Been Drawing "el Chavo Del Ocho" Characters As Their Aztec Versions

I made gifs out of the legend of the fifth sun animation by Louise Fogerty because I’m going feral

(Warning there is both bottom and top frontal nudity)

Also bonus

Do you ever have vent art that turns into femtanyl fanart halfway through?

Yeah…… (EYESTRAIN)

I love eye of the serpent and Mexicolore!!!!!!

Hiiii! I was wondering if you have any resources for Mesoamerican mythology that’s good? Can be a website or book or anything really. Trying (desperately) to reconnect with my culture.

Hi!! So, so sorry for not answering sooner, but life happened lol. I’m struggling finding resources myself, considering that many were destroyed (thanks to colonization), or they were traditionally shared orally within our cultures. Some of the best resources I’ve found are often anthropology and history books, but I highly recommend doing research into the authors as well, and determine for yourself whether you trust them or not. From my own personal list here some:

Books:

Aztec & Maya: The Complete Illustrated History by Charles Phillips

The Oxford World Mythology by David Leeming

Mythology: Myths and Legends of the World by Dr. Alice Mills

Goddess Stories: Discover their mythology by Alison Davies (Has some Aztec and Native American goddesses, a Brazilian one too!)

Deck:

The Nahualli Animal Oracle Deck by Caelum Raineri and Ivory Andersen

YouTube:

Eye of the Serpent

Native American author Edgar Martin del Campo shares lessons from the indigenous religions, cultures, and languages of North to South Americ

Websites:

It’s a small list, but I hope it helps! I’ll also be doing some more digging and try making more posts about the gods of the Mexica :)

So I’m struggling with art block but

This gave me an idea

WHAT THE FUCK!!!! I FORGOT TO REBLOG!!!!!!

I don't know how well oc art typically does on tumblr, but I'm dropping Coyoxauqui (based on the aztec goddess) here anyway, because she looks so cool actually

YEESSS YOUNG HUITZILOPOCHTLI MY BELOVED

Have another drawing :3 Coatlicue and my oc Ilhuitl

OH I LOVE IT! I love coatlicue very very much! In return, have these versions of Huitzilopotchli and Tezcatlipoca I drew in my sketchbook for a Aztec-based fantasy novel I'm working on! Huitz is supposed to be around 16 so take that with a grain of salt :>

Tezcatlipoca that one time he turned himself into a woman with a fat ass to fuck with Huemac (yes that happened)

its my gender and i get to pick the appropriate times to misgender myself for comedic purposes

YIPPE E you are braver than I

i tried animating (kinda??) nana and tecciz in capcut and it got SO. LAGGY. I COULD COUNT THE FRAMES I FELT LIKE MY PHONE WAS ABOUT TO STOP WORKING ALTOGETHER and its too laggy to make anything better than this i fear but i had fun... (i think)

oh well. practice makes perfect, and i wanted to practice. im only posting this bc i havent rly posted much abt aztec gods in a while and its not too embarrassing (i think)

i had so much issues with getting tecciztecatls hair right in capcut oh my god. the boing was fun to make tho (i think)

Honestly based

If every time my sister asked me to draw my favorite male character pregnant I got a penny I would have two pennies which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

>I spend too long researching hair for this to flop

It flopped :(

Warning for nonsexual top nudity!

So I was originally gonna draw big naturals Tecciztecatl as a joke but I just ended drawing fem Metztli minus her rabbit scar because I was lazy

Plus all the refs I used because my canvas is always cluttered
