Hippolyte's end... by joseph-bk on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Very beautiful pose, you really nailed it.

The spear crunching into her clavicle leaves the great queen no chance.

My preferred fantasy, however is the version where she dies nobly and gloriously in battle, not ignominiously in a hunting accident. Her younger sister, the fair and beautiful Penthesileia, famed for being the most beautiful warrior woman in the world, is crowned queen when her queen sister's corpse is brought back in full regalia from battle lie in state for several days before being given a Royal funeral. Penthesileia immediately seeks to equal and surpass the enormous battle prowess and great victories of the dead Queen, for the greater glory of Amazonia.

Maybe some day you will render some artwork depicting the slain Hippolyte's return from battle, amidst great Amazonia ceremony
