Kali

Kali, from Hindu mythology.
I drew this after reading some Hindu stories from this cool book my dad picked up at his work. It is part of a small series that goes into the different myths/fairy tales of different cultures.

Anyway, Kali is actually the goddess Parvati. She became the being Kali after an Asura by the name of Raktavira began to kill her devoted. She only wears a garland of skulls and a girdle of hands into battle; everything else it needless. She loves battle and gets drunk off of blood.
The story is pretty hard-core. I got inspired to do this the morning after.


Stupid scanner had to cut off her toes, though...
