This is a costume that was created for the season 8 finale "Behind Your Eyes". In the episode, Xena and Ares switch places. She becomes the Goddess of War and he becomes mortal, taking up her role as a fighter for the Greater Good.

For Xena's role as Goddess of War, we wanted to create a new look for Xena. One of the main things that we wanted was to give Xena something blue to wear, since, as the Goddess of War, her flash of light is blue and we thought it would fit if her outfit reflected that.

The base image that was used was an image of Xena from "Livia", in the Roman armor that she wore while fighting against Livia. We all really liked that outfit and wanted to incorporate it into Xena's goddess outfit.

An image of Xena's breastplate was incorporated into the outfit, as well as her armbands. They were colored silver and the skirt was colored a dark blue. We added her chakram to her side, since she is always seen with that. And one more touch that we added was that we wanted to have Xena have a part of Ares with her since she is the Goddess of War, it would be fitting to have something from Ares' outfit a part of her. So, we decided to have her wearing Ares' gauntlet. It's been merged with the gauntlet that Xena is wearing in the original image and the stones were colored from red to blue to reflect her outfit.

This costume was created just because we thought it was time that Gabrielle have a new outfit to wear. It is designed to reflect what was described of the outfit that Gabrielle got from her trip to Messene in "Bare Necessities".

The original image is one of Gabrielle in her season 6 red velvet outfit. The skirt is still used here, only it's been colored brown and has a rough texture on it to make it look more like leather and has been combined with Gabrielle's skirt from season 5. The front of her outfit is Brunhilda's outfit from the "The Rheingold" and "The Ring". The part covering her abdomen is actually a part of Xena's outfit, the color changed and some designs put onto it. The sleeves were actually created from the sleeves created for the Eve, Amazon Princess outfit and the trim on them are from Brunhilda's outfit.

The entire outfit has a texture added to it and all of the silver parts were colored a more bronze-ish/gold color. The necklace medallion was taken from a picture of one of the Amazons.

This is a costume that was created for Eve after she becomes Amazon princess in the season 7 episode "Sisterhood". She continues to wear it throughout season 7.

Sleeves were added to the outfit and the front of it was changed to look more like leather. The outfit is basically the same as she wore in season 6, the green outfit, with only a few minor changes.



Creator: Ryan

This is a costume meant to reflect what Eve has become as Queen of the Amazons. We wanted to give her a more rugged Amazon look and show how much she has changed and grown as a character.

There wasn't much that was done to this image. The original image is of Varia and an image of Livia's face has just been superimposed onto Varia's body. It was a great Amazon outfit and thought it would work well for Eve.



Creators: Aurora and Tango

This costume was created for the season 9 premiere episode "Looking Forward". It takes place in the far future, a scifi ep, and thus, her costume reflects that. Xena's head was superimposed onto the body of Andromeda, from the television show Andromeda. Adjustsments were made to make the head and the rest of the body feel like they fit together. The outfit was colored a brownish color and given a floresent purple sheen, as well as a decoration on the chest.

This costume was created for the season 9 premiere episode "Looking Forward". It takes place in the far future, a scifi ep, and thus, his costume must reflects that. Ares' head has been superimposed onto the body of Tyr, from the television show Andromeda. Adjustsments were made to make the head and the rest of the body feel like they fit together. The outfit was colored black and given a chainmail look to it. Sleeves were added, also. Slight adjustments to the proportions of the figure were made by Tango.

This costume was created for the season 9 premiere episode "Looking Forward". It takes place in the far future, a scifi ep, and thus, her costume reflects that. Gabrielle's head was superimposed onto the body of Trance Gemini, from the television show Andromeda. Adjustsments were made to make the head and the rest of the body feel like they fit together. The outfit was colored silver.



Creator: Aurora

This costume was created for the episode "Worlds Apart" in which Xena and Ares are both sucked through a portal and end up in an alternate world where Xena, the Conqueror rules. Ares interacts with the Conqueror and while captive in the Conqueror's palace, she suggests that he wear a different outfit so that he is not mistaken for her world's God of War. The outfit was created from an image of Autolycus in "King Of Assassins" and the white sleeves were colored black for Ares.



Creator: Aurora

This outfit was created for the episode "The Monarch", second part to "Worlds Apart". Still not dressing like the God of War, Ares is in a new leather outfit changed brown to make it different from his regular outfit. The gauntlets and belt came from images of Hercules in "Darkness Rising" but the colors were changed slightly.



Creator: Aurora

This costume was created for the few last episodes of Gabrielle's pregnancy, first seen in "A Crazy Little Thing Called Love". It is made from images of Xena's pregnancy outfit from season 5 but the colors have been changed to brown and red. The pose that Gabrielle is in here is taken from an image from "The Prodigal" when Gabrielle pretends to be pregnant so she can hitch a ride from the wagon driver. The head was placed on the body so that she has a season 9 look rather than season 1.



Creator: Aurora

This costume was created for the episode "A Crazy Little Thing Called Love" where, in the end, Aphrodite goes to live at the farmhouse and gets a new outfit. :-) A simple changing of color from Gabrielle's outfit in Old Ares Had A Farm as well as putting Aphrodite's head on the body of Gabrielle from that episode.



Creator: Ryan

Sabina as a Roman general was a lot of fun to create. It was Ryan's idea to give Sabina Livia's armor with just a slight color change (more bronze) and red cape.



Creator: Aurora

Haimon has served in the Roman army for a while and he needed a new outfit for his appearence in the season 10 premiere, "From the Ashes". His head has been placed on the body of a Roman soldier.



Creator: Aurora and Ryan

With the amount of times that Gabrielle changed outfits on the show, Ryan thought it would be a good idea to come up with a new outfit for Gabrielle. He suggested something green and this is what I came up with. It's basically Najara's outfit with the colors changed. I love how it turned out. She got this outfit while she was in Petra in "Clean Slate"--it's a nice vibrant color. Ryan made an image with Gabrielle holding her son, wearing this new outfit, which you will see in a later episode.



Creator: Ryan

Eve is a much darker character in the future of "Darker Times" so her costume needed to reflect that. Made from a random image of a woman in a gladiator costume, this works well for a new look for Eve to wear in the future.



Creator: Ryan

In the season 10 episode,"Darker Times", we wanted to give many of the characters new costumes to reflect the change in the times and in their characters in this darker future. So, Ryan created a great Artemis, Queen of the Gods, look; black outfit with silver. She looks tough.



Creator: Aurora

The outfit created for Xena in "Darker Times". Used an image from "The God You Know" (I loved her outfit) and changed the colors and gave her chainmail. In this darker future, I felt that she (and Ares, as you will see next) needed more protection when in battle. The metal armor and chainmail worked well for that.



Creator: Aurora

I created Ares' outfit from an image of a soldier, made the armor black and silver and made him look tough. He's also got longer hair to reflect how he's changed in the episode.



Creator: Aurora

This is one of my all-time favorite costumes I've made. It's an adult Klymene for "The Dark Ages", created from an image of Gabrielle in her Amazon outfit from "Hooves and Harlots". The colors have been changed and the face of Adult Klymene seems to fit so well onto that body.



Creator: Aurora

Sabina needed to have a empress outfit for her appearences as the Empress of Rome in "The Dark Ages".



Creator: Aurora

When Ares went off on his own to lead his army in "The Power and the Glory", he got a new set of armor.

I have created quite a few photo manipulations for various episodes. So, I thought I would create a page on this site where all of the photo manips (at least the main ones) are posted. I've also decided to make them look "official" with the Xena Warrior Princess Shipper Seasons logo in the corner. :-) Click for a larger view of the images.

I thought it would be fun to have a section for wallpapers that centered around themes specific to the Shipper Seasons. I will continue to add more as I make them. If you have a request of theme/idea that you'd like to see me make or if you have wallpaper creations of your own, please drop us a line letting us know you'd like to contribute and we'll go from there. Thanks!

All images are 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 and open up in a new window. Each one has a description and what scene/theme they are.

Well, because of the new year, I was inspired to create a calendar for 2007 using characters/themes from the Shipper Seasons.

If you want, you can download the high resolution file for each month (compressed into a zip file) and print them out. Or, you can view them on the computer only. Whatever you would like to do. Each calendar month is 7.5in. x 9.377in.
