This nasty little bug lives in the malariainfested suburbs on Haiti. It feeds on live cowflesh and leave some nasty, long narrow cuts in the flesh that make the cow look like its been slit open with thick razors.
Some of the locals claim it is the product of voodoo and that if you kill it it comes back for you in your dreams, but thats probably not true, right?

Maybe 5 hours or so in the making.
C&C is always welcome.

Just a quick Back Packer concept... PS, some hours work..]]> Sun, 09 Sep 2007 17:31:28 +0000 http://ikuru.cgsociety.org/gallery/526983

This was made for a friend of mine who runs a blog about a anti guru. A really cool guy named UG.Krishnamurti who recently passed away...
I really liked him and he's sayings.

The whole drawing was made in PS working some 3-4 hours or so.
C&C appreciated.

If you like to check him out and find out what he was all about you could always start here...

http://www.ugkrishnamurti.org/

Here is some quotes of he's to get u started!

“Your search for spiritual meaning has made a problem out of living.”

”It is fear that makes you believe that you are living and that you will be dead. ”

“The plain fact is that if you don’t have a problem, you create one. If you don’t have a problem you don’t feel that you are living.”

To be yourself requires extraordinary intelligence. You are blessed with that intelligence; nobody need give it to you; nobody can take it away from you. He who lets that express itself in its own way is a ‘Natural Man’.

“there is no self to discover”

“Thought is something dead”

“Nature is busy creating absolutely unique individuals, where as culture has invented a single mold to which all must conform. It is grotesque.”

“The body does not exist except as a thought.. ..That thought is ‘me’.”

“You love fear. The ending of fear is death, and you don’t want that to happen.”


“I am always emphasizing that somehow the truth has to dawn upon you that there is nothing to understand.”

“Until you have the courage to blast me, all that I am saying, and all gurus, you will remain a cultist…”

“My mission, if there is any, should be, from now on, to debunk every statement I have made. ”

“You are not ready to accept the fact that you have to give up. A complete and total surrender.” It is a state of hopelessness which says that there is no way out… Any movement in any direction, on any dimension, at any level, is taking you away from yourself…”

-UG Krishnamurti]]> Wed, 08 Aug 2007 18:14:28 +0000 http://ikuru.cgsociety.org/gallery/526981

Hey this is a pic I painted for a Chow over at CA.org where we did a tribute to the art of Glen Angus who recently passed away...
I was trying to create a half a sleep girl that find a floating plane in a limbo kind of place...

You can see more of his cool art right here... http://gangus.cgsociety.org/gallery/

Agartha is a legendary city that is said to reside in the Earth's core.
The Magma Swimmer (Lava Swimmer) is much like Agartha considered a myth by sience, but is well documented in Islandic sagas as the Jordur meaning "from the depths of earth". It lives near the core of the planet and feeds on Magma*.
*Magma is a complex high-temperature fluid substance. Temperatures of most magmas are in the range 700°C to 1300°C.
The Magma is then filtered through this creature and turned in to subatomic particles.
This amazing creature said to be older than the earth alone... That is, it developed in the past when the earth was still a star and without a core.]]> Mon, 12 Mar 2007 10:41:46 +0000 http://ikuru.cgsociety.org/gallery/526995

This Puppeteer create living light characters with he's fingertips for a living. Only this day he sort of lost control over them...

This two guys (Ralph and Timmy) travel around in this weird kind of zeppelin like thing.
Collecting illegal rare breeds of firefly creatures for selling on the local market.
They call themselves Sky fishermen.

This was made for CHOW (Character of the week) over at Conceptart.org. The topic was to design two characters who work as a team sky fishing.
It was made all in PS2, first working with a simple shape, then making a outline and finally coloring behind the outline in a different layer.
I made the whole thing in two sessions, maybe some 7 hours or so for the whole thing I guess...

Hope you like it!
Comments and Crits as always appreciated!

"Krishna Vs Monkey King"
Sun Wukong allso known as the The Monkey King was a common monkey to begin with, but he went on a quest to find immortality and so he did, becoming a great Buddhist God eventually.
He went on a journey to India, to retrieve Buddhist sutras. On this journey it so happened that one day he encountered Lord Krishna. It apeard to the Monkey that the Krishna was something of a smartass.
So he decided to teach him a lesson... "You might be Blue, but you bleed red like the rest of us bitch!", is what he said to him.

Soon enough he accomplised his mission and returning safely to China. Where he was granted Buddhahood, for his service and strength.

Some 25-30 hours on this.]]> Tue, 20 Mar 2007 14:29:36 +0000 http://ikuru.cgsociety.org/gallery/478442

Krishna, the Hindu God is seen as the Supreme Person and the highest God, he is the origin of all other incarnations. Lived a life as a heroic warrior and teacher.

Here he is fighting some of he's demons and liberating their essense.
Sri Krishna is often described as the 'Lotus-Eyed One'. Its unfolding petals suggest the expansion of the soul.

I did allmost all of it during the weekend.

No one know exactly how old the Yoni is, and no one really knows where it came from or how it got there. But its there in ancient China, protected by the Shaolin monastery and hidden from the “modern” world.
It is said that the monks gather around it to meditate. Only it’s not Meditation in the sense as we know it.
You see once the Meditator has some calm in his mind, the Yoni Takes over and through telepathy it guides the monk in to a sublime state where he is able to experience a clarity and a connection to everything that has been or will be, a pure state beyond the ego, that leaves the monk with nothing but joy.
Legend has it that the Yoni came from the stars some nine thousand years ago to help the people on earth.
Why the monks chose to keep this divine creature in hiding might be to protect it from "modern science”, but it might also be they simply wanted it for themselves.
The Yoni never moves, it just sits there, communicating with the people surrounding it, day and night. It feeds on cosmic energy’s and does not need human food.

Any comments or crits on this will be highly appreciated!
Thank you.

The Shelly Jelly was rediscovered in 1982 by a team of german marine biologist in the Barrier Reef, just off the coast of Belize in the Caribbean (wich allso happen to be the largest reef in the Western hemisphere and the second largest in the world).

How it got there is unknown, nevertheless scientists claim that it developed the thick crusty armour do defend itself against the reefs and certain mythological predators that allso happen to dwell in this waters.

It is no longer known to “modern science”, but if you ever had the chance to ask someone from the native Arawak-speaking tribes, they would have told you that the Kuba-Walda, (which means "home spirit", or "water gnome", latin, unda gnomus), will sometimes build their house on the jellyfish shellroof, why? So that they can travel while they sleep.

The Shelly is allso one of the oldest creatures in existence and grow to be up to 500 years old.
