Quora Towershead…"simple, mountain-dwelling clan from the upper Seed Mountains of Anumüna." I gave her a dirty look, cold mountain environment, waiting patiently for something.

Using Daz3d Studio and Photoshop

Started with a Genesis 9 Female Template.

Added the completed model, after I morphed the body, changed her position, and facial expression. Added clothes and hair as well.

Added color and texture.

Added a snowy mountain environment.

Added more of a snowy mountain environment, with trees.

Added more clothes and a sword.

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 time was 21 hours and 30 minutes.
• Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere and lighting, etc…)

Stay frosty people.
