Demon Core - The Goddness of Nuclear Power

Description

"[...]  I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."

J.R. Oppenheimer,Interview about Trinity, the first nuclear test.

Made for a FB contest, (so it's 100% nipples-free) , inspired by this song youtu.be/GrtBDMMu5nU

Combining classical Indu iconography and the Cherenkov radiation, I created something that looks like Kali... and after all is the goddness of destruction and creation, it makes sense (nuclear power is both weapon and source of energy, no?).

More a demon, maybe.

The sphere holds in his hands is the "demon core" a sphere of plutonium used for experiments in 1945, which took its name after several incidents that caused the deaths of two scientists and the poisoning of half-dozen other people.

I have already imagined a story where a character so restless and "busty" haunts a rational mind like Oppenheimer :D

Love the colours and theme on this one...the Bhagavad-Gita citation by Oppenheimer is wrong tho, it was Krishna speaking to Aryuna.
