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.
Made from vision, not from a model. The icon-maker was to enter meditation and see the deity described in its dhyāna verse before carving. As Coomaraswamy renders a verse of the Śukranīti, the imager must be "expert in vision… certainly not in the presence of a model" can the work be done. The brief is a poem, and the studio is the mind. (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.
