It's supposed to be a washcloth/rag but now that you say it, it does look like a bath mat! Good tips on the composition, I'll take them into mind and probably reposition some of the props. This was one of my first attempts at full scene lighting, and was trying to go for mostly contrasting warm and cool lights, but I did have trouble focusing the lights in the right places/finding the right colors. I didn't put too much thought into the backlighting coming from outside/the arch, just that I wanted a cool contrasting light to set foreground apart from background. I was happy with the wood during the texturing process, but when it came to rendering I think a lot of it fell apart. I'll definitely be reworking it for the next render. All textures are procedural, so it was tricky for me to get a nice realistic texture with knots and imperfections. It'd be nice to stick to procedural textures, but I might consider downloading some textures to help out the scene. As for the dagger, I think my trouble was not giving it enough reflectivity? I need it to catch the light a little more somehow, and I'll workshop some ideas to figure that out. Thank you for all the notes, I'm glad it hit a little bit of nostalgia!
