The legend of Ram











Jai Sri Ram!
So finally after a really long spell of silence, I have some work on this blog.
This is a WIP(work in Progress) of an illustration of Sri Ram that i'm currently working on.
the first image is just a test render i was playin around with.
For those new to Indian mythology, Sri Ram is the warrior hero of the Indian epic , "Ramayana".
He is also deeply revered as a God by Hindus all over the world.
I'm hoping to finish this illustration sometime this month. Still a lot to do, and the process only gets slower when the subject is so close to heart!
the shader for the zbrush screenshots are from Arran Lewis and the test render shader is from Marc Mordelet. A big thanks to both of them!
P.s. In other news...a change of job and city is on the cards!:)

WOW bro it's really awesome. I like the muscles and the pose of Shri Ram.

Can't wait to see the full update.

And where is your tutorial of Merman Elite?

Woohooo!:) Awesome-ness! I love the way the age of the character blends in so beautifully with the overall physique... he looks believably fit and yet middle-aged!:) Kudos!:)

He looks good and work is wonderful. I am assuming you need to work on his crown and eyes.

Congratulations on your way for a new job and city :)
