Comment:
Damodara the Unbreakable, a rat spirit known for his discipline in the art of meditation and countless years of conditioning his body to endure extreme modification.

Among the thousands of rats living within the great walls of the holy temple of Karni Mata, Damodara resides as both a servant to the goddess and a protector of the creatures that live therein. True form unseen by humans, he appears to be just another of the many rodents living in the temple, this guise enabling him to move about without hinderence. The majority of his time is spent going through various mantras in meditation, completely in a trance allowing him to connect to his inner most spiritual center. It is through these states of meditation that he achieved the ability to constrict his body into its current state, proving that the mind and body can achieve anything through power of spirit.

As I mentioned on the concept sketches of Damodara, I wanted to do something with the sketch of him you see here. I bumped the original sketch up to 200dpi, so this is actually a lot larger than what I have posted. I might make prints of it, but we'll see. I didn't want to make the image super flashy with full shading and whatnot, I wanted it to be simple but to have the look of being painted on stone or old parchment. The color of his clothing is what I wanted to stand out most, and I went for a warm palette. Of course, I couldn't resist putting in some cooler accents which are in the peacock feathers as well as scattered through his entire outfit. His eyes also mimick the coloration of the peacock feather with the dark greens, blues, and purples banded together. I really love the way this turned out even for being so simple. <3

Wow! Seeing him just takes my breath right out, I can so imagine how that constriction must feel. But it is even more impressive how comfortable he is with it and how he has practiced something that has long fascinated me in which people put their minds in a state of feeling no pain. I have longed to learn that for years. I really like the colouring on this piece, it is so perfect for it. The colours themselves work quite well too. I love this character!

P.S. I know you offered to do something for free but seriously, as soon as I can I really want to do a paid commission from you of one of my humantypes if possible....

I have no idea how you do this. I remember watching you draw while i was visiting lei and was completely taken aback. Your characters are always so unique. And heres another sexy amazement.

Thank you~

I don't know how I do it most of the time either. XD Usually things don't turn out the way I want them to.
