How it was done? [2B Nier Automata RE]

Hello my Sweethearts!

Today I'm here too share on how previously published photo was done.
For this photoshoot, we were searching for location with geometrical structures or props (at least).
Tao found studio with beautiful wall with square black panels and different sized cubes.
After the photoshoot I realized one small detail, that we missed on set. We used too little light for the background, concentrating more on model's appearence.
As you remember from one of my previous posts, it was hard to concentrate on set due to undesirable strangers around.
But what's already happened, can't be redone or shouldn't be. At least it helped us to have proper face expression on model's face. The more easier emotion, harder it is sometimes to get from uncooperative model )

About specific shot. Texture of the wall behind model and parts of 2B's costume were missing in dark tones, so first I raised level of blacks and returned contrast to overall image.
Later I erased ceiling, remade wall behind the model, erased Tao's hands, redrew some dress parts. After preparations were done, I retouched the skin and hairs,
changed model's body proportions, where needed, redrew and recreated some parts of the costume, and a bit reworked the light.

I can't call this shot hardest one, more like usual one. Because as you know, some of our final shots were made by combining several different shots. And this model had better skin condition due to young age, and she wasn't wearing net tights. Net tights is very bad decision if model has skin problems on legs. Because you need to retouch eack square individually. What am I saying, even if skin is good, skin color needs to be fixed. )

Before I go back to work, here are backstage photos of this finished image from Tao's perspective as bonus for you )

Have a great day and wear warm clothes if it's cold at your place or dring more water, if it is hot! )
