    First of all: Simplicity!

    Do only the necessary. Victoria, the camera, 2 spotlight and 1 distantlight

    It is a portrait focused on his face, so I recommend hiding all body parts of Victoria that will not see. With that improves program performance.

    No major changes in the character "Frostbite" except elf ears. Perhaps most striking are the changes in eye shape editing options "Victoria 2.4 morphs + +".

    I like customize "EyeLidsBottomInHeight", "EyeLidsBottomOutHeight", "EyeLidsTopInHeight" and "EyeLidsTopOutHeight". I think it really brings a great personality to the expression

    In this case, I tried to position her lips seem a bit sensual.

    "Human surface shader" has become something essential for my drawings. I reduce the value of "Specular Strength" between 15% and 30%, depending on illumination.

    The streng of the bumps depends on the proximity of the camera. In a scene very close is better smoothed values ​​"Minimum" and "Maximum".

    I wanted to create a very marked effect of shadows, as seen in the chains. To do this I applied a shadow type "Raytraced" with a very high value in the main focus.

    The secondary focus only offers some light side for stuffing. To increase a bit the contrast of the forms I placed a distantlight in front of the camera, behind the model.
