Description
Katinya, outcast from her tribe has been living on her own for so many triple moons she can not say how long it has been.
One double moon ago, a bird fell from the sky and she rescued a boy who calls himself David from the flames of the phoenix. His eyes were burned by the brilliance of the phoenix but her knowledge of herbs has helped to his site to be almost regained.
She made a decision to bring David to her tribe even though she may find stoning if she returns.
Halfway through the journey they encounter a slatmerta. It stands its ground and roars with foul breath inches from her face. It roars it's menacing fury again. Katinya slowly...slowly reaches for her knife. It is their only feeble chance at survival.

Shadownet let me play with his newest (beta) outfit for Miki and V4 and insisted I did not have to make a picture but I had such fun I just could not help myself. Everytime I start a pic a story comes to mind and I have to illustrate it.
I need help though. I use DazStudio and the shaders that come with the outfit are for Poser6/7. I don't know how to use shaders in DazStudio. I wanted to try and see if the shaders would work there...they make the outfit look furry and fuzzy.
If anyone knows how to load the shaders in D/S and how to open the shader toolbox, could you pm me? Would appreciate it :)

I had to use Xero's free plugin to add a bit of fluff to the texture. Rhianon's tatoos, Stonemason's gargoyle head (didn't have to tell you, did I? :)), PC old west knife & sheath, PG woodland bow and arrow, cypunk blindfold and Shadownet's Edge of Never outfit for V4.
Whew! That's a bunch of stuff, lol.
Ooops! I forgot whose face morph I used for V4 :(

Xcellent composition!
Wow what an impressive and scary monster (on the right) :) Excellent work!!!!!!
Very nice work girl.
I love the creepy mood! Most beautiful composition.
Awww, poor Slatmerta .. I feel sorry for the thing! Why, you ask? Because I know Katninya is going to end it's life in a few seconds! The girl is a survivor, and no mere monster is going to get her! You can see "Winner" written all over her! Awesome render Nancy, you are so good! The dark of the background is perfect, and when you really look, you can see there is darkness, and there is REAL darkness!! Fabulous!!
That's a really cool piece, especially with the way you've done the lighting. I'm afraid I can't help you with the DAZ Studio stuff, as I've really not used it at all. Great work, and good story to go with it.
Spooky encounter for sure. I like it.
Excellent creation and detailed...cool done!!!:o)

SCAREY!!! BUT VERY WELL DONE.
