[ Description: A colour image of a barbarian woman with pale skin decorated with tattoos that match her long red hair. She wears only a pair of leather boots, armoured loincloth, a pair of bracers and a shoulder guard. She strides towards the viewer, a sword strapped on her back and a large axe in her hands. ]

[ A full length colour illustration of a pale skined woman with long auburn hair. She has a tall, lithe build that her chain mail armour doesn’t obscure; the way the mail hugs her figure, in conjuction with the design of her fur trimmed knee-length armoured boots creates the definite impression that she comes from the sort of advanced society that employs the retro-futuristic aesthetic so beloved of science fantasy writers. Heavy-duty shoulder guards overlap an armoured collar and chest plate that protects her breasts; steel grey and trimmed with gold, they are matched by her full-length bracers and complimented by her angled guilded belt from which an empty scabbard and a sea grey loincloth hang. She is striding towards the viewer, drawn sword already held in her left hand as her right hand moves towards to bottom half of the grip. ]
