Started with Genesis 9 Female...

I changed the camera positions, and the facial expression on her face.

I added eyes

Then I added hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and a knitted dress.

This is the pre-render image, which is necessary to add makeup.

Added lipstick and eyeliner.

Final rendered image.

Secondary Render, Post Photoshop…I decreased the exposure, and enhanced her skin detail.

Tools and assets used:

Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Genesis 9 Female Template
FE Teddy Hair
MK Ruffled Knit Dress
HDRI and Daz Lighting
Infinity CoveEnvironment
Background

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.
