Jempix, Yama is an amazing character! His costuming, especially his purple-and-gold cummerbund and his armor and weaponry, is excellent. I agree that the bird’s eye view is the most striking render, with the tiger skin looking especially believable in that one.
I have to admit, the face reminds me of Ganon from The Legend of Zelda - but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing!
Would you be so kind as to tell us a little about how you did all of the ornamentation and detailing of his weapons and armor? I’d love to see your techniques for that.
Thanks for sharing with us. Cheers!
