Face modeled in Poser, edited with Maya, materials, hair and touch up's done with Photoshop, model manipulation and render done with Bryce. I had a lot of fun with the hair! A very descriptive 3D digital art tutorial on how to create portraits like this is available at: http://www.infinitee-designs.com/Portrait_Tutorial.htm
Enjoy!
I really appreciate the digital montage of methods. It creates a depth around the subject's face and gives movement to the hair-the advantage of both methods. I am not familiar/experienced with Bryce or Poser but between Maya and Photoshop I can say job well done. Thanx for the post.
PS - good color and texture use/comp.
