Lord Ganesha by Naryu

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 23:52:28 -0000

Ganesha is one of the most worshiped and diverse deities in the Hindu pantheon. Ganesha is known as the the remover of obstacles, and Guardian of the thresholds. This was commissioned by one of the Yoga Studio Directors shortly before I got let go. I was hesitant to post it as it very much was a working experiment for me. This piece is done entirely in illustrator, and with the gradient mesh tool. now I know its not /perfect/ but this taught me alot about how to use that took for lighting and what not

Chakra Dragon by Naryu

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 20:29:05 -0000

about a month ago I received a Reiki treatment from one of the masters here at work Brian. Reiki for those that don't know is spiritual energy work with areas of the body. During the session I had a wonderful vision of a dragon with its Chakras (energy points in the body) all a glow. The colours and symbols all have meanings which I will list here. 1. Muladhara (red) lower body 2. Swadhisthana (orange) solar plexus 3. Manipura (yellow) navel 4. Anahata (green) heart 5. Vishuddha (blue) throat 6. Ajna (purple) eyebrow or forehead 7. Sahasrara (rainbow) top of head; the "third eye"

Earth Rat by Naryu

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 06:09:15 -0000

Every year I made a Chinese New Year poster (well ok.. i started it last year) but Im making it a new tradition ;3 So here we go, for the new year, The Earth rat! I tried to incorporate as much symbolizers as I knew, I know traditionally the colours in Chinese are red for luck, but "Earth" didn't look right conveyed as such. The gourds tied to his tail are bottle gourds They are symbols of luck, It is thought that the gourd holds magic nectar which is consumed by many Buddhist deities. Sau, the Chinese god of longevity brandishes the gourd at the end of his staff, this is said to contain the elixir of immortality. The symbol in the background is a Shou, another symbol for longevity (often painted onto the dried gourds) and of course wirrten in Chinese is "恭喜发财" (Happy New years) May the year of the Rat bring Prosperity to all!
