“Portrait Render Contest take 2, Now light it up”

This month’s contest is about taking your finilized render from the May Portrait Render contest and experiment with different lighting techniques. For those who didn't take part in the May contest don't fret, you can make your portrait render this month and apply the lighting to it.

For a list of the current contest rules, please see this thread: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/3440/
For many tutorials and examples of Lighting see these threads "Beginning to see the Light" and “3D Lights & Magic” and "MOOD LIGHTING"

    Titled : Nature Hike

    Software used:
    DAZ 4.6: Creature from the depths,Zombie for genesis,Genesis Evolution: Head Morphs,
    Genesis Evolution: Body Morphs, Genesis Creature Creator Heads, Aging Morphs For Genesis, Genesis: Shape of a Figure,
    Woodland Realm Playset One, Multiplane Cyclorama, Woodland Realm Playset Two & a few other morphs I can't keep track of ;-)

    Tweaked in Photoshop as always.

    The skin textures were created by blending the Zombie with the Creature from the depths & lots of painting in Photoshop.
    The figure was sculpted over a 2 day period with the mentioned morphs and a lot of effort.
    The woodland realm playsets are fantastic for dropping your prized creations into.

    I was also experimenting with fixing dark areas by lighting with a spotlight w/o shadows and very focused.

    Still learning, please comment :-)

    Still learning. Thanks
