Description
This is a request for , starring her OC Harumi Hyuuga [link]This was a bit of a challenge has I had trouble finding an outfit which would match the one Harumi wears in the picture linked above (and by the way, if anyone knows where I could find such an outfit, please let me know!!!) and I had some difficulty in reflecting Harumi's age due to the outfit I did use (which refused to adjust itself to a younger body). >.<
I hope you'll forgive me
and that you will like this version of your character!

That is so cool! How many polygons did you use to make the hair!? 0.o

I actually didn't make the hair, I only posed it, I didn't model it. [link] Hopefully one day I'll have more knowledge and make a full step into 3D Modelling!

Gorgeous work!
To be honest getting an outfit match using Poser/Daz Studio is a complete waste of time, nine times out of ten the outfit you want is from an existing character which means replication of it would potentially cause copyright issues. If you are that way inclined there are options. Firstly, you could learn to paint your clothing in software like photoshop or GIMP and just use your render as a basis for your paint, a canvas if you like. The other option is to model the outfit from scratch, rig it, texture it and colour the texture using MATs....
I'm with your option of getting the closest clothing you can and making a kick butt image with that!
As for your image and all its brilliance, it is really great work and I agree it's your best yet having poked around your gallery. The only little thing and it is little is the breath in front of her face, slightly obscuring her lovliness. I'd have layered that effect so nearer the face the breath is more transparent and then the cloud say off to one side was more opaque. A little pointer, not a criticism I promise
By the way you have a good eye for composition, very balanced image. Keep doing what you're doing!

Thank you very much about the many compliments! 
As for making the outfit from scratch or painting it... I wish I had that kind of talent!

This is your best work yet. She is absolutely stunning and very high quality. Not to mention you made her look alot like the picture. I really love this image. Composition, quality, style, pose, lighting, etc. The outfit in question would have to be created by pieces. You can tell I don't feel well today because I am having trouble thinking of exact products x.x I'm like expert on daz/poser content and can pick out something instantly. I have seen pieces like all those before but yeah, brain is refusing to work today so I can't think of them. But what I can think of... turned into like 50 links here and a lot of spam so I will note you.

Wow, great work again bro! Did you do this layered again, or all in one? The character lighting is really nice and has a great balance. The hair has rendered out nicly too and has alot of form, omething I can never get right with mine. If I was going to be a misserable bugger and make any crit, I would say maybe a tiny bit more blue in character lighting as bounce lighting from under her to tie in with the blue light that is being 'bounced' by the snow. I'm sure she will love it. I certinaly do!

Thank you, kind sir!
Layered once again. Render 1 was character and background (UE2 + 1 Distant Light and 1 Specular Distant Light), Render 2 was the snow (MoodMaster 2). I actually had to do 3 renders because I initially tried a little bit of fog with the snow, but it didn't look good. It didn't matter much though cause the snow renders were only about 1 hour each.
As for the hair, I didn't do anything to it other than turn the Raytrace off cut down the render time. 
And as always, thank you for your feedback. I'll keep that in mind for the next render!

Thanks for the product link, might be worth investing in. Whats it like render wise, slow, fast, average? Easy to define I know, but relative to other props youve used :S.
Have you tired adding with post work things like the snow, leaves from Mr Penguins pic, and the dust I think it was, from Run? Things like that shouldn't be to hard with a little practice and would save you rendering them in the scene. I'm not sure what the product does/is but am I right in thinking they are some sort of transparent plane effect? I could be totaly of the mark but none the less Transparency Maps and UE2 are not friends you see, which is why hair grinds things too a halt, so adding the effects as mentioned in post work should speed things up abit for you work flow wise.

Rendering the entire scene took me about 4 hours, I'd say... about half of that was spent on the hair. That being said, I'd consider this as a good rendering time given the results.
I haven't tried yet adding snow, leaves, etc in my post-work. MoodMaster2 works as you say, creating a render meant to be added as a layer. It would probably be faster to do this in post-work, but... well... I'm a lazy bastard.

Oh my god, that complete admission of being a lazy bastard actualy made me laugh! I wouldnt call it lazy it's just like you say, you are learning alot and its mroe important to let it sink in bit by bit rather than do it all at once. Step at a time, and bit by bit. If you ever need any help with photoshop then don't hesitate to ask! As I've mentioned before, I've used it for some years and has become second nature to me now so I should usualy be able to help you out and offer some sort of solution to most problems, although not so much when it comes to digital painting as that is something I'll be starting once I get round to by a pen and tablet and just keep struggling with the mouse for now and do what I can.

Ahaha, well, I can't deny the truth.
I will make sure to ask if need be, you've provided me with so many advices so far, you are one of my "go to" person.

Well if you ever want crit for anything photoshop wise and you want me to get really picky but also give alot more info on fixes, workarounds and alternatives etc just note me wit a link to the image.
It's strange, because Ive used photshop so long I have forgoten what its like to first start using it and feel totaly lost with it, but it really is a great, and powerfull tool. For me photoshop is all about it being a digital image editing tool and what I can do with the best result, for the least work with no loss on quality of product, not like with DAZ and unfinished renders and working scenes that I post on here.
I first got into it after using Gimp as it was free and saved up to get Photoshop 4. I've never looked back since and have had 12 years of passion, fun, frustration and enoyment out of it and now a job from the initial interest in graphic design I got from Gimp. I spent 9 years just 'playing' with photoshop. For the first year I did alot of tutorials to pick up the basics but soon go bored with nothing but tutorials such as 'Cool Flames!', 'Swirly Rings' kind of thing which is nothing but filter after filter. I moved away from this and looked into photo manipulation more, and eventualy more what I would call 'design work' and moved away from photoshop 'effects'.
Moving to manipulation and 'design' is where you will learn most on how to use photoshop effectivly. If you haven't allready, go out and learn the Pen Tool! I would say it is one of the most powerfull tools you could ever ask for in photoshop and has use in almost limitless sitations.
It's strange, becuase all this time I have been trying to learn DAZ, I have never really used Photoshop to make my images look more appealing other than layering with blending options. I've never spent time just 'photoshoping' and using 'effects', 'design' and 'manipulation' to add anyhitng to the piece. Tasha: The Feeling is really the first time I've done it and was very enjoyable to do. I think you will see that more from me now, especialy as I always tend to have the boring 'studio' look due to the power restrictions. That's what I'm working on tonight on my overnight render. It's something I've not done for yeeeeaaaaaaaarrrrrssssss and there are a couple of examples of it in my gallery from a long time ago so it should be fun to see if I can remember what I did all those years ago!
And now,... I shall stop whittering on and hogging all your comment box. I think I got abit nostalgic :')

Yeah, I'm lucky because once again I have you and a bunch of other friends ready to lend me a hand when I'm going to start exploring PS more! You're so correct in saying that it's a powerful tool. I'm barely touching the surface of it and it limits what I want to do at times, as you'll probably see in a picture I'll be posting in a few days.
I think you got the right idea. DAZ is perfect to set your scene and everything, but it's very demanding, so if you have the skills, might as well work out the nice finishing touches in PS to enhance the scene. There's no reason to work with either one or the other when you can do both!
It would be awesome to see you remake "older" pictures. I intend to do that as well, one day, if I stop accumulating so many new ideas.
