Having no experience with Chinese mythology makes this incomprehensible but I love it dearly
Ao guang:*in the throne room in silence*
Ao bing:*by his side and breaks the silence* man I'm so hungry I can eat Nanahuatzin
Ao Guang: how do you know that name
Ao bing: *got it from Sun Wukong but is not saying shit* I uh I uh started reading more books
Ao guang:....I need to be alone ao bing go to the garden or something
Ao bing:*already running off*
Ao guang for the rest of the day:
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
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
rb to give a flower to the person you rb this from
Hi I’m procrastinating on the animatic just to write I am so productive while ignoring other things
Every time I see your art I start squeaking (this is good)
Finally I can introduce you to Wajari! 🪇
Warime is an impressive celebration of Wotuha (Piaroa) people, and I've wanted to draw a character inspired by it. Maybe it's too bold of me to use the same name as their god, to be honest 😅
But... Would he be the clever shapeshifter god creator? Or just a healer as he always says? Who knows 👀
Random Aztec mythos headcanons because why not
• The moon (Tecciztecatl) controls the tides because the Tlaloques begged Acuecueyotl/Chalchiuhtlicue to give him a job so that he wouldn’t feel useless. Also because they wanted their “brother” to stay in Tlalocan.
• Xolotl could absolutely devour a chicken salad BLT. I have no evidence for this. He just seems like a BLT guy.
• Tezcatlipoca drops into the animal baby voice when he thinks no one is around.
• Nanahuatzin is undiagnosed autistic because he kinda reminds me of lil undiagnosed me when I didn’t understand why I never really fit in :(
• Quetzalcoatl created Olms (olm pic for reference) and Xolotl hated them so much for copying his style that he put them all in Europe.
• Tonatiuh and Huitzilopochtli flip a coin on who wants to drive the sun that day
• Tecciztecatl is just the dad and dog meme with the moon rabbit
Laughs at you /j
not even an obscure canon call could save me.
Whoops I haven’t drawn in forever
Lowkey there have been times where I felt so ill and I was forced to sit outside for ten minutes and immediately felt better after stewing. I am a plant. Photosynthesis.
This is the Aztec god Nanahuatzin. He sacrificed himself in a fire so that the world would have a sun and humanity could live. However, there is a problem. More and more humans are spending less time in the sun to spend more time at work and in school. In some places, people spend the whole day without seeing the light of the sun because they are busy working! This makes Nanahuatzin very sad because it means his sacrifice was in vain. Please cheer him up by quitting your job and/or classes to spend more time in his radiant light.
