Started with a Genesis 8 Female Template.

Added hair and a lantern.

Add a lantern light in Photoshop.

Tools and assets used:

Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Genesis 8 Female Template
Blithe Hair
SD Clothes
HDRI and Point Lighting
Over the Hill Environment

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 times can take 10 minutes to 2 hours per render.
• Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere and lighting, etc…)

Stay frosty people.
