To tell you the truth, I had too much fun creating this. I just started adding things that didn’t seem to fit together. Combining the pool with snow. Pink ponytail hair, but with ‘tats’ all over her body. She has elements of sexiness, innocence, immodesty, indifference to what others think of her, etc… Plus, I made her skin look cold…fitting with the reality that snow is falling on her…in an indoor pool.

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.
