"Armed with sword, spear, club, discus, conch , bow, arrows, slings and iron mace, you are terrible( and at the same time) you are pleasing, yea more pleasing than all the pleasing things and exceedingly beautiful."
(Devimahatmyam, 78-81)

Thats from an hinduistic sacred text..

Your image reminds me of Indian traditional art showing Kali. At the same time it is different.

This is my "Kali feeling":

I wasn't able to take a photograph of the whole painting because it was across a wall of a small room.. and I couldn't step back further.

What kind of battles are you fighting? Sounds interesting

Saw this piece in *thefantasim 's fav's. An amazing and very unique representation of Kali... She is normally seen in dark shades but with these brighter colours you have created more abstract and scary rendition of this goddess.

I did a couple of Warhammer style fantasy hashes (complete with lightning, corpse mounds & a fifty foot woman) beforehand, which I decided *not* to upload

But thankyou

The colouration was largely just because of my excitement at finding clothes dyes in the cupboard

Or thus is my understading of hindu theology

I'm very happy you like it

It's been a while since I saw something from you...

Was this done on a t-shirt? Would look great running around in this.

PinkPistols In reply to olieviya [2005-05-05 10:15:25 +0000 UTC]

I have made at least three updates in the past year, so hush you lip!

I'm sadful to say it's not a t-shirt...although that could be rectified with !IMAGE MAKER! Two fifty, broad canvas, strange magic gel, makes t-shirts out of ANY 2D image......wahey!

You would look great *annihilating your enemies* in this! Of course you always look great running around...

I meant more accidentally running into super-mansize teddy bears. But I am willing to take your word for it that you are a cool-looking sweater.

OOh Kali - my favorite multiarmed murderous goddess

"For ear-rings, she has two dead bodies, and a necklace of skulls"

She is a freakish goddess, I can barely claim to understand the worship, but she puts more wind in my sails than the idea of Jesus or worse a puny Israfeel for a destruction angel...

I have done a couple of other pictures of Kali, and Durga (her head-mother, precursive state, less terrifying counterpart) but I don't think they're much cop.

One looks like Raquel Welsh though

I once started to do a mural of Kali in my basement - I thought it too over the top and switched to Ganesh. The elephant headed god is soooo much less over the top for a basement in Oglesby, IL

Oh well. I moved, Ganesh got covered with a thick coat of off white eggshell, and life goes on

After a coating of eggshell, life is reborn. Thanks to Brahman.
