Ten no Ikari

天の怒り = "Ten no Ikari" = "Wrath of the Heavens"

Well, it's been a while since I've uploaded something so I figured I'd, oh, I dunno...upload something?

This angry fellow is the sky monster Ama. He hates the world, but he doesn't want to destroy it because he lives there. Anyhow, because of this he has to swallow his rage and try not to break stuff or people.

But every once in a while a crow will steal his bread and that's when he snaps and has himself a crow sammich. I...don't know why this would happen more than once.

Anyhow, I went back to black lines for this one just because I missed the vibrancy it gave. My last piece with the brown lines came out looking okay, but it looked very washed out so I decided I wouldn't make the change permanent. I might switch between the two in the future.

On a side note, Ama's hairstyle is a first for me. This marks the first time I've made the tufts like this - I must explore this more in future pieces as well.

In regards to the background, it was a photo I took from Wikipedia. Here's the thing I'm supposed to say to be nice:
