    a japanese mythology/myth "the underworld"

    "The god Izanaki and the goddess Izanami created the islands of Japan and also other gods. One day, when Izanami gave birth to the god of fire, she died from the burns. Izanaki felt he could not live without his wife, so he went to the underworld to see her. When he saw her, she said,"I already have eaten the food of the underworld, so I can't come back to you. But since you are here to see me, I'll ask the god of the underworld if I can go with you. You have to promise me one thing. Do not try to get a look at me until I come back here."
    However, Izanaki could not wait and he went to the palace of the underworld. There he saw his wife's dreadful body with worms crawling all over it, and the terrifying gods of thunder." Immediately Izanaki ran away and he used a big rock to block his wife from running after him. That is the rock which divides the underworld and this world.

    Cool image. I love those myths. It is similar to other stories, about bad things happening when you look behind you/ do things you are asked not to. I mean, remember that Blue-Beard's Wives Fairytale where he had all his dead ex-wives in a room and he asked his newlywed wife not to open it? lol anyways, at first sight Izanaki looked like a badass Jesus. haha.

    You should do more. I'd love to see what your Amaterasu would look like.

    Really reeaally nice stuff as always. I have to ask you though, what did you use to colour it? It looks like a mix of traditional and digital...whatever it was, it was also done very nicely.
