A draw for Myth Pantheons game from Alderac group :)
I done this pic at the beginning of the year, when I was spending a time on the hospital :D was a bit uncomfortable to draw and paint with all the needles on my right arm and hand (the arm I use to paint) I asked to the doctors to use my left arm, but was used for arround a month and a half, so they decided to use my right arm XD was waaaay uncomfortable but was fun in the end.

Ganesha (Sanskrit: गणेश; IAST: Gaṇeśa; About this sound listen (help·info)), also spelled Ganesa or Ganesh and also known as Ganapati, Vinayaka, and Pillaiyar, is one of the best-known and most widely worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon. His image is found throughout India. Hindu sects worship him regardless of affiliations. Devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains, Buddhists, and beyond India.

Although he is known by many other attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify. Ganesha is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles and more generally as Lord of Beginnings and Lord of Obstacles (Vighnesha, Vighneshvara), patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom. He is honoured at the beginning of rituals and ceremonies and invoked as Patron of Letters during writing sessions. Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits and explain his distinct iconography.

Ganesha emerged a distinct deity in clearly recognizable form in the 4th and 5th centuries CE, during the Gupta Period, although he inherited traits from Vedic and pre-Vedic precursors. His popularity rose quickly, and he was formally included among the five primary deities of Smartism (a Hindu denomination) in the 9th century.

According to Kundalini yoga, Ganesha resides in the first chakra, called Muladhara (mūlādhāra). Mula means "original, main"; adhara means "base, foundation". The muladhara chakra is the principle on which the manifestation or outward expansion of primordial Divine Force rests.

This is one of my favorites,
but Oh, Oh... WIKI CRITISCISM!!!!

In Hinduism, he's supposed to be the fat one that sits eating sweets on his pet rat ( I know, it's ridiculous but it's the truth...)

Anyway, I really love it! Why don't you do more from Hinduism? It's perfect for you because thee are loads of epic battles and monsters and gods and heroes!!!!

I thought he had a big belly, but this version of Ganesha just looks more badass in my opinion!
