Aganju, the Volcano Keeper

This is my contest entry for Splinterlands Art Contest Week 195.

Digital Art created using Clip Studio Paint Pro on a Surface Pro 4.

From the Splinterlands Wiki page for Aganju:
They call him the volcano keeper. The Ferexia warrior named Aganju has gone deeper and stayed underground longer than any other human living in the Burning Lands. He has felt the invisible breath of the most frightening monsters from within the Planet, he has learned the deepest buried secrets, and his axe has made the end of many of the Burning Lands’ most dangerous enemies. Now, as the Splinterlands are called toward a great battle against the Chaos legion, Aganju has emerged from the caves to join the fight.

And from the regular Wikipedia:
Aganju (known as Agayú or Aganyú in Spanish speaking counties) is an Orisha. He is syncretized with Saint Christopher in the Cuban religion known as Santería. In Yoruba language, Aginju means a wilderness, inhospitable habitat or impenetrable locale.

Aganju is strongly associated with Shango. In some traditions Aganju is described as Shango's father; in other traditions he is described as Shango's brother. Both Shango and Aganju were, at one time, rulers of the Oyo empire who became deified.

In the Yoruba areas of Nigeria and Benin Republic, Aganju is known as a deified warrior king from the town of Shaki in the present-day Oyo State of Nigeria. He was said to walk with a sword and is said to fight by shooting fire, as opposed to Sango who fights with thunderstones and lightning. Shaki is in the savannah area of northern Yorubaland that has monoliths and boulder outcroppings.
