Meditation - Digital Art Competition 9

The model is in deep meditation…where only the space around her and a guiding light enters her mind.

Thank you to @xpilar for hosting this contest.

Started with a Genesis 9 Female...

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

Added hair and a necklace.

Added texture and color.

Added hannah art to her arms.

Added a forward light, then previewed it in IRAY so you can see the light changes.

Added a background light to create a rim effect on the model.

Added a light to her pendant.

Final render.

Added lens flare in photoshop.

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.
