Description
His gladiatorial name is "The Gorgon" and he wears symbols of the most feared of all the gorgons, Medusa. He fights with no shield, but two swords, and his two trained Bengal tigers. For him, they purr, for any they face on the sand they are death with fangs and claws. Today as this trio enters the arena all three roar a fearsome challenge to any who would face them...
This is a big image, please ZOOM to enjoy the details...you won't be disappointed! :)
In this scene I enjoyed using the fabulous Spartacos character and Spartacos armor by Joanna (StudioArtVartanian). I love stories and images of ancient Rome and this character and outfit are superb for themed renders.
I spent a lot of time tinkering with light and depth of field in DAZ in this image. I did about a dozen renders with different variations of light and dof, and finally settled on this one. I hope you like it.
Thanks for looking and for you comments! I appreciate your support!
Thanks also for all the comments and favs on my previous image "Seek and Destroy":

The lighting and depth are striking. All your work paid off!
I really like the light here--it makes the wonderful textures look even better, and the cats look grrrreat too. He is definitely someone better observed from the grandstand rather than the arena!
Very well composed scene. Lots of great detail.

Ready for Battle! I love it!

Just looking at a render of this guy scares hell out of me! I think I'll leave the arena in disgrace, and keep my head a while longer. Marco, this is fantastic! The detail in this is outstanding, my friend! It's very easy to see the enjoyment you experienced while creating this. Your work definitely paid off! Magnificent!
Each time you open one of alessimarco's images you know that you are to see something entirely different you always gets surprised! This painting is magnificent in its concept and meticulously execution: Just look at the skin tone of the man!
