The Lord Sun, Tonatiuh.
Happy holidays everyone, I hope you have a good one. Also please stick around for a little something I have for all of yall before the year ends!
“Inical, Initeocal in Huitzilopochtli”
The House and Temple of Huitzilopochtli - Commissioned by Trey the Explainer.
This is my interpretation of the sanctuary of Huitzilopochtli, one of two magnificent chapels that once crowned the Great Temple of Mexico-Tenochtitlan.

I should like to add, I am fond of your depiction of Tonatiuh also. You have captured his essence nicely.
Well, with Mesoamerican history and mythology community taking shape on BlueSky, I think its time to share old studies of Mexica's weapons. #Aztecs #Mexico #History #Art
Hello new followers!
Here's a Tezcatlipoca that I drew once. He is casting a spell using the forearm of a Mocihuaquetzqui (a woman who has died in childbirth).
So, Dream Rider is a comic co-written with @reytonatiuh.bsky.social and drawn by me. It is set in a fictional futuristic world. We began fleshing out the story shortly before the pandemic and have been developing it since then. It has a large cast of characters and rich lore to explore.
Let's dive into Dream Rider...
Tonatiuh drawn in the same hybrid style of early 90s anime with my own (see my previous Coyolxauhqui drawing for another example). Made for @reytonatiuh.bsky.social l
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked them! <3
