Angel of Light - Splinterlands Art Contest - Week 295

CLICK IMAGE TO EXPAND

I wanted to give this scene a very cold and isolated feeling. An Angel of Light contemplating her own place in the world. Deep in thought about her power to resurrect the dead.

Reference Image - Angel of Light

Using Daz3d Studio and Photoshop

Started with a Genesis 9 Female Template.

Added the semi-completed model, after I morphed the body, changed her position, facial expression, and added clothes.

Added wings.

Added hair, eyebrows and eyelashes.

Added texture, light and color.

Added Background, dark blue environmental light, slight depth of field, then rendered.

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 10 hours.
• Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere and lighting, etc…)

Stay frosty people.
