Description As I said, here is the drawing of the persona I just have submited

Hes name is Xolotl, it is the Aztec God of Thunder, Fire, Dark Venus and the Underworld, also is able to shapshift

Translated from the Nahuatl, Xolotl means "The Monster" or "The Beast", thats why I draw it as a mix of many things

The weapon in his right hand is called Maquahuitl, is a wooden mace covered with sharpened obsidian stones, so sharp that they could chop the head of a horse with one singe cut.

well, hope you like it

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

*EDIT: I decided to recolor it in my usual color pencil style, I decided I wont be using the digital coloring until I become really good at it, also, I Like to color it with my own hands.

Where did you find the translation for Xolotl? I can't find one anywhere. Also while he may be the God of LIGHTNING and Death (First time I've seen fire though), the Dark Side of Venus, and Guide to/of the Underworld. He was also the God of Sickness, Deformities, and Bad Luck. Most of which he manifested with his almost literal (in some cases literal) skeletal frame and backwards legs.

He may have been a shapeshifter but his only really recorded point where he shapeshifted was to avoid being excecuted for a crime he did not commit. Also I find it hard to call Xolotl a Monster or a Beast when he guided souls to the Underworld as well as guide his brother The Sun every night through it.

If anything he sounds like a nice guy who got the REALLY short end of the stick.

That's incredible dude. You did a good job with the CG, it can be kind challenging the first couple times you use it.

AND YOU FINALLY GOT THE FEET RIGHT!

I'm always nagging you about the feet and their positions, and this time it's AWESOME!

Good job!

Dude, same with me. I took a course my senior year of highschool, which gave me a great handle on the basics, and this coming semester I'm taking a design course where we work pretty much exclusively with computers. It's gonna be sweet!
