Final Submission

My piece is titled Indra's Vajra.
Little backstory. Indra is the god of thunder and rain and the ruler of the heaven realm (Swarg Lok) in Hindu mythology, comparable to Thor and Zues. A comparable figure by the name of Vajrapani was later on portrayed in Buddhism as the Buddha's guardian. This being's weapon "Vajra" is capable of producing thunder.

This idea served as the foundation for my concept, in which I attempted to portray Indra's weapon (Vajra), which was lost over time but was secretly kept and prayed for by a sect of tantric monks.

I had to make some adjustments to my initial plan as I worked on it. There were other reasons for that, including schedule conflicts, among other things.
With any luck, this change won't interfere with my goals.

I am not very comfortable in using zbrush for sclupting so i will try to give most of the details in the texturing stage. I am planning 2 more props so will be adding its progression once this one is completed.

Block Out Stage.
Currently, I'm conceptualizing my idea. Many things are on my mind. I'm hoping I'm not going too far and that I'll finish it on time.

My idea is to create an ancient prayer alter-style cabinet, covered in traditional art and wood carvings hiding inside an enigmatic relic.

The challenge's concept truly appealed to me. It motivates me to produce mythical and supernatural art that inspires others. Living in the foothills of the Himalayas, I am deeply influenced by the various religious customs, tales, and traditions that exist there. My goal is to produce mystical and fascinating art. It will draw inspiration from Hindu and Tibetan traditions.
