I spent a good while messing around with the values and I think this is gonna be my prefered solution. Essentially I really wanted to keep the character silhouetted whilst still having plenty of value space to make the lightning feel as powerful as possible. To make the lightning feel like the main light source within a darker space I also went for a totally dark sky to remove the sense that the light in the background could be from the sun, it really changes the mood alot to have the super dark border closing in from above
I'm done
Will return with lore later
