Started with a Genesis 8 Female Templates.

Added the completed model, after I morphed the body, changed her position, facial expression, and added underwear, hair, hair accessories, armband and necklace.

Added a blouse, dress and boots.

Added ax and shield.

First render in Daz Studio

Added sunlight and shine in Photoshop

Tools and assets used:

Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Genesis 8 Female Template
DS Hair
Viking Clothes
Briton Shield and DoubleAxe
HDRI Lighting and Desert 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.
