Description
The famous story of how the Sphinx lost it's nose courtesy of Napoleon's soldiers. They were supposedly doing target practice-- I added the numerous wine bottles assuming they'd have to be drunk to do such a thing. Historians believe this tale now to be urban legend.
As far as doing the image, I created the background in Vue and Mapped it to DAZ's cyclorama prop. In Poser, I then added the soldiers (uniforms by PoserStyle), Cannon (by Jim Burton) and wine bottles and finally then a little touch-up in Painter.
