Raijin
Raijin
Raijin is the Shinto god of the 8 thunders rain and lightning Raijin is very important it is believed that crops struck by lightning will hold a bountiful harvest.(below Raijin-left is fighting Fuijin-right)
Raijin and his brother are well know to fight each other to see who is the true ruler of the sky Raijin is always with his ring of 8 drums to make thunder and hammers to bang the drums Raijin is found in many art works and depicted slightly different in some he is depicted with a pot belly some as very muscular but always with his drums and hammers also usually riding a cloud and of course in a demonic body with horns and claws but the skin tone takes many colors as well Raijin can be found to have 3 fingers on his hands and feet to represent past present and future.(To the right is Raijin resting on a cloud watching humans.) I will model Raijin and set him on a kirigami back round i will make depicting rain clouds and he will be the center piece this is to show the more religious side of my artwork and i will paint him lightning blue .(below is a video about Raijin)
