Mythical Creatures

View Winners Browse Entries
:iconangelicuscadere:
My entry for the Mythical Creatures Challenge, with the Mexican god of death, Xoloitzcuintle or Xolotl, twin brother of Quetzacoatl, the feathered Serpent.

Xolotl's incarnation is a mexican hairless dog who reaps the souls of the dead to bring them to the afterworld.

So here is Xolotl jumping into the Afterworld holding in between his jaws a cloud of two souls.


The five color law really killed me on that one. I had done the whole design in acrylics but couldn't bring it to the right number of colors after the scan so... I drew it all back on the computer!
Still, it was pretty fun. Around 16 hours.

No, it's not... I did this design for a dA context and I did not win, so you can't buy it anywhere.

A little like anubis :) They might be some kind of brothers or something :XD: I like the design of it and the 2 dimension look. Kinf of inca style. I particularly like the smoke getting out of his mouth and the concept of the skulls meaning that it's bringing the souls of the death (the good ones and the bad ones). Good idea and great interpretation of the story of the creature! well done ;P
Please check out my medusa shirt [link] and my other entries if you liked it [link]

Yeah right? Why are both those reapers dogs? From two nations who could build pyramids? That sounds suspicious...

Actually, the smoke part is the precise idea that made me choose this mythical creature for the contest.
Thank you for the compliments!

By the wy, your shirts are really nice C:

Thank you! I worked pretty hard to make it look like actual aztec/maya/mexican art, even if there where few good references. It's nice to be told it actually worked :)
