Description
They are not sworn enemies, they may even know each other, but as they enter the gladiatorial arena they become mortal combatants, it is a fight to the death. As they lock glances, each knows that if he is to walk out of the arena alive, the other surely must die!
The Roman gladiatorial arean was a brutal, bloody place, but as I don't particularly enjoy depicting gore, I chose the initial moment of combat, just before the first blow is struck, when the gladiators (the Barbarian versus the Greek) see the look of mortal desperation in each others' eyes.
This is my 100th image! It took me nearly three years, but I have enjoyed producing every one, and wish I had more time!. Even with the frustrations of DAZ crashing and not always doing what I wanted, the process of bringing my imagination to life in 3D has been a lot of fun. This is also my last image with DAZ 3, as I have now upgraded to DAZ 4 Advanced and am trying to learn the new interface. I will let you know how it goes on my next post...my first DAZ 4 effort.
Thanks for looking and for your comments! You are the greatest!
I tried to pay a lot of attention to detail in this one, so please take a moment to ZOOM and enjoy them!

Congrats on your 100th post, Bro! I know what you mean about time - it's so frustrating! It still amazes me how you get such amazing quality with DAZ. I've got the free'beta version of 4, but haven't installed it yet.. That time thing again.. I barely have time to work with Poser, and trying to learn how to use Vue and Bryce! :-P Good to see you in the galleries again, Marco!
