I started off by drawing a line to try and create equal proportions of the body on both sides of the line. Once i started that i looked at reference pictures to get all his mechanical body accessories down which also helped in my symmetry. I also added cracking or a shattering effect to his body which also involved the shards having to fit like a puzzle together if they were placed together. I outlined the main part of his body darker than the other six arms to emphasize his true body instead of his spiritual form. I also gave him colors that a robot would have, metallic colors of course such as grey and gold with hints of blue for his lights. I darkened the coloring by the outlines to give him a shine and rounded effect. His orbs were also colored to become rounded looking and share the same color palette as his Lotus flower which i added symmetry to the petals to make it balance directly behind him.
This character is a peacemaker, so I figured that if he died his teaching would pass to his disciples. However if his disciples began to ignore and forget his teachings, his rememberance would begin to shatter and fade away over time as he is lost within the thoughts of war instead of peace.
If i could change anything I would add more Hindi symbols to help represent him as a character and his beliefs.
