Description
This time we have a villain in the Sengoku Avengers-verse (Marvel's Avengers as characters from Sengoku era Japan.)Loki is reimagined as 'Kagami'.
The man known as Kagami is truly the god of fire, Kagu-tsuchi, youngest son of the gods Izanagi and Izanami. His birth was difficult and his mother died. In a blind rage his father struck off the child's head.
Being a divine personage, Kagu-tsuchi recovered. However, he thereafter held a burning grudge in his heart against his father and all of Creation. When the opportunity presented itself, he stole the sacred mirror and used its power to transmit himself to the mortal world. There he used tricks and godly magics to sow chaos, using the mocking pseudonym Lord Kagami (a name which means 'mirror', but is written as 'fire god').
The gods elected to send Kagu-tsuchi's older brother Raijin after him to put an end to his brother's plot of destruction. The two siblings are destined to clash in a battle between immortals that will rage across the islands of Japan.

"The two siblings are destined to clash in a battle between immortals that will rage across the islands of Japan."
Reminds me a bit of Ragnarok, too.

Very awesome. Love all the little details, in all of the ones in this series, really. Loki/Kagami is my favourite, though.

Nice job! I like how you managed to emulate Loki's weird helmet through the use of deer horns.

Thanks! I really like deer horns as an alternative to regular horns. It feels more specific, and I like that in designs.

Thanks! It was a lucky bit of source-material lining up well.

Indeed. But the Japanese deer horns matching the helmet of Loki from classic Marvel style is brilliant. And the fact it the translation of the classic shape-shifting trickster is awesome.

Yesssssss excellent. I love the designs just as much as the little backstories you write. Very clever!

Nice play on puns with his name. I like his look, also!

I love wordplay names, and so did Loki, for that matter.

It's such a Loki thing to do.

I actually finished all the coloring and everything before I thought of it and went back in to add it. It was worth it.

Nice trick with the antlers, compared to Loki's usual ridiculous helmet!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was one of the first things I knew I wanted to do with the character. I thought antlers might work because Kagu-tsuchi is often portrayed as a dragon these days, and asian dragons often have kickass antler horns.
