Description You can never know whether an Oni you come across is a harmless prankster, or a relentless killer who feasts on human flesh - or so they say.

---

"Oni [...] refers not to a terrible creature, but rather something ordinary that has been brought into the realm of supernatural by way of being a vessel to an angry spirit or Kami – not entirely possessed, yet not entirely itself.
[...] You are facing something that was perhaps once normal, but now has the composure of something otherworldly. It is strong, furious, and has an insatiable appetite – what’s worse, its ancient conscious knows far more than you."

Oni!! i know this one, haha

anyway, the values of this piece are really pleasing, idk why but there's just a nice contrast between the stillness of the background/atmosphere and the Oni's playful posture/grin, definitely brings it out. also the houses have nice small details in em, I like it! 
though I wonder how the Oni can stand on the house without the roof getting destroyed or the Oni falling off, but that's the mysteriousness of it I guess lol

just my opinion but you might want softer edges between the differently coloured leaves of the sakura (I think it's sakura?) trees to make em blend better (since leaves are a complete mess of clusters sometimes), but it depends if that would work for you or not. i do like the white flowers in the pink patches though, it does well in making the different shades/colours of the trees more cohesive!

as for the Oni in general, I love their grins and gigantic maces, I find it amusing (but it would probably be terrifying if you could find one irl)

also nice symbols as always ;y

keep up the good work, spino! I'll reply to your comments in a bit but I've been feeling a bit drained lately so you'll need to wait, rip I'm sorry
