Classical Indian image-makers used a unit taken from the figure itself: the tāla, one face-length, divided into twelve fingers. Gods, goddesses, humans and spirits each have their own count, so proportion itself says what order of being you are looking at. Egypt had a squared grid and Greece had Polykleitos' canon, each a sibling workshop with its own measure. Our remakes keep each scene's canon and attributes and let the peoples vary. Here is the next batch.
Likeness to the type. The six limbs of painting include pramāṇa (measure), bhāva (feeling) and sādṛśya (likeness). In a sacred image, likeness means fidelity to the canonical type, not to a sitter. That is why a deity's weapon, gesture, mount and headdress are fixed by the texts: the attributes carry the identity. The Bṛhat Saṃhitā (6th c.) sets Yama on a buffalo with a club and puts a noose in Varuṇa's hand. (source)
We are testing these features and looking to develop them. This is Hathor's alpha work, made on our own servers — the images and videos she makes next are expected to be much better and more accurate. Tell us what works and what doesn't: every video page has 👍/👎, comments and timestamped notes.
