#ArtAdventCalendar Day 14

Iyadzehe Sicuaa Dzico Ñaña (Dec 2023)

Lady 10 Deer Jaguar Quechquemitl was a Mixtec princess & later queen. I put a chihuahua in this pic in honour of my dog Hazel. The work of @zotz.bsky.social was helpful for me in reconstructing a Mixtec noblewoman.

#MedievalSky 🗃️
Coloured pencil illustration. A Mixtec teenager sits on a large cushion. It is covered with jaguar fur. The girl wears a jaguar fur shawl over layers of green and gold on her torso, a red skirt with gold fringe, and red and white sandals. Her hair is tied with colourful cloth into braids twisted around the top of her head. She wears a necklace of turquoise, gold, and spondylus shells, and earrings and bracelets made of turquoise and gold. Her skin is painted an unnatural shade of yellow. A chihuahua is curled up at her side as she raises a glass of foaming chocolate to her lips. She is sitting in a room with a woven mat over a red floor. There are murals of royal figures on the wall behind her. To her right is a red doorframe hung with a white curtain, overlooking green mountains in the distance. In the light of the doorway stands a large ceramic vessel full of steaming, bubbling chocolate, with two ceramic cups next to it.

Tonatiuh, the fifth sun. At first I didn't like him cause he has this arrogant aura around, but knowing his backstory made me fall for him, haha.

A couple years ago I made a more historically accurate edit (on the right) of Chel from Road to El Dorado for fun. Looking at the late postclassic Maya. And yes, I am aware that the legend may have been inspired by the Muisca, but the culture in the film was clearly modeled after the Maya.
A screencap of Chel from the animated film, the Road to El Dorado is seen on the left. On the right, is the same screencap but edited to make her character design more historically accurate. Replacing the loincloth (a male garment) with a skirt as seen in the codices. And removing the tube top which did not exist. Her head shape was changed to show cranial modification, and she was given a headband. In addition, red paint is added on her lips and arms. A beaded jade necklace was also added to her to match her bracelets.

Another old one, some court ladies based on late classic Maya vessels. These were concepts for a short comic (40 pages) set in Tikal around the reign of Yik'in Chan K'awiil. Alas it never materialized but one day, perhaps I can revisit it. It also would have been my longest comic all in full color.
Color sketches of Maya court ladies. The first has red hair and a backpiece, she also wears jade jewelry and a sheer decorated yellow huipil with a skirt underneath. The one in the back has her hair loose and holds a macaw feather fan. The third wears a large blue huipil with a low neckline. All of them have red and white face paint.

Gonna upload a few other old pieces I did. Study of Preclassic Maya headpieces based on the San Bartolo murals. I eventually did draw the upper right figure in full here: bsky.app/profile/zotz...
Study showing four busts of Maya women from 100 BCE with unique headdresses based on the San Bartolo murals.

Before becoming Topiltzin, Quetzalcoatl looked alot like his brother Tezcatlipoca. After his life as Topiltzin, Quetz refused to go back to his original appearance.

According to him, the way he looks now is a better reflection of his own heart. 💚 #oc
