2 things happened to inspire me to make this image:

1. The talented janedj made this awesome image, and I wanted to try making something similar.
2. I was able to recover Nikki from my hard drive failure disaster.

I've used Nikki before in another soldier-type image, and I thought she'd be best for this one, too. Her athletic build and short haircut seems made for this type of role.

In this one, she's having a smoke. Is it to prepare for a coming battle, or a way to relax without one?

There's a nude version of this one in my Premium Nudes gallery.

Created in Daz Studio 4.10 Pro and Adobe Photoshop CC. I used all or parts of the following resources:

• Genesis 3 Female (included with Daz Studio install)
• FWSA Gillian HD for Victoria 7 (skin textures)
  
• Ammy Hair
• Headwear for G2M/G3M (Beret)
• Army Uniform for G3M (weapon and goggles)
• Z Smokers' Club (cigarette)
• Smoke Brushes (smoke effect)
• Leather Body Suit
• Echo Outfit for G3F (gloves, harness, utility belt, boots)
• Black Widow WS for G3F (thigh holsters and twin Glocks)
• City Ruins Building 01
• Seaside Gate & Patio (Lighting)
