Description

Great !!! My 1st deviation got posted.

Namahstutey is a Greeting, to cordially welcome an advent !
I made this one on 2001 (probably on 6 or 7th May), night before the person in portrait's Birth Day (and was used for holding an anniversary ceremony next day). I used Chinese Ink for the main character, & water color for the BG.

(Actually this picture is a result of a lot of experiments, cross-hatching with Ink, Ink-Pencil Blend, A BG to match badly with theme of nationality (yellow in place of white to reflect greed, a white halo around the character, bloody-red instead of saffron etc.) & cross-hatch blending with brush {heck of a thing to screw the whole thing up}, and a bit working with Emotion of the character too)

Do you know the guy in Picture?
Well, you should, at least - He was a Genius & Polymath of late 19th & early 20th Century. Here you can get some info about him.

I wanted him to look depressed. Depressed about the current breed of artists the land producing, what also made One like him. Depressed also about the socio-econo-political issues of nation - what would have He done If was Alive???


I wanted to debut my album with this pic & here it is. I hope not to disappoint you very much; anyways, "No Refunds".
One last word, I'm an Open Source evangelist but as for an Art content, I will Like to use 'Creative Commons' License with ALL MY DEVIATIONS.
