Description
Its the mid-1800s in the "West" ...the west of the Pacific that is. A shore party from one of Commodore Perry's "Black Ships," ...sightseeing.
Here, a jumpy officer hears a noise while exploring a mysterious cave somewhere in the "Loo-Choo" Islands (which is a clumsy transliteration of Ryukyu). Did someone perhaps tell him "...there be dragons?"
assets
Alabama Capt. uniform (Poserworld)- re-textured
"Navy" revolver -Western firearms (DAZ)- I'd initially overlooked this old freebie set as a source for an early "cap and ball" revolver. What a find?!
The burning torch, cave and "Guanyin"-like stalagmite complete with devotee's prayers all modelled in Shade 10.5 - materials added in Poser.
Thanks for viewing and comments

Looks great in full view!
Yep! If the 'Mother' Dragon is coming home to check those eggs, he is in deep brown stuff! Great Render and I love that creepy looking stalagmite at the back! Rob
A very creepy scene, i'd be more than a little afraid if I were him as I don't think that revolver will be much use. Well lit render!
