Unfortunatly I think only the last two fit the chiaroscuro theme, and even then the third is a bit borderline. There really needs to be more contrast between the areas of light and dark, ideally using lighting to bring that contrast out like you have done in 4 and 3. That being said, they are all lovely, I can just only put 3 and 4 into the voting.

Aww oh well, I couldn't make the caps I wanted to use fit. I looked at few art pages & it showed using shadows to add three-dimensions is called chiaroscuro but there's specific style of it called tenebrism which I didn't know about at all.
Now that I know about I think that's technically what this challenge was about? This page says the terms are usually confused.

Sorry now that I know about it, I can be a know-it-all. lol

Thanks!

I think you might be right about the terms being confused, looks like what I had intended for this challenge was tenebrism :/ I'm just used to the icon community calling the tenebrism effect chiaroscuro.

I'll make a mod post and say that any icon that looks like tenebrism or chiaroscuro (all of the icons submitted for this challenge really) will be accepted because of the confusion.

Thanks for pointing this out!

Yay that's great! ;)
I could be wrong about the terms, maybe in cinema & photography it is not used exactly the same way as in fine art.

Since there was time, I changed the second to add a little bit more shading, maybe it fits better. :)
