Oksana as Egyptian Princess

Oksana as Egyptian Princess

all art, models, photo’s, by Sandy Viktor Nys
All models cleared by contract.

This started from a “snapshot ” during hairdressing of Oksana. An average picture.

I started to create a soft skin, by making 3 copies of the layer and putting them in a subfolder. First layer gets a blur filter, second a noise filter and the third a dust & scratches filter, each layer I adjust the opacity until I like the skin structure.
Because now is everything soft, make a mask in the subfolder .Now you can paint in the details, of eyes, eyebrows, hair,lips and nose.
Take a soft small brush and follow like a painter the contours of eyes and lips at 100 %, for nose and jawbone put brush pressure on 50 %
Use a wocom pen to really paint fluently.
After this flatten, bring color in face, with color adjustments, more red and yellow. Fine tuning with curves. Lighten the white of the eyes with dodge tool, darkening eyelashes and lips with burn tool.
I rendered the Egyptian hair and headset in Poser on high resolution, already in a position and light environment that fits the face.I took her real hair from another picture (after hairdressing).
I cut out the renders and elements to compose, putting each element in a separated layer; I adjusted the hair color of Oksana to fit the headset. The headset was partly masked to connect to the hair. The background is a rough mix of several Egyptian scans.
