Random post but here’s a picture of the Jaguar Temple at Lamanai! I went here in October last year and it was a very fun visit. I’m not very well versed in Maya mythology but they called Kukulcan Quetzalcoatl which was weird
So real
huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Don’t really like this piece but eh
Sometimes I feel like the entire aztec pantheon is this at least a little bit
I like how itztlacoliuhqui because In some myths he's a representation of the morning star, an avatar of the feathered serpent, or Quetzalcoatl but when he got shot by the arrow he descended to the underworld and became the twisted obsidian blade, or almost like an avatar of Tezcatlipoca....... So it's really cool how these gods just kinda mesh together
Yeah it's insane how every time I do research on him I find a new deity who is also at least partially Tezcatlipoca. Even he and Quetzalcoatl have been called the same titles.
Yaaay grass! /ref
Doodled a funny idea. Don't let Xipe in Mictlan
YEAAAAHH

In his defense Quetzalcoatl also started it /silly
ALSO, THE FACT THAT TEZCATLIPOCA WAS THE ONE WHO STARTED ALL THIS BUT STILL HAS A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS LOVER. CRAZY
Don't ask him about his relationship with his brothers and some of the mexica gods. It's metal chairs on sight. That man is getting jumped!
YES. I LOVE ANATOMY HEADCANONS
A study into 90% of Bill's organs
I went so overboard omg but I wanted to try underpainting :Dc See if you can guess what color was the base for each of em! Reasoning for design choices beneath the cut.
Teeth are retractable so as to not puncture the eye when not in use
Lashes are retractable because I couldn't figure out what else to do with them LOL they're pretty thick whiskers and so he'd have some trouble if they stayed in the way, but having them fully retracted would, I imagine, risk them getting stuck or the pores plugging with oil/dirt
Whether or not his tongue is forked varies in canon, just as his blood color does, so I just chose the ones I prefer! I do really like it when people give him blue blood but I think in subtler hues it can make him look a lil nauseous so it's easier for me to work with red
He cleans himself with his tongue because he's a gross little beast and can't just take a shower or something. Ok but really I just thought it was cute what are you a cop leave me alone
Every villain needs to be able to have claws it's like a rule somewhere I think
The second set of eyelids serve to protect the optic nerve but are mainly something I added partially for emoting purposes and partially because of how many times the animators do this thing where his lashes don't follow his lids and it drives me less insane to have a hc about it
Happy new year apparently because I forgot today was the day lmao
