Hello everyone!!!

Since the deadline is extended, fortunately I got opportunity to participate.

The context behind this character (Mascot) goes back to my first CG Tantra's meet up, which started with every participant addressed as "Tantriks" (as CG tantra members are called Tantriks) and thats why the first character that came into my mind was a Tantrik. Coincidentally my thought process was same as Ravi da Cool a.k.a rdcanime but his concept was a graphic tantrik...... I have a concept of an old, bald, skinny tantrik with a long beard............. he is old which depicts that he is an Experienced, Intellectual guy, inherited with Wisdom, constantly at work (some one who is "Karma Yogi") who is a vessel of knowledge and is ready to share it.

There's my attempt of giving CG tantra a face!!!

I hope u all like it!!!


This is Pose 1 and some facial expressions.

and a coloured one.

and this one with CG tantra's header..... I think it would look nice if this character is levitating in air over CG Tantra.

I'll be posting some different poses for this character soon.


further on I intent to animate it in such a manner that, that this Old, bald, skinny, guy with a beard levitating in air and meditating, open up his eyes and swings his arm randomly and suddenly a computer appears n he starts working on it.

I hope I make sense..... what do u people say?

Hey,
I do like your mascot! It has an Indian look and feel to it! I liked your idea about the animation much more, 'coz of the sudden feeling of appearance of a computer and typing on it, which is a bit funny! I'd also like to take part in it! I feel it would have a western feel to it, a bit advanced! I hope you'll remember me, and comment on it when it'll be posted!

I liked her idea as a guru of the art, but I found with face of crazy heheheheheheh. Try to do him to represent a master of the art a little comedian, but less crazy. Very good their sketches, but as well as mine, he needs some finishing touches. We go there that it is still in time.
