very awesome!!

o_o Amazing details!

wow cool! :o

nice

Wow! Ganesha! I wasn't expecting that :D

does ganesha have 4 arms?

According to the Wiki, he can have between 2 and 20 arms. :]

wow, i like him with 4 arms, so hi can play flute, and muves his other two arms dancing.
great job as always

Awesome!! Style that there is not until now.

Looks great, I am just missing the broken of tusk?

broken off tusk~

Missing how? I see that the one on his right(our left) is shorter, so that detail is in there - is it not supposed to be? I don't know much about Ganesh, really(i.e. only what I've picked up from Digger).

actually~ it is hard to tell. it might as well just be broken, and the other one is hidden.. really my "complaint" is a non-issue~

His tusk is susposed to be broken. The story is, he was a scribe for one of the Gods. As he was writing, his writing instrument broke. Not to miss a word, he reached up and broke off a piece of his tusk. And saved the religious text he was transcribing. Another reason is elephants are very proid of their tusks. Ganesha sacraficed part of his. Which means sometimes we have to give up what we have to live a religious life, such as our vanity.

I know all this, I meant it was hard to tell in THIS picture if it's broken~

anyway, looks like it was corrected :)

oooooh... this is cool!

Wow. THAT is AWESOME. o_________o

Seriously. This is amazing! A true masterpiece!

If I had to pick the God I don't believe it, Ganesha would be high on my list

A fantastic picture, everything one would expect from your amazing talents. Thank you for posting it!

Cheers,

WOW! I love this! You will have prints available sometime I hope?

Stunning. :)

Hopefully Ganesha will remove those obstacles keeping said person from interneting it up.

This is a really nice piece and I love the whole "nature overcoming a sleeping, old artifact" feel with the flowers and mossy hue and all.... Great work as usual!

awesome

20 arms!!!!! :O

dude, I give you 1,000 internets because you have the rat ganesha ganasha rides on in the frame!

It's in the Trunk.

Son magnifiquement merveilleusement étonnante

love it

impressive! real elephants aren't easy to do

This is incredible.

wow you guys nailed that mossy texture, this is really stunning c:

Very very nice.

My god, that's absolutely gorgeous.

A cold and lonely land-how depressing- very detailed drawing-

Ah, a great grey poem. Written in tons rather than words.

very serene

I luv luv luv your coloring!!! You should do a tutorial on your painting methods!

It reminds me of an evil spirit in one of my games. O:
Beautiful Picture though!

Funny, I just read a comic that contained a drawing of Ganesha and some Indian mythology in general...

Beautiful picture, Blotch! I love how everything turned out, from the textures to the form. Even more amazing is that it's on such a small workspace, and yet you manage to cram in such detail. Wonderful job, and keep up the great work!

A most wonderful gift,it is close to Borg perfection.
It too will be assimilated...errr faved

this is sooo beautiful.

Gorgeous. Great composition and I love the subject matter.

This is absolutely beautiful! The colors and details flow together so perfectly!

I hope your friend manages to somehow see this

Well, he'll see it Christmas in person, just not before. ;]

Well that's great! ^_^

I approve of this, Blotch. There's no other words that can express the greatness of this picture.

That is just gorgeous...

You did a fantastic job with the subject matter.

Quite lovely with great colors. Well done.

Wow, very nice once again. I especially love the contrast between the statue(I assume it's a statue anyway) and the flowers.

I love Ganesha's little rat looking up at him :3

now i wanna play persona 3 again... thanks

An excellent depiction of the god who removes all obstacles. The story of Ganesha is one of history's most fluid, depending upon who you ask and what sources they use to tell the tale. All agree, however, on the idea of the little boy who was beheaded, and who was given an elephant's head to replace it. Your depiction offers a more complete, perhaps older, version of the elephant god. Beautiful work -- and yes, I too would be interested in a print, should it become available. It would take a central position in my gallery during the Festival of Ganesha. Well done.

I would love to see a print of this or another ganesha at FC. I'd buy it for sure.

fabulous details

"Hey Apu. When they were handing out religions, you must've been out taking a leak."

"Mr.Simpson. Please do not mock my God, pay for your purchaes, get out and COME AGAIN!"

Lovely work on this piece. The whole scene feels old, wise and aged.

...for lack of a better descriptive sentence. >.>

Simply beautiful! Goes without saying that your art in general is always awesome, but nice to see that talent deviate into something like this too. :) Good stuff.

Is that small circle at the front base of his trunk his "third eye"? The Remover of Obstacles palying the flute...charming! A very sensible god to pray to!

This is quite beautiful. Good job!

Fucking stellar!! ^^

Very beautiful!

Very beautiful detailing! Lovely scenary too.

Whelp, this is an amazing image of Ganesha. Im not sure I understand the flute, though!

That's Really Amazing! Fav ;3

that is rather beautiful a stone "elephant" playing a flute with the dexterity of a true master of the art

I love the beauty in this. Ganesha is my favorite Hindu god. Eh, kinda a fight between Ganesha or Shevah being my favorite. They're both awesome.

I want to do a Ganesha painting too for a relative who has been living in India. I think a paining of the "remover of obstacles" would be a good gift do you know of any good websites to get references?

gorgeous painting. :)

Oouhh, very nice! c:

Simply magnificent
