This is my most recent commission of the Mazatl gylph symbol with a huehuetl instrument in the background.
I am open for commissions! Give me a DM!
#artcommission #digitalillustration #mesoamerican
the MD port gives it a big audiovisual overhaul and I like that version a lot but it does have one huge flaw: it changed the final boss to some mesoamerican death god, instead of a floating xenomorph torso wielding a sword
I was bored and on work break, so I decided to do
a quick redesign of @Subjectively_5's Fire Starter line, based on the Mesoamerican Feathered Serpent! I went with a fireworks/pyrotechnics theme, since it kinda fits the celebratory, prestigious aspects originally intended.
Day 10: Eldritch #Kaiju #Kaijune2020 #KaiJune
Originally worshiped as a god by a few mesoamerican tribes, this entity went into hiding when colonization began. When its resting place was discovered by loggers, it awakened, and it was not happy.
この記事ではウィツィロポチトリとして『マリアベッキアーノ絵文書』のプルケの神の1人パテカトルの絵が使われてたけど、そういえばHandbook of Mesoamerican Mythology(Wikipediaのアステカ神話記事でしばしば参照されている本)では同絵文書のケツァルコアトルの絵がウィツィロポチトリにされてた。
This practice is depicted in various examples of art throughout the millennia of Mesoamerican history.
Aztec Female Noble. Huge thanks to @SaxRafael1 for helping me with the colors and body paint that I would have missed! And thanks to @AztecEmpire1520 for his beautiful story of the conquest which got me into Mesoamerican artwork #mesoamerica #aztec

Some building concepts for Quscopolis, aka Ica’s setting, as well as the woman herself.
Also seriously go check out Shi-gu’s art, they do some really cool stuff! https://t.co/y3DEb2d0qG
All things important to the Mesoamerican civilizations were recorded in the Amoxtin, long pieces of amate paper or deer skin that are the prehispanic books.
The European dichotomy good/evil was a concept #Mesoamericans found hard to comprehend. To them the world at heart was good ('cualli' in Nahuatl); with no notion of '(d)evil', these could only be translated as 'amo cualli' (not good). As for 'sin' - 'what the hell is that?'!
Tobacco - picietl ('little perfume') in #Nahuatl - was not just smoked by #Mesoamericans, it was used medicinally: ground up to treat diarrhoea, poisonous snake/spider bites, gout, headache, and as a rubdown to relieve fatigue. Image from Florentine Codex.

David Alvarez Mexican illustrator beautiful black-and-white illustrations that seem to glow from within, due the rich nuances of greys and pen strokes. They say that we dream in black and white, this is certainly a proof
Symbolism and Mesoamerican cultural themes

Daily Fact Nobody Asked For (TM)
Apparently Knucklotec's crown represents a Mesoamerican deity called "Feathered Serpent" part of various cultures especially Olmec culture. It's said this deity brought knowledge to humans.
IM LOVE THESE DESIGN DETAILS
Ode to the #Mesoamerican #ballgame (new Aztec limerick...)
The great ritual sport known as 'tlachtli'
Was the word for the COURT itself, actually.
This game of such fame
That could leave players lame
Was 'ullamaliztli' - well, naturally!
