Subway Grom - Portrait Photography and Art Contest - WEEK #157

I drove by a skateboarder park near me the other day…so I decided to render a young skateboarder posing in a subway. Grom is an American and Australian slang for a young skateboarder (also, many other types of “boarding” sport).

Tools and assets used:

Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Genesis 9 Female Template
Finn Hair Genesis 9
Casualwear Clothes
Daz3D Lighting
U-Bahn Section02 Flipped 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 2 to 6 hours per render.
• Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere and lighting, etc…)

Stay frosty people.
