Wish I could read this!

SeaDragonST Featured By Owner Nov 12, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Well, I can't read it well either. But this is the prayer and chant for Sri Ananta Sesha. Which is probably the 2nd most important god in vaisnavism. (Hindu)

jubjubjedi Featured By Owner Nov 13, 2013

Fascinating, thanks for letting me know! I am quite fascinated by Hindu mythology...

Love the idea of the armored face in the middle.

jubjubjedi Featured By Owner Jul 26, 2012

Thanks! Now I have to figure out how to level up this guy x4... O_O'

Ito-Saith-Webb Featured By Owner Jul 26, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

What if the face split down the middle vertically and opened up to reveal. . . something, inside.

jubjubjedi Featured By Owner Aug 1, 2012

That's possible, I was playing around with the idea of making the face more predominant for sure!

jewelbird Featured By Owner Jul 8, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Very good work! Are those scales in the water?

jubjubjedi Featured By Owner Jul 9, 2012

LOL... nah, they were suppose to be schools of fish, but no way in hell was I going to paint that... PHOTOSHOP FISH BRUSH FTW!!

jewelbird Featured By Owner Jul 9, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Haha, then that is one gigantic creature! X'D
But aw yeah, PHOTOSHOP FISH BRUSH FTW!
Is the 'fish brush' a custom brush, by any chance? ^_^

jubjubjedi Featured By Owner Jul 9, 2012

Yeah, it's a custom brush but I didn't create it... I found it free on the internet after a search! It's not really hard to make though, I was just being lazy LOL...

jewelbird Featured By Owner Jul 9, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Oh alright! ^_^ Didn't know if you made it or if you found it. Because I am sure it isn't a pre-set. (I have PS CS5 myself.)
Thanks for answering my questions, though! C:
