Description
Hi thanks for looking!
I've been trying to spend some time working with more confined color palattes.. this is an experiment in using mostly reds, with the green of the eyes serving to accent the portrait. This is also a jump back to DAZ's Vickie 3, who's been feeling a bit neglected since the release of V4. I think the old girl has some life left in her yet.
DAZ|Studio render - minimal postwork in Photoshop.
Lighting is once again based on Dreamlight's free studio lightset, with the new UberSpotlights substituted in for the regular spotlights and some messing around with the falloff and shadow levels. All of the spots are a very light pink. There are a couple of red spotlights focused on the backdrop, one is an uberspot with a caustic pattern for a gel.
Skin uses pwSurface and the method outlined in the my skin tutorial, part one of which is now available from the Dreamlight Exclusive Members club. The eyes and lips use techniques which will be outlined in an upcoming Dreamlight Members club tutorial. Hair uses Pendragon's hair shader.
Production credits: DAZ's Victoria 3. Eye textures are "Dazzling Gaze" available from DAZ. Skin textures are from "Mask's V3NaturalSkin #5" and Hair is Quarker's "Grace Lion Hair" both available at the Renderosity Marketplace.
Thanks from comments on earlier posts - your input is always appreciated. Big thanks to everyone at DAZ Artist Guild for the support, encouragement and community.

She is pretty :) Strangly, I'm getting the impression of "cold" lights and her teeth seem to be a bit off for me (something with shadows and highlight) but I can't pinpoint it more. Thanks for the picture :)

Excellent portrait!

Very good work and a portrait! Playing with the lights is addictive though! ^_^ Just for information, how long took the render?

Awesome portrait! I would decrease the lip bump map intensity though, but I'm just being picky.
