Description
This is for plasmid because I think he is the type of guy who will appreciate this upcoming wicked Sumerian legend... and I promise, this is the straight stuff, right from the Good B... oops, wrong record folks...broken clay tablets themselves.
Anyways, you can check out some of Gary's twisted humor at http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/browse.php?user_id=83166
-------
And so we say our goodbyes to you Sargon, trusting that you have now seen the light.
Indeed my lady Ishtar, cannot you see how I am now bathed in your radiance? I shall now rule well and with Enheduanna and Alora by my side we shall enlighten all our people of the wisdom of Ishtar.
That is good. Then so be it, we will take our leave of you, knowing you now as Sargon the Just.
By the Gods Ninshubar that was damn hard work getting this mess all sorted out. We set off heading for Grandfather's library and wound up waging a war! Humans are a lot more difficult dealing with than I could ever imagine. What say you? I could sure do with a beer!
Me too my Lady! I've had enough of this being a good girl mentor to a kid thingy; I wanna have some fun! And with all this fighting and spell casting I'm so thirsty I could drink the Tigris dry.
Ha, well said dear cousin! And we both know who has the best brewer on staff in Sumer, don't we?
Grandfather Enki! Oh yes let's go back to Eridu! Let's kick back, party, feast and get hammered! Oh, and we'll not forget to give our kisses to Grandfather too; he'll be thrilled at what we've been able to pull off.
Yes he will be, and we all need a celebration. But aside from pounding back a lot of ale, I now more than ever thirst for the knowledge contained in Grandfather's library. So let us not forget our original reason for leaving Uruk, let us go to Eridu and see if we cannot liberate some of those tablets from his library!
Well Ventusi is ready to sail. Shall I call the Wind?
Yes, do so. It is time for you and I to slake our thirsts.
----------
The legend continues as the girls head for a bit of a bender at Grandpa's brewery. The gods of Mesopotamia were known to be lustful, playful and capricious, so there is nothing out of character here. Will the girls wrap the old guy around their fingers as they seek to liberate his library or will the forces of reason and wisdom prevail?

Oh, look out! It's Girls Night at grampa's brewery - um, I mean library... Well you've left the door open wide for some delightful fooling around with these lovley dieties. I can't wait to see where you take this one, Roxy. Maybe I'd better read up on some Sumerian legends... Wonderful artwork as always, Roxy!
~Awesome~ Both Scene & Story... FABULOUS!!!
Adorable posing and art!
Stunning work!!!!!!
Very cool looking characters and scene. Nice work!
Lovely gals. Great smiles for both of them - sharing a fun conversation indeed. Great presentation and posing. Nice!
Holy cow Roxy, I feel honored you would do this. I wish I had more time to visit everyone's gallery on a more frequent basis but work and health issues are REALLY slamming me right now. Thank you so much for the nice acknowledgment. I get a lot of wonderful enjoyment watching how your skill continues to grow. I hope everyone takes a lesson from your perseverance and desire to move your art forward. Again thanks and I want to share something with you that I have been trying that you might find adds another level to your work (not that it needs it... something I found that helps me). Lately I have been adding a wash to my images to tie all the values together. A lot of artists do this when painting. I was just sharing this with MrWolf53. What I do when I finish all my postwork, is use the photo filter feature in Photoshop to add a wash of color to the whole render. The button for this is at the bottom of the layer palette. Click on this button (round...next to layer mask button) and then select "photo filter" option from the pull down menu that appears. When the photo filter box appears, click on the color in the box and then click anywhere on your render to load a color/value from that render. I try to chose a color most common to the entire render. After you have selected that color, click back on the color box and a color picker box will appear. From this choose a color gradient to the left of center so that you are selecting a grayer version of the original color. Now, in the photo filter box, select a density of between 50 - 70%. This will add the value to the whole render and will act like a wash, bringing all the elements of the render together. It can be a small thing or a dramatic effect, you can choose by altering the color and density. The end result should be that all your different layers will have more in common regarding value. If I did a lousy job of explaining this, please let me know and I will try again...haha. At any rate, thnx again and I hope you find this useful (not that you need it).
Beautiful scene, nice interaction between the ladies - like an easy and twittering chat... Vashek
With these two lovely lasses mischievously scheming, he hasn't got a prayer! lol Really love how the relationship of characters plays out in this beautiful image and a great story to go with it! Well done!
