Surely this is one of the Mahavidyas, the great Hindu Tantric goddesses that embrace the Unholy and make it Holy, destroying all constraints and expectations that society places upon us and frees us of our confining Ego.

Awesome, to me the figure appears as if it is floating on a cusion of its own flowing hair.

cool thats a good one.forgive my lack of knowledge but may i ask why she is called the "Corpse" goddess

:-) Lisa Coleman replies: "Nothing to forgive. I think her mottled blue and grey flesh looks something like a corpse. Also, she reminded me of the Mahavidyas, ten Tantric Hindu/Buddhist goddesses associated with everything dirty and taboo, and that specifically involved corpses."

What a cool pose! I love Indian mythology too, and you did an excellent job with the coloring too.

Ooh, what gorgeous form... all those lines and whatnot. Really neat concept, and beautifully done.

I think tat you got the pose perfectly. There is something very dream-sequence about this one (but story dream sequence, not film, so don't worry).
