Coloured version:
Drawing:
My own version of the hindu god(dess) Shiva the Destroyer. Not too much like the original, but they have some things in common. Her name was Rudra at first, meaning "the howler"/"the horrible", but then it was changed to Shiv(a), meaning "the merciful".
Took me about 2-3 hours to draw & colour. Colouring with Photoshop 7.
(The sign on her forehead represents "third eye", and the other mark on her belt is the sign from the staff of the messenger (which is from greek mythology), which represents her as the messenger of destruction.)
