Using Daz3d Studio and Photoshop

Started with a Genesis 9 Female Template.

Added the completed model, after I morphed the body, changed her position, facial expression, and added clothes.

Added texture and color, and then added makeup.

Added hair.

Added a bow and arrow.

Added dirt, scrapes and scars.

Added a rock formation.

Added a tree and natural debris in the background.

Added a forest background...then rendered.

Photoshop: Added a bit more detail to the scene, and increased the environmental exposure.

In Summary:

• I start out with a model template and morph the body physically.
• I put the body into a position, change facial expressions, add makeup, dress the model, add skin texture, props, etc…
• I either can embed the character into the background or wrap the environment around the character, then add lighting and camera settings, like depth of field.
• Rendering time was 21 hours and 30 minutes.
• Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere and lighting, etc…)

Stay frosty people.
