HMC #12: Colossus: Shiva

[killay]

Still waiting :p

I'm looking forward to the staff she is holding

[groutcho]

it's great ! Do you plan to set the pose in the low poly model, then subdivide it and add detail ? Or do you plan to fully model it and then pose it ? It could help for my own colossus, actually :)

that's close to my home. I'll be nit picking a lot! Excellent choice.

Its Lord Shiva... male NOT female... check out the wikipedia link in the beginning!

here is a very slow update with one day of work. its quite hard to work at the time of holidays so i guess i'll be updating this after i come back from vacations.
This is the 2nd subdivision level.

groutcho: i model the very basic lowpoly model then take it in mudbox, set the topological axis and then do body proportional changes in lowest subdivision. then as i further subdivide the mesh, i sculpt according to the resolution getting into more detail. its important to work on the form and shape before you get into details.

DDS: why not post some pictures of it hehe! i'm missing references for its back and side so they'll be helpful or i'll have to model it from my imaginaion :)

Steve Zissou: thanks for correcting. yes Lord Shiva is suppose to be Male.

Comments are welcome...

Nice to see one of the Indian Gods. That too Siva! Wow! Good luck with it.

Also you should model him with a well-built body (not overly-built though). I mean pull his stomach in, give slight definition of abs, define his chest, arms and all that. Siva wears his hair as a tuft or lock. So I'm so excited to see that. :bounce: Also, he wears an anklet on one of his legs. He wears a tiger skin around his waist, drapes the elephant skin over his shoulder. His skin is kind of violetish, and has a bluish neck. He has a snake coiling his neck and the lock of his hair. If possible you could also picture a stream of water flowing out of the tip of his hairlock - which is River Gangâ (Ganges).

Man, after seeing this, I remembered of a beautiful pose of Siva which suits this challenge soooo. It's called urdhva tandava (a dance where his leg is lifted upwards).
Here's the link to it:

If you can pose this model to the above pose, it'd look so awesome...

Good luck again...
