The digitally colored version of a short animation with hand drawn sketches I've just posted. This is Coyolxauhqui in the CUETZPALIN Mythos, using her specially designed macahuitl, possibly to fight some Cuetzpalin. The colors are all basic and need some adjustment, but overall I liked the "sketchy" look of it.

The Design area is so vast that I'm just starting at web and animation studies - yes, this is basically the first animation I make and it already takes too much time that I used to spend on sketching. That's a good thing, however, as I don't want to end up as the type of guy who just keep drawing and don't make anything other than that

Coyolxauhqui is originally a deity from the Ancient Mexican (a.k.a Aztec) cosmology, she is the Moon Goddess, one of the Centzonhuitznahua "Four Hundred Southerners" and thus a daughter of Coatlicue, the Earth Goddess. She is well known to have led her brothers to kill their mother since she became pregnant of Huitzilopochtli, the War God and patron of Mexico, without an explanation other than a mysterious feathered ball. In the end, she and her brothers were killed by Huitzilopochtli, who was born as a fully-armed adult.

The CUETZPALIN Mythos is a vast universe I'm developing, alone, for some two years from now. It was going to be released as a comic book (and sometime possibly will), but because of other daily obligations it's currently put on hold - it still dictates, however, most of the sketches I do on spare time. Despite drawing inspiration and reference from many cosmologies past and present, worldwide, the ancient mexican/Aztec is one of the most influent on CUETZPALIN (hence its title, "lizard" in nahuatl, the language of the Mexicans/Aztecs still spoken to this day). On CUETZPALIN, Coyolxauhqui is a goddess who lived in the realm of AZTLÁN alongside many other gods, and ruled the city-state of Coatepec, until all of Aztlán was dragged into a foreign war by her "brother", Huitzopoca, and she set out to prevent her brother's pride and foolishness to drive Aztlán into destruction through an unecessary war against an enemy that was much stronger than Aztlán and had nothing to do with it. In the end, she failed, though not before discovering many secrets about her brother (with help from an old enemy of his) that would remain with her in the grave - or until she was... revived?
