Hello everyone. I made a small studio in my game room on top of my pool table.

Here is the "studio"

Here is the result (I lowered the light to object level for the actual shot):

The dark background distracts from the statue.

holy cow, there is a lot going on in that room :)

as for the photo....if you had another strobe on the right or even a reflector to fill in some of the shadows it would have made the shot a little better.

you're on the right track.

Thanks for the comments!

I wanted to give it the indian by the fire feel, but didn't like the way it turned out when I hadded a yellowish orangeish feel to it. I boosted the blacks because the background was wrinkly, so I wanted to get rid of that. I have used a white posterboard on some shots to get that other side filled, but did not on this one because of the feel I was going for. But I can see how boosting the blacks may not have helped it.

Here are a few others I've done in there:
