings? ​2. Would you stick with UV/cyan for the backlight, or experiment with other wavelength colors (like deep purple, turquoise, or neutral white)? ​3. Any other ideas to elevate this dual-light concept before I lock in the final base layout? ​Appreciate any thoughts or advice!   submitted by   /u/SaleZealousideal1820 [link]   [comments]
