Shinto Gods is a personal project of mine, I wanted to create a series consisting of some more complex pieces based on Gods/Deities of the Shinto Religion as I love the story telling and mythology surrounding them. I tried to keep somewhat of a traditional Japanese feel in my compositions but give it my usual aggressive and fierce aesthetic with pen tool only line work and then add a modern design twist I've been experimenting with.
