I will have to disagree with you on that, yes, lighting is important, I will agree. However, composition, readability, and the message of a GFX is very important as well. Without good composition, you have get an odd looking gfx, without good readability, you can’t even see it, without a good message, you don’t even know why you’re looking at it in the first place.
Anyways, I believe the GFX should try and fix the dithering/noise issue which I see near the chin and rainbow:
Though that is honestly minor, turning up samples should fix it. Make sure you’re also using cycles, gives much better shadows and depth. Try making bends like arms and legs more natural, bending at a perfect 90 degrees will never happen unless you somehow snap their bone-
anyways… make arm and leg bends more natural. The legs seem awfully stiff sticking out. I understand it may be due to the roblox way of sitting however, you should of course bend the rules to make it look better. Try adding some exaggeration in the pose to give it more readability.
Instead of just sitting and staring at the camera, holding an ice cream. Give it the pose of the character relaxing, deliciously and intensely looking at the ice cream. Exaggerate until its absolutley readable that anybody can just glance and say, “Oh, they really love that ice cream ”.
The lighting also seems off with the character having shine but little to no shadows, including the bench. Add pbr textures to the wood and cloth folds to the shirt and pants.
Sorry If I sound nitpicky, just trying to help out
Here are some examples I could give you:
As you can see, adding deep contrasting shadows, folds, or small lighting glows from the light make renders and GFX pop.
Exaggerated poses give it a nice feeling and asthetic, more natural. Basically, nothing is perfect, make the character imperfect. Imperfection is perfection .
Anyways, I still like your render/gfx quite good. The ice cream looks glowy and nice, the character shows their happiness of wanting to eat it, and it gives it a happy mood and feel. Lastly, I would recommend trying to make the message of it send across from just a picture. This is difficult but definitely feasible.
Good luck and keep gfxing (I don’t even know if gfxing is a thing )
