Landscapes and Backgrounds 🏞

The most time-consuming, but also among the most satisfying to make. A mountain Ayauhcalli shrine, the Anahuac (Mexico Basin), and a Oaxacan tianguis (market).

Huntress-Warrior Donají 🦌🏹🐆

Donají with the attributes of God of Hunt, Mixcoatl. This drawing is full of symbols related to Donají's past, present and future, as well as to Chicahualizteotl, but I won't go into much detail. It took much longer than usual!

15th vs 21st centuries Donají

No matter the era, Donají always getting in trouble with authorities.

This is an idea I had in my head for several years already. It's actually a redraw of a panel from Codex Black's chapter 7 (book 2), where she's forced to fight a group of Mexica warriors without her poncho.

You could say this is how Donají ended in jail.

More landscapes & backgrounds 🏞

The Isthmus Zapotec city of Guidxiguie' (today Juchitán).

A slice-of-life river bathing scene, one of my favorite panels from book 2. Back then, they used the "xiuhamolli" plant (Aniseia Martinicensis) to produce foam like soap.

And a wild river during heavy rains (a sneak peek from book 3).

Xolotl, god of twins, monsters, deformities, and the personification of the Evening Star (Afternoon Venus). Very quick doodle (?), speedpaint (?)
