'The Celestial Battle' has its roots in Indian legend - the story of the Goddess Kali waging war on the demon world to liberate the human race from the evil and chaos that was ravaging the world.

The final image is still an ongoing process - the Goddess will dictate what the final sketch will be like!

[krizzik]

nice composition...

i think her head needs to be bigger :)

Yeah, this is coming along great but the head does seem a bit small compared to the rest of the body. Watch out for that as you finish this piece

[paulthomas]

thank you for the tip.

HI

Paul the concept is good

But it does not look like Kali,The sketch is completely westernized from the anatomy and the environmental wise.

still improving the sketch.


its going great

[Imriela]

Interesting incarnation of Kaali you've got there. Turning the hands hanging from her belt into a skirt was definately a unique move. There's going to be blood flinging everywhere, right? Because where there's Kaali there's lots of blood.

[Ducklator]

hey, great idea, I like it a lot... I'll wait for new updates.. keep it up!:thumbsup:

[Screenblind]

*gulp*

*sigh*

yup - She remind me of my ex-wife alright.

[authentic]

Even I'm not fond of everything in the design (specialy the arms around the girl), you'll achieve to have a great movement in your picture.:thumbsup:

Hi Paul

Wise decision to crop the image tightly;

Now this what I call

"Spectacular".

I love it

Cheers:)

that's evil looking. i love it.


great motion and expression. my only crit is thta you might want to think about bringing the canvas downa bit to expose more of the figures that she is to do battle with.

[walrus]

Nice image so far. Very intense and striking. The lighting and colors are terrific.

I agree with Slav about bringing the canvas down. Up would be good too, so that her weapon has some space to breathe around it.

The head in her hand is difficult to read, with dark hair on a dark background. That might be a good area to have some more red, right behind hid head.

And speaking of heads, hers feels a bit small to me, compared to the rest of her anatomy. Especially as it's the part of her the most forward.

Anyhow, good luck with it!

[paulthomas]
