Episode 2 - Guru Harigobind Ji

In this video, I sketch out Guru Harigobind Sahib in the Bir Asan (warrior pose).




Guru Harigobind Sahib ji is the sixth guru who succeeded his father Guru Arjun Dev ji.After the martyrdom of his father, he picked up the sword and armed his sikhs with the tools and knowledge in order to defend themselves.

He did not want sikhs to go through the torture that his father Guru Arjun Dev ji went through.

Guru Sahib was the father of the seventh Guru Hari Rai ji and ninth Guru Tegh Bahadur ji, who put down the sword to immerse himself in devotional worship.

Guru Sahib's grandson Guru Gobind Singh ji went through the same phase as his grandfather. His father, Guru Tegh Bahadur ji was martyred by the Mughals and so he too picked up the sword.

Futuristic Yetis

Yetis are furry creatures. So it creates a really nice play of materials, you have fur from the yeti, their tusks and cloth that are organic as opposed to the armour which is metal, rubber and other synthetics.

I'm happy with how these turned out. Next I want to explore weapons, female yetis and manes. I imagine the males have lion-like manes with different colours, shapes and sizes.
