Description
She stepped across the threshold ready for the inevitable combat ahead.
Molly's art notes: Set up and rendered with Poser 13.0.296 using the Superfly Cycles X rendering engine. Some small amount of spectral bloom and noise reduction was accomplished within Superfly. A bit more tweaking to add a subtle vignette in Photoshop. The character is Taki from the game Soul Calibur and is based on V4 using modifications and other content from -=Wartech=- .
The picture is fan art, the character is owned by Bandai Namco Studios. I confess I have never played the game but I love the look of the character.

Wonderful fantasy render - great pose!
Thank you, my dear. The pose is pretty much the only thing I can take sole credit for so I'm delighted you think it adds to the overall impact!

She looks as deadly as the video game. Great representation here.
I'm thinking that would be high praise! XD I've never played the game but I liked the look of the character and watched a few video captures that convinced me I'd not enjoy the game (slow, fat fingers; a real problem with those fighting games... >.< ) but it convinced me I'd like to try to depict her. Thanks for taking a moment to offer some encouragement; I really appreciate it! <3

Now that is one tough cookie! Love the colours, everything just comes together perfectly
Thank you so much for the comment and encouragement, Cassandra. I did some retexturing and messed a lot with the lighting but mostly it's just really good content. =) As you are using DAZ Studio these days I would mention that the content creator, -=Wartech=- has started mostly making stuff for DS. You might want to check out her site.

Merci pour vos paroles très généreuses, mon ami!

Superb image!
Thank you! I had a great time putting it together. =)
Molly
Cool, She's one of my favorite characters.:)
I'm delighted you enjoyed the image enough to comment. I've not played the game but from what I've seen she's an excellent character. =)
Molly
Outstanding gorgeous composition, wonderful environment, great atmosphere and lighting, brilliant awesome render.
Magnificent Masterpiece of Finest Arts. I love it!
Thank you, Marius. As usual, you are too kind! =)
Molly
Really a great battle pose ready for some competition. Well done !
Thank you, my dear! The pose is about all I can take credit for... well, a bit of retexturing and the lighting, too, I guess. XD
Molly
She's really good armed for her mission, I'm more a gungirl! 😂 Wish you already a very nice weekend!
Thanks, Ute. Of course, she's not my original character and I tried to remain faithful to her appearance and armament in the game from which she is taken. =)
Molly
👍Don't worry you did a good job, Ute
She's so cool! I don't know the character, but now I want to. :) well done!
Heh. Thanks, Barb! I don't know the character either but, like you, she looked cool to me so I wanted to try to bring her to life in my own way. I appreciate your validation of my efforts! <3

I've played just about every game in the series, since the original arcade game. You really did her justice with not just the outfit but the pose and expression. Even the environment would fit right in.
Gosh, thanks, Randy! As noted above, I've never played the game but I watched some video on You Tube of someone else playing it to get an idea of how the character should look and what kind of surroundings would be appropriate. I'm delighted that you can validate for me the choices I made! =)
