Mentally I'm Still In Ochkanatlan

I need to draw Scylla in all his beauty ….., give him an artwork he really deserves

Hoyo better cook up some crazy cutscenes during the world quest, I have edits I wish to make 😁

Being hyped over someone who took a role when the only reason for silence is due to AI related rights for VAs, plus some interesting choices hyv wants to have rights to with voices themselves, is honestly lowkey shameful. These people were excited for their roles in Natlan and barely got to experience them. Showing solidarity with each other and the community with them is how we help all VAs, rather than none. They literally want to have rights and ownership of their own voice.

Woah bro, you totally miss read me! I was never hype about the change. I totally agree with everything you just said, I was never hype about the change. Coming from an artist, Ai has to be one of the worst things to have ever happened and I want nothing more then to have companies stop funding and feeding into it.

Hoyo is a multi millionaire company who was trying to switch all the va’s to a new company but clearly with the with Kinich’s va, that switch never happened. I don’t know the details of it but seeing as Hoyo again is a company, patience will run out. I truly think Hoyo could have tried harder but in the end, a company does what a company does. (I am not supporting Hoyo for this choice in this).

I made that post to just inform my mutuals and small following. I was not speaking on anything other than what I heard and was told.

Daily memes: thought cause maintenance you guys will be bored of no content so I present two like yesterday

Alright here we go, todays meme:

OG meme:

Hey so I ate this, thanks for the meal

Before you guys behold my Xiuhcoatl's design, ypu guys have to read the convo of the coloring session.

>Borrowed lil bro's colored pencils. >Lil bro saw the red-blue lines & the snakes: "are you drawing toothpaste anime tentacle hentai?" >we smacked each other down. >continued to color. Lil bro somehow joined. >colored the hair. Wanted blueflame tips. Then Lil bro commented: "why there are some green there" >"wtf it isn't supposed to be there." It did. I initially wanted rainbow blotches like paints on his hair. I proceeded to gaslight my Lil bro that it wasn't there before. He didn't take it😓>"wait," said Lil bro, "shouldn't you, uh, what it's called... outline it first?" >"...idk how to outline. How about you?" >"tf no it's your drawing. Do it yourself." >"tf you're trying to color it then!!!???" >proceeded to argue before accepting that none of us can draw. >trying to finish the hair. Realized that we don't have purple pencil for gradation. Gave up. >"I still think you're trying to draw tentacle hentai" >proceeded to argue again.

Okay lo and behold, my masterpiece. It's cringe but we live that cringe life amiright.

"Why he looks like a femboy" bcs I like femboy.

WAIT BEFORE YOU GUYS STONE ME I CAN EXPLAIN-

The main inspiration for his design came from Dark Sun Gwyndolin from Dark Soul.

He have many similarities with my Xiuhcoatl. He was born as a boy, but raised as a daughter because of his affinity to moon magic. He was the youngest child of a god who brought fire to mankind. However, shit happened and the age of darkness came. His siblings died or fled one by one and he was the last one standing in his city. After his father left, he claimed himself to be the Dark Sun. He then proceeded to create illusion to maintain the city, becoming a bit tyrannical in the process. Btw he also had a "younger sister"/girl who claimed she was one, whom he was very close with but it's really unknown who's her true identity. But then shit happened again and he was devoured by a god devourer. I love his moon/sun theming, his desperation to maintain his city even if it all went shit in the end, his ambiguous gender indentity (there are debates all across the internet regarding it, but since the majority & his younger sister regarded him as a "he", I shall call him a "he"), and his SNAKES YAHOOO. Like his design is gorgeous overall but the snakes? They really elevate him to the stratosphere.

Still related to the snakes, you guys probably have read my post about Xiuhcoatl's link with the Tzitzimimeh. Now I particularly laser-focused on Coatlicue, the mother of the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui, the stars gods Centzon Huītznāuhtin, and the god of war and fire Huitzilopochtli. Coatlicue's name means "skirt of snakes". Oh boy how it fits Gwyndolin😋

If you count the snakes, there are 13 of them, representing the Dragonlords. "Where are the Princes" we don't know much about them😭 "are there any special distinction between the snakes" no I don't have enough skill to draw snakes😭 but I do love how the snakes sprouted out from his skirt, it looks like they sprouted from his loins *cough*, just like how they refer parents in archaic poetry & bible. For example: "Blest is the father from whose loins you sprung" (Odyssey, Book VI). Fun fact, the littlest of snakes you see in the front? I made it in the last minute when I recounted the snakes and there were only 12, but it became my favorite. Look at that silly goober🥰

Onto the dress/huipil itself... no, it's not anything special. I based it from this image:

I don't even manage to add the feathers on the rectangle😭 uoghh it could elevate his design... my Xiuhcoatl would adore to dress in ostentatious clothing and jewelery, I made a disgrace to him😓 I swear if I can draw better I'll draw him in the most elegant clothing you ever saw.

The lowest part of the skirt/cuēitl is supposed to be a frill, to give him a modern huipil (this is tehuana huipil!) touch like this:

But as you can see I suck at drawing🥰

The red-blue lines also followed the huipil's pattern, but yk, that's the color of the flame, and Xiuhcoatl is the Pyro Sovereign and based after a fiery blue serpent, so it fits🥰 "no it doesn't he looks like a toothpaste" be quiet😭

For his hair, initially, I wanted to have rainbow splotches on the tips, so his hair looks like a painting brush (his hair is dark brown). But I (my brother really) can't color to save our lives😅 then I switched to flame colors for the tips, from lightest blue to red then dark brown. However, as you can see, I fucked up😭

For his bangs, I actually based it after Lumine!

I'll save you from the brain aneurysm of theory, you only need to know that they both represent the feminine aspect of the twins.

And finally, his side feathers! You know from whom I based it!

His rizzler twin brother, Kukulkan😋 to tie them together!

For more explaination of his feminine side and his life in general, see this post.

The longer these chains bound her. Tightly keeping her within her stone-carved prison. Her memories corrupt on themselves, never-ending repetition of the past. When the Chronicler of the End Times must watch her own chronicle from her childhood to when the teal man skewered her heart with no ounce of guilt in his eyes. What Irony.

 What had he done...Oh, in the name of the Sun, what has he become? That beast that he feared? Or perhaps even worse.

She might explode in three seconds but only time will tell
