OLS Converted Vermin Lord

I'm clearly not the only one whose been following the great tutorials Ron FTW has been posting up on Object Light Sourcing:

Obviously I wanted a go! Now being me I didn't decide to do any practice, no small eyes or sensible details to get the hang.. I decided to go and put it on my Vermin lord with both the sword blade and the skulls as glowing sources. They are inversely highlighted with the light smudges mainly belnded in with slightly different effects for the different textures the light fell on. I imagined an oval sphere around the sword to decide what the light touched and I tried to keep its influence even. I'd love some feedback and any tips for improvement! Heres what I've come up with so far:
