This is one of a series of pieces from a project illustrating how various different cultures believe the world was created.
From the Ainu (ancient Japanese), this shows the devil's plan to wait on the horizon for the sun to set, then swallow it, ending life on earth.
However Kamui, the Ainu creator god, creates the first crow, and sends it to fly down the devil's throat, choking him and foiling his plan.
but what happened to the crow? .. that's what I want to know!! Guess it'd be nieve to think he could survive being consumed by the devil :/ .... y'know I saw this in your front room the other day and didn't really appreciate the fact that it must have been on of yours (stupid huh?) ... I really liked ti though.. like the styalisation and the movement in the sky... s'all good fun
The crow does survive because the devil spits him out when he's choking - and as the story goes, the reason crows are so cocky is because they think everyone owes them something due to the first crow saving the world, so they think its ok to steal food and kid's mittens etc
I think that's probably a very good reason for them to be as cocky as they are... Crows OWN, they deserve respect!
I'm not so fussed with Jackdaws though.. those things wake me up in the morning by squeaking outside my bedroom window... rrr.. plus it bugs me that everyone down here calls them crows! .. really there's not much comparison other than the fact that they're both black birds o.O
anyways.. I presumed you got kicked off last night.. - I waited around for a while to see if you'd come back on but obviously ya went to bed. :] - have a good week!
When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
A Special Collection of photographs i found this month that still haunts my mind. Show them some love There are always some i can`t include due to space, i try to make the features under 50 deviations to give them better exposure
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
