Tools and assets used:

Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Genesis 9 Female Template
FE Teddy Hair
SU and CTO Clothes
Daz3d and HDRI Lighting Background
SCB Small Cozy Environment
Grassy 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 was about 3 hours.
• Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere and lighting, etc…)

Stay frosty people.
