I'll look into this when I get the chance but I don't think there is anything I can do about it. I want something that is visually accurate and I haven't yet learned to provide other light sources than the sun (such as candles or lanterns). No matter how I moved the sun there were always heavy shadows (I may lighten the shadows or use ambient lighting as soon as I learn what that really means.) On the other hand, this is the first scene of this sort that I have done (urban medieval) and it pointed out to me (and hopefully other viewers) just how dark the dark ages were.
