Description
"The word chakra is Sanskrit for wheel or disk and signifies one of seven basic energy centers in the body. Each of these centers correlates to major nerve ganglia branching forth from the spinal column. In addition the chakras also correlate to levels of consciousness, archetypal elements, developmental stages of life, colors, sounds, body functions, and much, much more"[link]

This is really beautiful, and the description is an education too! This would be an absolutely gorgeous illustration in a book about meditation. I went to a weekly meditation group earlier this year, and the guy who ran it taught us all about the chakras and their purposes. It was really interesting. That's the first thing that came into my head when I saw this picture

I love how you've made the colors move over the whole piece -- While I'd love to see a bit more contrast between the blacks and the rest of the shading on the foreground, I think that it works well to create that imbalance to show the chakras.
Pretty!

thank you
i think i know what you mean about the contrasts
there were so many colors at play in this and lighting effects.. it was difficult finding the right balance
glad ya like it

^ I can understand -- I think it looks good like this, since it's not really the shell of the body, but the spirit..... Or something. You're welcome, and thank you for showing us!

Very nice, I don't quite like the model you've taken though. Fits this picture best, but it doesn't seem like the best stock that was there. Although the rest is pretty great. So colorful and pretty.. I especially like the sky and flower.

it was difficult finding a stock photo of someone in that position
though this stock artist is one of the best.. i in a way agree with what you're saying
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I went through her stocks, they're pretty good, and she's nice to look at haha, this one just doesn't quite put her at her best though.
I tried your quiz thingy.. it's.. interesting. Not sure I understood too much about it though.
