“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.

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.

An illustration I made depicting the legend of how Quetzalcoatl and his precious twin Xolotl pilfer the bones of humanity from the Lord of the Dead in Mictlan, to bring humanity back to life.
