Description

They are not sworn enemies, they may even know each other, but as they enter the gladiatorial arena they become mortal combatants, it is a fight to the death. As they lock glances, each knows that if he is to walk out of the arena alive, the other surely must die! The Roman gladiatorial arean was a brutal, bloody place, but as I don't particularly enjoy depicting gore, I chose the initial moment of combat, just before the first blow is struck, when the gladiators (the Barbarian versus the Greek) see the look of mortal desperation in each others' eyes. This is my 100th image! It took me nearly three years, but I have enjoyed producing every one, and wish I had more time!. Even with the frustrations of DAZ crashing and not always doing what I wanted, the process of bringing my imagination to life in 3D has been a lot of fun. This is also my last image with DAZ 3, as I have now upgraded to DAZ 4 Advanced and am trying to learn the new interface. I will let you know how it goes on my next post...my first DAZ 4 effort. Thanks for looking and for your comments! You are the greatest! I tried to pay a lot of attention to detail in this one, so please take a moment to ZOOM and enjoy them! Previously: "Full of Grace":

oh yeah bro must be a weird feeling to know you have to kill the other one to survive. i still do most of my works in daz 3adv. daz 4adv.has behaved weird sometimes on mine. daz 4 free was more stable again on my equipments than the adv version. although its amazing to work with the autofit tool. glad to see you around again since a few days.

To sart with, congrats on 100 ! I must say that those 100 images are well above the common level of the galleries...all so well rendered. This new one is perfect, there is no other word. Good luck with DS4...I tried the free version of it but don't understand how I could spread the windows over my two screens...I'll use Poser for a long time I guess.
