I took different angles from the models and heavily manipulated them to fit what I thought would be a more modern day representation of Kali.
Looking at more imagery of Kali, there's many with her standing on her husband however I feel it would be too chaotic within the small rectangle format, it is already a squeeze with all her body parts!
I experimented with hair textures on after effects in attempt to simulate grass but it didn't look even, the darker shades also reduced the legibility of the text; so I used real grass with adjustment layers to blend it better.
For the background I chose an animated sky using turbulent displacement to get this stormy sky effect which I felt was suited to the battleground setting. I chose a deep purple, all the images of Kali had colourful backgrounds, i felt this galactic aesthetic was suited especially as the legend goes she almost destroyed the universe, giving this sense of sheer power.
In accordance with the legend of Kali's battle, she caught the blood of the demon in a bowl, spilling it would mean the demon could multiply so she collected and drank the blood. Incorporating this somewhat educational aspect I plan to animate this blood drop falling from the bowl off the edge of the black background, breaking down the illusion of this world being contained within the card format.
