Terra-Essence Art

I did some more art recently. This is an apprentice priest for my rpg / visual novel.   And here's a video of the process!  

Here's some concept art for my character, Jaws. He's a daemon from the capital of Mareterrae (the water kingdom) - Trenton. He's one of the main characters in an rpg / visual novel I'm making. I haven't posted up much (or anything, actually😅)  about my visual novel, but eventually I will! 😁Down below I posted a time-lapse of me digitally painting. *Suddenly gets pushed aside* Jaws: You're in the way. Jaws: I'd like everyone to know that's not my blood. Me: Oh, really? Jaws: Yes, really. It's not my fault the enemy decided to bleed everywhere. They were particularly messy today.

I finished this a few days ago. It's based on the Japanese mythology about Amaterasu hiding in a cave. Apparently Amaterasu hid herself away in a cave due to an argument and refused to come out. Since she's the sun goddess, the world was covered in darkness and evil spirits roamed all over the earth. To lure her out of the cave, the other gods tried many things. They placed a large tree outside the cave and decorated it with magatama, white clothes, and a mirror at its center. In addition, another goddess danced so wildly with a strip-tease routine that the other gods' laughter caused Amaterasu to become curious. She opened her barricaded cave and was distracted by her reflection in the mirror. Eventually she was yanked out of the cave and there was sunlight over the earth once more. Here Amaterasu is entranced by her reflection and is being honored by a priest and priestess below.
