Description
Almost seems a contradiction, a savage belonging to an empire, but it happaned all the time with Rome and other empires.
Not a very exciting pic. Didn't take long to throw togeather. I wanted to do something. I haven't posted anything in a long time. I've put most major projects on hold as I lost my Graphire pen when I moved, so I have to either find it or replace it. Money is tight though so that may be a bit. Grrr!
The helm is from the legionaire stuff from Daz. The mantle is from an old website, can't remember the name of it, but the heavy horse was available there as well as a bunch of other stuff. Dragon Factory or something from back in the day. Mike 2 from daz cause I hate mike 3. Can't wait for Mike 4! The girdle and skirt and cloak or cape are simple models of my own for use with poser's cloth room.
Anyways, an image kind of inspired by Aquilonia, the greatest kingdom of the hyborian age. At least as far as the colors go. Hope you enjoy.
Cheers :)

Fine picture! The rider is so well clothed and posed for the composition.
Realy good for a fast project!....but he needs some bracers or gantlets to be complete. MORE Please. I love Heroic Fantasy.
Nice one!!! The pose is just perfect... well done man!
Very good and cool image ... The horse is very realistic I love the mist and that Celtic hill. Bravo
Awesome, you have a real knack for posing horse and rider.
