Hi all.
I made a Japanese original Buddha statue named “Zaou Gongen” 蔵王権現.
I used sculpt tools about 50% for making the rock and flame halo object. As for the rest, I used poly mesh.
Cycles 500passes
700passes
700passes. some work with GIMP. something like Japanese ukiyo-e style.
Hope you enjoy!
Very authentic looking.
Looking really great!
Keep up the good work
Really a great artwork here, congratulations!
Congrats! I loved 
very fine work!
2nd one looks best, but overall it’s a solid effort!
Cool! Looks great!
Very well done!
Wonderful piece of art!
Thank you all!
I’m glad to hear your nice words!
The first one looks almost photoreal, wonderful job.
It might be unsuitable, but I shall use this space.
I was asked the following question from Luca on “cgcookie.com”.
You mostly used procedural textures? Your work is truly amazing, how did you achieve that wonderful rock material?

I just like the first one…
Nicely done! Could you upload wireframe version also? That would be awesome!
So few comments-replies on this excellent thread. Weird…
Thanks for your comments,michalis. But I’m very happy to obtain so many comments. Far too much for me.
