Morning Paper - Beauty of woman's body CONTEST WEEK #194

This render is an entry to the Beauty of woman's body - CONTEST WEEK #194
Thank you to @axeman and World of Xpilar for hosting this contest.

I was thinking about something fun, sexy, classy and relaxed. A woman walks out of her front door to get the morning newspaper, in the early morning, before her neighbors are awake, so she doesn't mind walking outside before she is dressed, followed by her cat, who is interested in the food that is in her hand.

Started with a Genesis 8 Female Template.

Added an old town villa environment.

Added a painting, outside light, plants and a vase.

After I created the model from the template, I added her to the scene.

Then I added the cat.

Pre-Photoshop Render

Post Photoshop Render - I changed the exposure, added light shine to the clothes, skin and hair, and some other minor touch-ups in Photoshop. Final Render.

Tools, assets and techniques used:

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, creating depth of field, etc…)

Stay frosty people.
