Description
This pic is actually still rendering. However, once in LuxRender you can save a pic while rendering to see how it looks which is what I did after about an hour of rendering time. I did do post to minimize the noise still present, converted to grey scale (BW) and resampled which causes additional lose. Because of the aforementioned the quality I like is not there yet but I am posting anyway. Many of the texture details did not come in yet including portions of the lip and face texture. The texture is by far the best one I have for a female and I have at least 200 I have collected since the 1990’s or have done myself. This character texture is “Horizon” by Syyd Raven available at RDNA. I believe the morph was done by Colm (RDNA). The clothing and helmet is “Outlander” by Alfa Seed (RDNA). The background props were all done by Stonemason available at Daz. Model is Victoria 4.2 (DAZ). Everything in the pic is 3d textured models no background pictures.
Render still going on via LuxRender using Pret-a-3d plugin 2.5 for Daz Studio.
I have not forgotten about the excellent textures and props I have recently purchased at Renderosity and when my workload decreases will post pics with them.
I originally set the scene up in Poser Pro 2012 but while playing with Daz Studio 4.6 loaded the scene and decided to do a render using Reality 2.5 for Daz to LuxRender.
Thanks for all your prior comments. I love looking at all work here no matter what media or program(s) used. Post was done in Adobe Photo Shop CS5 and Corel Photo-Paint X5. I use both. I hope everyone has a great day!

To me, what really makes this particular image is less the technical aspects of it and more the character. You have managed in a simple portrait to impart a very strong sense of who the character might be. You did her expression so well that it tells me not only that she is a very strong and determined woman, but also other nuances of character. I see pride, I see an individual who has seen many terrible things and knows she will see many more, I see cynicism, I see someone who fights what is probably a losing battle because she refuses to give in to what is wrong, I see pain and loss and internal scars. I see a whole host of things as well. I think it's a brilliantly done portrait. Love it!

I like her look: a bit worn and older, not so polished.

Great expression! She has the look of someone fairly young in age, but made old by hard experiences both physical and mental. I like the grittiness and the black and white. Excellent work.

a very powerful image in black and white, the graininess and mood are really enhanced by the genre

I am constantly bowled over by the quality of the art here. This is amazing! I thought it was a photo, a mistake I make all the time. :-) But the woman does look like she survived a military battle. Great job, nice work with Reality!

I would like to make a great compliment to this piece of fine art. All the years I used DAZ and Poser I missed something inside all the characters. There were eyes, noses, ears, but never a concentration at the lips and mouth. Probably because there are so much muscles inside. In this work you made these muscles work and made a perfect mouth to a perfect picture. I can''t double points but I surely would.

What a unique look! Gives a gritty feel. :)

I really like how you've captured this weathered look that an older person would have --especially someone who'd had to deal with a lot of hardships. It's nice to see someone stray away from the beaten path when it comes to rendering. She's got the thousand yard stare and all the character that goes with it. Good work!

Great portrait. It looks kind of creepy. But I like it.
