Mirror - Portrait Photography and Art Contest - WEEK #156

I did this render back in June of 2023. It was one of my first Gen 9 Renders. I was working with reflections with opposing light sources and colors. Plus refraction (in the glasses).

Added a mirror.

Added the semi-completed model, then I morphed the body, changed her position, facial expression, and added clothes. Then added 3 light sources (front, right and left sides)

Added hair, glasses and a ring.

Added texture and color.

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.
