Dom's Sketchbook

**dominicqwek** · 07-14-12

Hey all, here's my latest work. Thanks for looking.

A Rakshasa demon manifested in a human body. Rakshasas, also known as man-eaters, are a race of mythological entities based in Hindu and Buddhist religion. Foul, evil creatures with an insatiable hunger for human flesh, they are notorious for possessing human beings. They are often depicted as fierce and primal looking, with two fangs protruding from the top of their mouth, having sharp claw-like fingernails, and growling like beasts. Source: Wikipedia

Design notes: I wanted to show the relationship between the Rakshasa demon and a human being, and what happens when a manifestation occurs. I kept majority of the creature rooted in human anatomy and focused more cannibalistic elements on his mouth and areas around it.

Zbrush, Keyshot, Photoshop.

Ok first of all let me congratulate you on one Twistedly Awesomely Super Duper sculpt. It kinda looks like The Thing and Venom had a baby, but in a good way. I love it !!! on a seperate note though, sorry it does not look like a traditional rakshasa, trust me I grew up on this Indian folklore Sh*t , however I do respect your artistic interpretation.

These dudes have been portrayed in the Indian media being more Ogreish, with Big moustashes, and fangs and black skin. They also wear jewelery and are generally pimped out.

Awesome! I'm really loving it all. A bit of constructive criticism, if you made the teeth separate and apply a different material to them it would take it a notch higher.
