This is for my most gracious friend Misthemes (Maud) who makes the most delightful light Wiccan images. Normally, as you know I love the dark side, but Maud's works are just so charming they can melt any dark heart. Recently Misthemes had a bit of shabby treatment by RMP testers and she was on my mind over the several days it took to create this image. I hope better fortune shines on you now my dear. I love all her images but check out "Open the portal" to see some of her gorgeous texture work - available in RMP.
Three seperate layer renders and some 24 hours of production work and it's done!
Ishtar! Ninshubar! Oh, it is so good to see my two most beautiful and beloved Granddaughters again. Come up here and let me hug you. You look no worse for your time in the darklands, Ishtar. Is all well with you now?
Yes, dear Grandfather I am well. Thanks to you, Ninshubar, and your beloved, brave Isimud I am free of Ereshkigal.
And free from your lousy lout of a husband too I hear! I never did like Tammuz. In a way it is too bad that you did not impale him when you had the chance. But oh well, we only have to deal with the bastard a few months of the year and you and Ereshkigal have control of him now. He'll be much more careful where he plants his seeds from now on! Hah!
Yes indeed, we now have firm control of the seasons and I am free to focus more on love and less on war. And for that dear Grandfather, and for freeing me, Ninshubar and I have come to pay you a visit and to give you our respects. For you are the wisest of the wise of all the Gods.
You two are always welcome in my home, my dear, for I love you both beyond all worlds. You two are the most brave and honorable Goddesses in Sumer. And you Ishtar, or Innana, as your mother called you, you are now the most powerful Goddess in all of Mesopotamia. I could not leave you to rot in Ereshkigal's grasp ... although I do hope you have learned your lesson and will now respect more the rules and laws of being a Goddess.
Yes Grandfather I have learned this hard lesson. And that is another reason why I have come to Eridu. When I was a young girl you gave me a stone tablet with the rules of being the Goddess of Love and War. You told me then it was from a library of civilization that you had. I would like to study this library if I may. I want to learn how to be a complete Goddess and to teach my people of Uruk how to be more fruitful citizens, as are your people of Eridu.
Ishtar, this is all very good and we will talk about this more later. But now I want to introduce you to your cousin Alora. She is the daughter of my daughter Ninmu, Goddess of the Marshlands and the city of Lagash. She has arrived but a few days ago and brings disturbing and terrible news. I am sorry to say that your time as Goddess of War may not yet be at an end.
Alora? I have not yet met you, though I know of your mother. I hope she is well, but what brings you to visit Grandfather? And what is this of war?
Sargon my lady. Sargon of Akkad has invaded the Sumerian cities along the Tigris. Ten moons ago he defeated the army of Lagash. He killed my father in battle and destroyed my mother's water temple. She has disappeared; I know not where she is. My mother always told me if there was ever terrible trouble in Lagash that I should escape to Grandfather Enki's home, for he would always know what to do. So now I am here.
Sargon! Sargon the Conqueror? I have watched this man. He has always been a threat to the peaceful cities of Sumer. This will not stand. No mere mortal destroys the temples of the Gods of Sumer and does not answer to Ishtar for it!

This is spectacular. Gorgeous detail, wonderfully sweeping in mood and execution. A rich and lovely scene! And Sargon was an interesting guy - ruthless conqueror, yet the author of one of the earliest legal codes. I'll love to see what moe you do with him!

Perfect as always Roxy, you have packed so much detail into such a limited space! Even at full size this image is packed. I am always amazed at your ability to tell the story and then present a snapshot from it with your posted image. The thought and and time that goes into your work is simply amazing. I am really enjoying this story, it is very well written and flows like an Ocean current!

Roxy you never cease to amaze and delight as your images and stories are legendary. This Reunion chapter is a vibrant work of art and in all honesty would make fantastic cover art for any novel

This is a fantastic scene as I never seen before in Poser context. Multiple characters realistic posed, a consistent tonescale, artistic geometric mesh, cool dynamic apparel, an interesting moment from myth and history! As the great Finnish poet Diktonius said, "From todays aberrations comes tomorrow's art". And we are witness to it! BTW, such sandals are very fashionable right now..
