Artist's Comments

My favorite Hindu goddess. Normally blue or black, but I felt white looked better this time round.

Please zoom in. The beauty is in the detail.



A non-conventional Kali. Kali is supposed to be black. It's to denote the class of people that worship her ... I've been told that in Calcutta she is worship by the lower classes and light skin is considered a trait of the wealthy. And that's why she's suppose to be black or blue. So I've made her deathly pale instead. ;-) (looks scarier anyway).

Thank you. And thank you for adding it to your favourites. ;-) It took some time to do.

Thanks a million, I'll be doing more like this of strange gods and stuff. Maybe Cthulhu or Pazuzu next. It was allot of fun.

Nice work. I'm sure it took some time! Was this done digitally? If so, with what?

Be sweet and gore. Be cute and stressed. Be an agressive kitty-kid.
