Started with a Genesis 8 Female Template.

Added a home environment.

Then added walkway lights, grass, bench, and rock.

Added completed model, after I morphed the body, changed her position, facial expression, and added a dress.

Added a kitty.

Add a texture and color.

1st Render in Daz studio in color.

In Photoshop, I made the render monochrome, which is the final post image.

Tools and assets used:

Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Genesis 8 Female Template
Hotba Hair
Ayden Dress Clothes
Sunrise Hangout Base Environment
Zeus the Cat
HDRI Lighting

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.
