I did this render 2 weeks ago, and I lost my progression images that I usually screenshot. Sorry about that people.

Started with a Genesis 8 Female Template.
1st Render with Daz3D
Post Photoshop - Gave the render a bluish hue to match her mood.
Tools, assets and techniques used:
Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Genesis 8 Female Template
Debutante Hair
Flora Clothes
Daz3D Lighting
Black 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 10 minutes to 2 hours per render.
Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere, creating depth of field, etc…)
