Making of yoga pose #4

Alrighty, firstly, what's yoga pose #4?

Yoga pose artwork #4 is a variation on eka pada rajakapotasana, or one-legged king pigeon pose.

Eka - one
Pada - foot/leg
Raja - king
Kapota - pigeon
Asana - Pose/posture

Final snapshot:

This artwork was started before the new replay feature was introduced, so the first two intermin snapshots don't have have a movie replay. It's a little unfortunate, because most of the work happened before the first snapshot.

I didn't intend to release this artwork for another couple of weeks at least, even though it was completed. I won't go into details but the short of it is that I had to take a snapshot before I really wanted to and because the snapshot was taken, I decided not to wait and just add it in the public gallery.

I'll try to make this a quick description.

I spent about 3 hours and pushed about 2500-3000 tiles (I move tiles more than once) to get to the stage of the first snapshot.

Same old ran out of tiles of a particular colour problem, that's why there are interim snapshots. This is the second one:

Still battling with tiles colours and colour hunting:

This third interim snapshot has the movie replay feature. For me, the two most interesting aspects of the first movie replay of this artwork are:

1) my obsession with the damn hands
2) the evolution of a hair style

So, feeding my obsession with getting the hands to look like hands, I wanted some white tiles to work with. This means more colour hunting and we end up with this:

And very quickly I found out I would need another round of colour hunting for white tiles since the first one didn't result in many usable white tiles.

The finished product:

And just for a bit of fun, here's my attempt at the pose:

I used this photo as a reference for the hands.
