A little something I did in my spare time.
This is a picture done with a spiritual take on Lammys trials through her game. With guitar in hand in both body and mind(Though mostly mind), she conquers the trials thrown at her one by one.
Each item shown is a representation of her journey of self understanding, and despite handling other things, she handles them as she would when she holds her guitar. As Master Onion said, "Dojo, casino, its all in the mind."
If you are interested, I wrote a thing on it on tumblr that goes into detail.

Isn't this more of a Hindu aesthetic than a Buddhist one? (though there are similiarities of course) I also read some of your post on Tumblr, but I think maybe the game can be compared more to Taoism (with its focus on finding peace of mind, similar to western Stoics and Epicureans) rather than to Buddhism (which is more focussed on ceasing all action in order to purify one's karma in an attempt to get to nirvana - though Buddhism is of course also focused on attaining peace on mind, be it through quite different means than what Lammy does in the game). Also, Master Onion seems to me more inspired by taoist masters/mystics than by Buddhist monks/mystics. But I have limited knowledge on these topics, so you could still have a point. It's a pretty cool drawing in any case
True, in fairness I was going alot by what a friend suggested(We're both Hindus). Though I do feel you are right likely more to the Taoist stuff in that regard and now these days even I think it is more taoist than Buddhist. Though in fairness to the eastern religions/philsophies their ideals tend to blend together too. It's still fun to imagine Lammy learning Enlightenment in her journey of self discovery.
Multi arm buddhas do exist though or at least the image of them do, especially if you go to Tibetian Buddhism. I imagine its in part influenced by the various Hindu Sects, but the religions have synergy and its helped that for the most part the religions have intermingled more or less peacefully.

On a side note, I may one day return to this pic and redo it and make it really shine.

Wow, thanks for the really interesting and insightful reply. Are you from India or not? And it is true, eastern ideologies are closely related. As I saw in a recent course, after the Han Dynasty, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism all sort of were used by the ruling Chinese dynasties to varying extents (similar developments elsewhere probably). Keep up making art, I really enjoy your stuff, it's so good and well-made
Nah, I'm born in the US. I was Christian but converted to Hinduism sometime when I was going to college. Being a history nerd, I also took interest in a number of such subjects of religion and world history in general.
And yes, its interesting how the three seemed to interchange in how much prominence they held depending on the dynasty that ruled. If I recall right, it was the Qin who porsecuted the Confucian scholars, under its own form of ideology of Legalism which a friend of mine noted was in a sense a form of Proto-Fascism(At least in his words).
And thank you very much for the encouragement! ^^
