Started with a Genesis 9 Female...

Added a space station environment with a Christmas tree.

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

Added hair.

Added Christmas stockings.

Added a cat and spaceship (outside the space station).

Added texture and color.

Final render.

Tools and assets used:

Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Genesis 9 Female Template
Mega Updo Hair
TA Clothes
HDRI and Daz3D Lighting
Spaceship Crew Environment
Planetary Background
Zeus the cat
Beehive Missle Corvette

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 2 to 6 hours per render.
• Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere and lighting, etc…)

Stay frosty people.
