I have seen this contest, and tought it just came the right time. When a game will focus on rebuilding there should be ruins, and among the ruins there should be someone who tells / shows what they should rebuild first. At least her toughts about that. With that idea in hand it was easy time to start DAZ Studio and create a scene.
Created in DAZ Studio, using IRay rendering engine from nVidia.
Given the fact that DAZ Studio uses plenty of stock models and morphs to adjust and customize them, it is a pretty simple image. Okay even others used models from various sources...
I tought putting a magical/holy light source to one side, and having this girl point towards the "darkness" barey illuminated by the light when she would point to an area where help from the new nobles are quite urgent.
After the war even girls from not so good families can end up in important positions. So simple background and a bit of "unusual for her" gear can work well.
In poorer regions curves that suggest she can feed a potential baby are more important than legs, speed, agility and size can trump safe. And again she have earned her position with questionable popularity. She doesn't think much about the new noble, but she thinks it is about seducing him could be easy. As you can guess darkness is important and the same can be true about poses, gestures, emotions, etc. Scene position, poses, pose control adjustments helped to emphasize this.
Also I wanted to reflect to the fact that being one of the pretiest from that 10 girls around her age and the among the 5 pretiest among 3000 rivals in city is quite different
Even after the war she should be a bit unprepared. So even with this simple little image it is time to focus on important details.

I honestly first thought this was a photo – and only after reading the description realized it’s a 3D render – so I supposed I gotta give you credit for realism. The picture looks and feels real – the textures are embedded beautifully. While the light source too looks realistic I gotta say it sort of appears like a cheap spotlight. The light cast on the girl looks nice and warm (though perhaps it would better suit an indoors environment) but I can’t say I’d think this light as holy – it has a bit too yellow tint to it that makes me think of an old fashioned light bulb. I think if the light was more tinted towards blue or purple it would look more eerie and magical. Perhaps adding some glow here and would do the trick as well.
The composition could use a bit refinement. The light indicates that the bushes are of most importance but the layout hints it being the girl. The cropping looks a bit too tight on the top, but there’s plenty of empty space on the bottom that doesn’t seem to serve any purpose. Those two light beams on the picture look a bit misleading to me – I first thought they were edges of something and only later realized they are supposed to be light. I don’t think they are needed, you have a clear light source already and leaving the beams out the image setting would also look less cluttered.
The girl’s design looks great! Lots of interesting details, but clear simple outfit that does her figure justice. I think she does look pretty – but perhaps a cleaner and less messy hairstyle would have really emphasized her beauty.
I know this sounds like a lot of nitpicking. I really think this is a good piece and you’re very talented with rendering. I only hope some of my points can be found useful for the future projects.

A great render here. I read the description you have on this piece and yiu have put a lot of thought into who she is. The lighting here is superb.
