I was attempting to convey sadness and sexiness in this render. Her makeup running down her cheek after she's been crying, while wearing revealing attire. It didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted it. I should have added a background to give it depth. Maybe the eyes could have had a little bit more light exposure. But overall, I'm happy with it.

Started with a Genesis 9 Female Template.
Added the completed model, after I morphed the body, changed her position, facial expression, and added clothes.
Added texture and color to the model.
Put the model in IRAY preview so you can see the future modifications.
Added a necklace.
Added makeup.
First Render - Added a dark background, front light-blue light, and yellow/orange rim light.
Second render - Removed the rim light, and kept the blue light.
Third render - made the first render into a black and white image.
Tools and assets used:
Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Genesis 8 Female Template
Blair Hair
Smart Style and XF Equisite Clothes
EA Double Ring Necklace
HDRI and Daz3D Lighting
Dark 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 can take 2 to 6 hours per render.
- Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere and lighting, etc…)
Stay frosty people.
