Description Unfortunately real life threw me back on my story schedule. So here's a little test and character design I did while working (lucky to be able to do that, at least). 

It's Pixel HD :   www.daz3d.com/pixel-hd-for-gen…  - an extremely rare case when I was absolutely thrilled with a facial design out of the box. She's on sale right now, at least with PC+.
She has some drawbacks - she's not doing so well with long hairs (not technically, simply due to her face) and I felt she neither took well to morphing (of the face), but then I'm quite happy with the way she is.
So I was quite pleased, that the Long Shag Hair :  www.daz3d.com/long-shag-hair-f… worked with her.

Actually everything turned out so well, that I think I'll get her a job as a professional gladiator with a rival school to our heroes employer. 

And just to say it before I get thrashed for it again I'll likely tune down those muscles to a (slightly) more realistic shape and size, but this was more a overblown style sketch for fun. I also put in quite a bit of filter and postwork because of that.

fun question.

It would make for a nice fight, since this lady here would likely not make any dumb mistakes or tire quickly.
Apart from all the folklore, gladiators really trained hard (though they would look less toned because they were fed energy rich food to keep going), not surprisingly those that survived their first few fights would be awesome fighters.


Rakan is actually bigger and heavier - might be suprising, because she's not been in a lot of pictures where this is apparent, the Cimmerians and some others (Monk, Stranger) are among the tallest people around. And she's still pretty young which may add to this impression.
Yet if they stood next to each other, even if the gladiatrix would be quite well sized for her culture which is more mediterranean/latin, Rakan would easily outweigh and outsize her.

Adding to that Rakan is from a human strain closer to the Neanderthals... Just don't think grumpy hunchback but how people look when they go well nourished and cared for as children (as opposed to starved stoneage scavenger) plus adding some decent physical activity.
Decent physical activity meaning running parcour through treetops all day as child. And even then she's got some real combat experience (remember the fights with the slavers before the trip to the holy mountain).

Without spoiling to much, after these events, she's got the experience from literally ten thousand fights to the death. She will change her name to Scythe later, for good reason. 

I think it would be a fun fight, but the outcome is a foregone conclusion.

She turned out to be actually very sweet and interesting looking. As unrealistic and overkill the muscles look at her (and probably would be an anybody besides real bodybuilders), together with the outfit and the filters it is looking quite stylised, almost like an comic or anime character. I think, it speaks to your great character building skills, that this is looking cool and not ridicules, like from some other people. Don’t you want trying instead of dumping it ip, going even more radical and stylised? Like, even longer legs and a smaller waist or something? I would like to see even more works like this, despite the fact that I’m not a sucker for super muscular female characters. You could add some fantasy elements too, like real horns or tails or so, to push the adult cartoon style, if you are interested in this. I’m always impressed how you manage to expand your subjects and styles every time one thinks, now he has finally reached his boundaries. 🤘🤘🤘🥳👍

Thank you so much! I have to admit that this was a somewhat quick creation... but then slight imperfections at the right place can improve the overall outcome.

I was really happy with the hair and face even though that isn't obvious in this format and postwork. The hair colour is really nice and it works well with the fave. But I could experiment a bit with elongating the proportions like some anime styles do. I'd have to create a complimentary male form, too. In any case something to try when there is no time for more difficult and complex stuff.

I'm not sure if you've got some experience with DAZ and the Genesis Models, but if it does one thing it's morphing and combining bodies. In this case there IS actually a decent amount of 'heavy' and 'weight' morphs in her shape (call those terms euphemisms, if you wish).
It's just not that obvious because of the overall hourglass shape due to thighs and shoulders. So that's maybe why she appeals to you more than expected. A gladiator is not a bodybuilder (though they really trained like crazy, probably the best single combat fighters in the roman world) and they were fed a steady and nutritious diet.

But of course this was mainly a little fun pice and she really turned out a 'little' feisty redhead

Oh, she's a redhead, that must be why. xD My conscious mind didn't notice that at first, but my subconscious must have done so. Also, she reminds me of Alexstrasza a little bit.

Magnus-Strindboem In reply to WatchTheSkiies [2019-11-21 21:15:29 +0000 UTC]

Must be the horns. Not surprisingly, successful gladiators were also quite the showmen. I think she will come from a beast school that is at least somewhat friendly to the dacian school of the heroes. Though they specialize in fighting and fighting with beasts, she might have some outfit relating to it. Now dragon or satyr are both interesting choices.

Damn.... this girl doesn't miss leg day.... Really nice... There's a contrast with her face compared to the rest of her body that I really like....  Kinda like some girls I've seen at the gym.... though not as dramatic of course. The light and dof really make this pop.... Nice.

TY I was fooling around with that Pixel character. It did not work out at first, because the face is pretty special, it's nice with short hair and a slim frame. But of course that nagged me so finally this lady came up...

I think so, too. I generally like this for storyline pictures. The only struggle ist to define a consistent style that will work over a range of pictures, especially since I have no real training in that kind of stuff and have to go by trial and error

Hmm... Fantasy-Kreaturen waren für ToTheDeath nicht vorgesehen. Aber ich hatte in der ursprünglichen Version Schuhe/Stiefel dabei, die in die Richtung gingen. Ala Satyr. Eventuell nehme ich die oder etwas Ähnliches, es sah tatsächlich nicht schlecht aus.

Very nice character.


I don't mind the fact she is "over muscle", but maybe it comes from her outfit and the filters that gives her (for me) some fantasy vibe.

In a more realistic set up maybe it would be too much.

Yeah... it was more of a fantasy take, with the gladiator theme, because I was to lazy/busy to do something different. But I think she'll make a strong competitor
