It started as an alien and turns out rather Buddhists. (I'm apatheist myself) I decided it was actually how Buddha would've looked like in the planet Skyron. But the title Buddha in planet Skyron sounded like a bad B movie title. And at the time, I was listening to Futurama commentary a lot and one of the commentator said something like, "When in doubt, add Space before name." Hence the name Space Buddha.
It was published as a cover and it generated some controversy. Apparently the Buddhists took a page out of the christians and islams and threatens the editor. So much for karma.
Anyway. The original is quite hires, but it's in the archive. I'll dig it out later and reupload the hires here. In the mean time, enjoy a magnetic Space Buddha for your fridge. :D I was hoping DA would one day be able to print 3D statues, then, you can have your own space Buddha to put in your altar.
