Made some Tarot card concepts for my folklore OCs!! Wonder what it'd be like to use them to do readings 👀 #artph #kalachisocs #philippinemythology

Hey #FilipinoCreators I'm Kalachi! I make character designs based on Philippine myths and folk beliefs. Nice to meet y'all!

They don't call it a death stare for nothing. 💀🐍

My reimagining of Magwayen! I just realized I've never shown this aspect of her character design before. #kalachisocs #artph

Oryol just chillin' once again #kalachisocs #artph

Wanted to post my designs for the gods Gugurang and Asuang side-by-side! They're supposed to have a light-darkness but also death-life dichotomy 🔥🍄 #kalachisocs #artph #philippinemythology

My design for Liadlao, god of the sun in the Visayan creation myth! He is described as being cheerful and having a body made of gold. ☀️✨ #artph #kalachisocs

In Visayan myths, Magwayen is the goddess of the sea who ferries the souls of the dead. I gave her the motif of estuaries (where the river transitions into the sea; death is believed to be a transition). She has the lower half of an anaconda, a sacred river-dwelling animal.

In Cebuano legend, Mariang Kakaw is the goddess of Mt. Lantoy, named after its numerous cacao plants. I gave her a warm brown color palette to reference dried cacao beans' brown color. I also modeled her after the provincial girls often featured in Amorsolo's paintings.

In Kapampangan myth, Mariang Sinukuan is the goddess of Mt. Arayat. She settles disputes among mortals, so I made her a deity of justice with a light motif. She has the wings of a moth and glowing eyes because of this.

Again drawing from Tagalog myth, Ikapati is the goddess of agriculture. I gave her the traits of a horse, a farm animal; I also wanted to reference the myth of the tikbalang.
