Sandy Portrait - Portrait Photography and Art Contest - WEEK #159

Well, Spring is almost here, and people are already going to the beach here in the Gulf Coast United States, but not swimming in the ocean yet, a bit too cold for that :)

Started with a Genesis 9 Female...

Added the semi-completed model, after I morphed the body, changed her position, facial expression, added eyebrows/eyelashes, and added clothes.

Added hair.

Add a texture and color.

Converted it to Black and White…then rendered.

In Photoshop, I colored in the blue eyes and hair clip.

Tools and assets used:

Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Genesis 9 Female Template
Vertigo Hair
SU Clothes
Daz3d and HDRI Lighting Background
Beach 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 time was about an hour.
• Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere and lighting, etc…)

Stay frosty people.
