GAC 11: Gandhi, Freedom Fighter


#1

History.

Born in India around the turn of the last centaury Gandhi was one of the greatest freedom fighters and pacifists. A timid youth, legend has it he used to chant to Ramah, a Hindu god, for courage. A lifetime campaigner for people’s rights Gandhi believed in non-violence and would use peaceful methods like hunger strikes and people power to resolve conflicts. He is probably best known as the figurehead of the Indian revolution against the English occupation in the middle of last centaury.

During the revolution, however, the British had actively incited Muslim separatism that caused great civil unrest. Gandhi was angered by this and stated that if they wanted to continue fighting among them selves they would have to kill him first
which they did. Gandhi’s last words were ‘he ram’, a prayer to Rhama.

The end result of these unresolved tensions was the split of Pakistan from India and their ongoing nuclear standoff.

Concept.

The tree of brinkmanship, watered for decades with unrelenting hostility and violence, has bourn its fruit at last. Its nuclear seeds fall from the sky defiling the sacred land.

Ramah, enraged by the devastation calls forth his most faithful follower, Gandhi. Empowered with a mandate from the gods, and armed with his spiritual sword of truth, Satyagraha, Gandhi is reborn to cleanse the earth of those who would hate and oppress.


No concept image yet but ideas.

Ok an update before bed.
We now have a leg and a foot.
Also just started on a head.


#5

Updated head. I think the eye needs to come foward.


#6

Most of the head done.
Not quite happy with the shape yet.


#7

It´s looking quite nice :slight_smile:
But concidering you´ve got 15000 tris in polybudget you can go much, much higher. And get some details in there aswell.


#8

Yeah, I’ve never modelled with such a budget before so I was planing to model as normal and think of it as ‘blocking in’ then go back and detail. Also not sure how expencive the robes will be.

More head progress.
(I bloody hate ears, any advaice?)


#9

Ears looks rather good. But if they will be more retrose should be better. An face for me is too fat. Ghandi was thin. And 1 more. Search for better photos of him like this http://userpages.umbc.edu/~tvaidy1/picture/ghandi.gif.
Take care
