Reply To: Shading edges

Unfortunately if the item won’t shade where you want it, sometimes you have to ‘hide’ part of the lion behind an extra piece of background and add a new tail with shading masked to it. Sometimes you have to build a shaded tail from scratch. Various workarounds like this happen all the time.
Enjoy!

P.S. Having taken a closer look, you might stretch (increase the x value) of the shading.
