Description
and this is the complete story :When the demon Kala Rahu stole the water of immortality from the gods, the sun and the moon saw him. When they told Vishnu, he sent a lightning bolt to cut off Kala Rahu's head. Kala Rahu was just about to drink the elixir when he was cut in two. He had the water in his mouth. So his head became immortal and his body died. Now he chases the sun and the moon, and when he catches them he eats them. But he has no body and when he swallows, they just come out again and get away. The Balinese bang pots and pans during a solar eclipse to frighten Kala Rahu.

Dear friend, please, try again the link. It's working.
Regarding your name, is it "I Made Marthana Yusa" as you wrote? I'm a bit elemental and I don't think I got you right.

I think it can be more interesting if this Kala Rahu suggested as a Daily Deviation

Well, for sure its merits qualify as such. Tell me, how do I propose it as such? I'm not well acquainted with the site features. I don't see any button to do it on the picture page. Please, tell me and I'll follow the steps.

Believe it or not, I see this piece with a feeling of longing. Kala Rahu was one of my favorite childhood story.. Kept me awake for so many nights especially whenever an eclipse going to happen. Only I thought it was Antasena who decapitated him.

oooh the pics are great! the blue is really good choice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
glad you like it
why did you say blue as the best choice?
I choose blue to appropriate it with the theme and to create "dark" feels but not by black. Blue represents mystique and cold aura..at this circumstances, i choose blue that close to green.Green has a mystique feels too.
thanks for the compliment by the way.Really appreciate it

well like you say, blue has a mistical kinda approach.... Like in games, books and so on, smoke and fog is often described to have a blue tinge to it... makes it sound eerie. No problem. I'm glad I'm of some use, your work is great!

Wow, that's a really nice piece. I love the colors and the composition. It looks like the demon is surrounding the moon in the middle yet it still can't attack it.
You conveyed the story very successfully, and the colors are of course excellent.

I'm glad you have a respect for mythology and folklore. Do you by chance happen to be an anthropologist/folklorist/artist/whatever the fuck labels people apply, in academia or are you just free spirited and have an incessant joy of learning?

I'm a Balinese and I'm damn proud of it 
I made the other version of Kala Rahu. I think my character development were too far away from the traditional_original concept image of it 
I graduated from Art and Design institute, it did bring me courage to learn many aspect relating of art and design.
And I say yes about incessant joy of learning
