Aghora Finished

After sculpting I spend approximately 20 hours painting the model. I tried playing w cast light and I think it worked very well although I had a hard time painting the jet of flame.

Aghora Concept

Next up is a personal piece. A year ago I read a comic by the author Alejandro Jodorowsky called The Metabaron http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabarons and I was instantly sold (I suggest you give it a read)  I decided to make one of the characters as a tribute, but s it is a series in 8 parts concerning a long line of warriors, I had a lot to choose between.

I finally decided to sculpt Aghora, the mother/father of the final metabaron. There is a panel where she is giving birth while fighting off an army of clones. Her solution is to escape by turning her sword into a rocket. (I told you its good)
