Sola Ranjell fighting in the Moxian arena as a Gladiator. I took some liberties and made her a little bit more gritty and hardened…worthy of a warrior.
Reference Image - Sola Ranjell
Using Daz3d Studio and Photoshop
Started with a Genesis 9 Female Template.
Added an arena platform.
Added infrastructure around the platform.
Added the semi-completed model, after I morphed the body, changed her position, facial expression, and added clothes.
Added hair, eyebrows and eyelashes.
Added long boots, arm guards, and a two-bladed staff.
Added three demon monsters.
Added texture, light and color.
Added a burning light and fire ball.
Added war paint to her face.
Added blood to her skin.
Final render.

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 was about 17 hours.
- Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere and lighting, etc…)
Stay frosty people.
