Description

I think that it's time to give you a sneak preview on our new girl, Rani ("Queen"), that we are about to finish. Encouraged by several requests of customers that bought our Sajjan for Miki 2 we decided to create another indian character, this time for V4. Although the market already contains lots of V4-textures and characters we think that there may be interest in something different. I have to apologize for the title - it came to my mind when the image was already done and those that have a fundemental knowlege of hiduism will find countless mistakes in the movement of the figure here - I think that in fact nothing is correct, starting from the lifted leg and not ending with the movement of the hands. Anyway, this description of Nataraja made me choose the title: Nataraja (The King of Dance) is the dancing posture of the Hindu god Shiva, who performs his divine dance as a part of his activities of creation and destruction. Technical: The hair is the "All Back Style", a free hairprop by Kozaburo. All clothes are from the Jinn set by powerrage (thank you so much!!), I had a lot of fun with dialing those sleeve-morphs until they seem to fly into the camera ;o) Some postwork to fix the one or other pokethrough and to mix the golden makeup (not very visible here because of the light) with the Tilaka. ...oh, and of course for adding the ornaments to the background. They're made from brushes available at obsidiandawn.com!

Beautiful detailed work! Always excellent character work. I look forward to getting your new character too, it is a great idea to do a V4 Sanjan type character.

Fantastic colorful image! She looks wonderful in her exotic clothes. You may be right about the mistakes in her pose and movement, I'm not an expert, but I like what you did!
