WIP - Ethnique/Folk/Lakshmi

[system]

I participate in the contest “Ethnique”. I chose the character of the Indian goddess Lakshmi.

Lakshmi - is the Hindu goddess of wealth, prosperity, light, wisdom, fortune, fertility, generosity and courage; and the embodiment of beauty, grace and charm. Representations of Lakshmi are also found in Jain monuments. Mahalakshmi brings good luck to her devotees. She is believed to protect her devotees from all kinds of misery and money-related sorrows.

Its great that you chose to do lakshmi, but lying down on a lotus flower is not actually representative of the character of lakshmi…it kind her makes her look like an ordinary girl lazing about unlike a benign goddess…i would suggest that you do a lotus pose (padmasana) that is sitting with your legs crossfolded or standing on the lotus…or keeping one leg folded and the other touching the ground.
here are some more refs:

Modeling of the characters I’m doing for the first time, I do the architecture’s visualizations at work. Therefore, make mistakes and learn by them. First re-topology did not succeed. For the second sketch I painted in a grid of polygons and then made a new re-topology.

to be continued…
