Krishna



I don't know what it is,
That makes me feel like this,
I don't know who you are,
But you must be some kind of superstar,
Coz you got all eyes on you no matter where you are......

(Song: Superstar; Artist: Jamelia)

This one is my all time favourite.

Firstly, the painting was not 'inspired' from any source. When I was fiddling with Adobe in the initial days, I drew this picture and it came out so nicely.


And secondly, the colours of this painting are so vibrant and there's an overall harmony.

Krishna is the perfect idol for any guy - charming & naughty to enthrall girls and at the same time heroic and wise to put an end to injustice and guide the world with his Bhagavath Gita - in short a man with the perfect personal & work life!

What I like about the picture is the dreamy feel it gives - the misty, wavy colour pattern. I had tried to replicate the colours of a peacock feather - plenty of green with lots of 'colour burning' with blue. Block patterns have been added to give the impression of the 'eye' of the feather. A floodlight effect was later added to give that halo and mystic, silhouette effect.
