Description Durga:

In my wanderings around the web, doing brief research on manticores, I came across an image of Durga. The Hindu goddess is called on to battle Mahishashur, a powerful demon. Inspiration struck.

She is depicted with a variety of weapons. The images show either eight or ten arms. Illustrated seated on either a tiger or lion.

Her hands don't really grasp the weapons, it takes a bit tedious effort to pose the hands. I haven't collected all the weapons in scene yet, hence the WIP.

No offense is meant for those of Hindu faith.

Looks like an interesting show.


Praise be to the Prince of Peace.

a few notes:

1: Good WIP so far, especially the tiger (i could use one)

2: dunno if all 8 arms would be able to be positioned properly, or you could try having the other six appear from the back

3: Look up Schlabler's free stuff for hand poses.

1: Thanks.

2: I haven't really tried to pose her arms yet, other than to make the figure. The arms are in a default pose. I could try an alternating zig-zag pattern, but all the images that I viewed of Durga have her arms stacked one on top of the other.

3: I'll check it out.

well when doing multi-arm pics, partial poses were a godsend, except for using A3/V3 figures, then they became a semi-godsend
