About "Lone Monk:"
The scene was made specifically to test Blender 2.92 new Exposure node, so was is build around a strong contrast between lights and shadow. It has become part of the official Blender Cycles demo files. If you want to know more about artistic choices and technique used, we released a 50 min. commented time-lapse of the scene on our YT channel.
