SciFi and Fantasy Art: Naga

The nagas were a ancient race from Indian mythology, of men and women who could transform into snakes. I liked the idea, so here's my rendition of one: a sinuous seductress with glowing yellow eyes and a few scales (her skirt is supposed to be shifting into scales, but I don't know if I made that obvious enough). I did this in chalk pastel and colored pencils.

I really like this picture, she's beutiful! You have great talent with pastels. I think the scales are good, they made me think she's got at snakes tail instead of legs. Lovely pic, your pictures made me inspired to go pick up my own pastels, it's been to long since I used them....
Keep up the good work!

This is beautiful, a really unique interpretation of the Naga myth. I love the effect of her skirt becoming scales. This is also one of the few naga pictures in the woods that actually features a woman of Indian decent, as par with the original myths. Great job, this is a really beautiful piece.

This is beautiful. Her pose is sensual and snakelike without being obvious, and her eyes are absolutely incredible. They almost seem to glow. The details - her earrings, her nose ring and the subtle scales on her skirt really make this pic something special. And, like A.P said, it is certainly refreshing to see a Naga that fits with authentic mythology.

You did a great job with shifting the skirt into scales. I also love the eyes.

The eyes are incredibly fascinating. Great work on the tail-dress, too. I love your pastels work.
