    I don't know this lady, but it's not important. You created her very well and you gave her character.
    Great showcase
    Where can I find this beautiful sabre?

    She is gorgeous my friend. You captured her very well with your rendition of her in Skyrim. Another fantastic SNC.

    You're so cruel, Rick!
    *stares at Nirnroot*
    How am I supposed to say something about your shots if you place SUCH a distraction right underneath them?

    Hehe... Just kidding here. She looks amazing. (Well that woman, I mean. I wouldn't have to say that if we were talking about a perfect little Nirnroot... )
    Your SNC sets are always great and nice to look at. I don't know her again, but that's pretty common for me...
    Still great work.

    Another character from my favourite movie
    Good job.

    Movie Valeria was a mix of Valeria and Belit from the books/comics i believe.

    That's great Rick, I know the movie all too well and you captured her in that scene nicely. The face tattoo is the icing on the cake.

      Thank you very much, Patrick!

      She's kind of an icon when it comes to female fantasy swordmaidens from the 80's. Quite a few movies were realeased during this time, but most of them was just rubbish. The Conan movie however reached cult status - at least here in Sweden - and Valeria is one of the reasons I'd say - strong female warriors were not too common. Red Sonja would be the other epic female fantasy character from this decade, but sadly the movie about her with Brigitte Nielsen wasn't all too good - although I did like Brigitte dressed up as Red Sonja...

      I'm part of that Conan cult. I actually saw this in the theater when I was 12 and I own 2 versions of the DVD, the VHS and of course the CD with the soundtrack. I even have a high carbon spring steel and brass sword replica that is actually hammered together. Full tang and 100% made for combat. 6 pounds of swinging awesome. I bought it from Kriss Cutlery back in the 80's.

      I did the etching my self.

    And it is your own touch which makes this set so extraordinary, min vän
    I love her blue eyes and her cheekiness... if I remember the film right (loooong time ago I saw it) she was always very stern... but I love your version much more... I think pirates and thiefs should have a natural sarkasm and audacity... and you've catched that perfectly
    What else could I say than... outstanding images, Rick... and I like the last pic

    She looks gorgeous Rick , and I think you nailed her pretty well. I've seen that movie multiple times and always enjoyed the spirit of this lady. You've captured that very well aswell as her likeness .
    Also liked the bonus shot,.. love that black background,..

      Thank you kindly, Erwin!

      It's a movie I've seen multiple times as well and I've also always liked this female rogue warrior. She has a cocky attitude that really appeals to me and in the 80's when this movie came out, it was just about the coolest you could see if you were into fantasy.

      It was her spirit I wanted to capture the most. The likeness is a bit far off, but as I said, this is my version after all. It's fun doing images of characters you have an idea about. I might do more Conan characters since I've read quite a lot of the novels when I was younger.

      The bonus was taken during this pose session with Valeria, but I couldn't resist capture it with a screenshot, since it looked very neat indeed against the black darkness of nightfall.
