Safr-e-Jawedan

A variation of the dancer appears on her first book cover. :)

Book name: Safr-e-Jawedan (The never ending journey)
Author: Rafaqat Javed

The cover illustrates the core theme of the book, ‘A woman’s never ending journey to achieve a balance in her (married) life’, using Mehndi (a symbol largely employed to mark the beginning of an eastern marriage) designs to tell the story of the victory and defeat, courage and fear, good and evil that a typical eastern woman experiences in her life.

All earnings from this and future books by the author go to Rashidabad (www.rashidabad.org)

The Dancer

Inspired by Mughal paintings and contemporary depictions of dancers, this character demonstrates organic and hard surface modeling techniques. 

For the sake of demonstration, all assets of the jewelry were modeled individually.

Of course, given the intricate design, displacement/normal maps could also be used to create a very convincing result.

Enjoy!
