Years of searching had finally paid off. Here he stood, in the tomb of the fabled Andromache. Andromache, an Amazon Queen whose name means "Man Fighter". Myths! They were claimed to be myths. But, here was the proof. They had lived and breathed and fought and died just as the stories claimed. He approached the stone coffin slowly and with reverence. As he neared, a shadow seperated from the hidden corners of the room. A female, unlike any woman he had ever seen. She was beautiful beyond description, yet powerful in build. No frail lady, she. A warrior of imposing stature. And, before he could utter a single word, she struck. After posting "Guardian of the Door", a friend, Pati, asked an interesting question, "I often wonder about those female guardians in those high cut/low cut revealing costumes.... Where there ever people who dressed like this and looked so great?" Well, the "myths" of the Amazon women claim that they were beautiful and great fighters trained in all weapons. It was, also, claimed that they removed one breast to aide in the use of the bow. Perhaps their clothing was not as skimpy as my guardian is wearing, but they certainly did not wear full body armor. It should, also, be noted that recent discoveries would indicate that these "myths" were based on fact. It would seem that there did exist a race of warrior women. Anyway, this all prompted me to revamp my guardian. This image is the result. A slightly "beefed up" Michael with his body suit (DAZ 3D). The body suit texture is the Rogue texture by Gorodin (RMP) His hair is the Wonder Wedge by Elizabeth Ippolito with morph and map from Warlords: Michael 2.0 Barbarian by Drax Multimedia Designs and Platinum Dragon Illustrations (all DAZ 3D) His boots are the Morphing Boots (DAZ #d). His opponent is Victoria 3 (DAZ 3D) with the fantastic bodypaints from Janelle-V3-Bodypaint by Angelmoon (RMP). The hair is Magix-VR-Hair by hmann (RMP). The swords are from the wonderful RDNA Blades Vol 1 set (RDNA). The poses are slightly modified versions of ones found in Battle Bonanza Poses for V3/Mike by SnowSultan (RMP). Finally, the scene is 3dmodelz' The Chamber by andix (RMP).
