These are Arotê (Aroteh) & Towa-pod, two ancient shamans & creator deities from traditional Tupari cosmology.

This is Tlaloc, Nahua Rain God (a.k.a Dzahui in Mixtec, Cocijo in Zapotec, Chaak among the Maya). The Sun of the Nahui Quiahuitl ("4 Rain") era, which ended w/ a rain of fire.

From the comic book adaptation of the legend of the five suns I've worked on 4 years ago

1 year ago @whynotbuymore collected the 1st 2 1/1s of the Mythopoeia series on Sol! Vovin the 1st dragon + Tupaq & Ea, illustrations feat. original characters inspired by different mythologies which redefined my style. Since then, half of the series found their collectors! 🙏

An artist must always remain true to their vision and ideas

(but experimenting is good and necessary too)

Good evening
start to finish

[𝙕𝘼𝙈𝘼𝙃𝙀𝙇 @itzamahel]

Did you know where the name for the hurricane comes from?

Hun Raq'An, literally "1 leg" in K'iché, a Maya language from Guatemala. The name of a god associated with the sky, time and the creation of the world.

Possibly derived from the older Mesoamerican deity known as K'awiil.

GM 🐊

This is Cipactli, the Primordial Crocodile from traditional Nahua cosmology.

Adorned w/ extra mouths on her limbs, she prevented the gods from creating anything over the primordial waters' surface, until her capture - when Tezcatlipoca sacrificed his foot as bait.
