Well long time no see! This is an old one! But I love to portrait strong woman images, and she is what it should be the type of a Mayan and Toltec commander from an army legion on this beautiful mythology! did tons of reference on archeology files with professionals on this topic, was quite an experience to learn so much about my culture, and to be able to create for her outfit and interpretation of character, on what the expectations of the culture she defends and represents! her staff calls the God of death ¨PATCHUL¨ always represented by a white face, and the animals and tattoos of beast and such around her armor are to represent the GODS! witch came to our earth in that shape!
THE Concept was a bit experimental, on how many details of shapes I want her to have...
HOPE YOU LIKE IT! I know has many details, but it´s meant to be like that! for a more mature audience! Since the topic its worth of this level of work!
More from her world I create will come!
Thanks for watching friends and artists pals, cheers!
AXEL!
ESPAÑOL: ESTA ES UNA COMANDANTE TANTO TOLTECA COMO MAYA, FUE INTERPRETADA POR MI PARA QUE REPRESENTE LOS DIOSES QUE VINIERON EN FORMA DE ANIMALES, Y SU ARMA DE OBSIDIANA PUEDE LLAMAR AL DIOS DE LA MUERTE ¨PATCHUL ¨ QUIEN SIEMPRE TIENE LA CARA BLANCA ( por esta razón se pintaban así la cara los guerreros ) SUS REPRESENTACIONES Y DETALLES SON VARIOS POR QUE LO QUE REPRESENTA ES AMPLIO, Y A MI SENTIR DEBE TENER JUSTA LA FORMA DE EXPRESAR LO BELLA QUE ES NUESTRA MITOLOGÍA PREHISPANICA!
El boceto fue solo una experimentación de lo que hace su figura junto con los elementos que quería añadir en sus representaciones y siluetas! Espero lo disfruten y mas de su maravilloso mundo saldrá en mi portafolio!
Wizards and Witches of the Water- Magos y Brujas de Agua - Magiciens et sorcières de l'eau
This will be is a long category, with many mermaids, tritons, and fish people alike! They represent many beauties of magic on the Oceans and the Water Worlds, and their history has been not known as it should! This is why I want to take some of their power and show them to you!
The paintings have all a different history. Let me explain shortly : since I was a little boy, I want it to be a marine biologist, although I always have been good on water sports, and my passion for the ocean was clear, I felt that the people´s need for my to serve was to show them with art the grace and harmony that this worlds like others inspire to me, and how I never felt it as another world, but like part of my own, since I don't believe that separating your self from something makes it better, but incomplete....
So this beings have all of them a part of me and a part of this world, that means they are magic, power of nature, and harmony of water with the element , what inspires me it is all those great moments! like when you can see a coral growing, a seahorse under a camouflage , a turquoise ocean color when the sun touches in that precise moment where the sun passes through the wave, or a shark whale having a break from a long journey while it takes some direct light of the sun! I do hope you get some of this!
Enjoy the work in progress! while I explain a little of what I do for taking some of this magic into my brush!
Here I can show you my 1sth wizard of the Salty waters called !
¨ALKOR ¨ W.I.P ( work in progress )
Sea Horse Master, he alone contains the strength and noble art of creating with the mighty coral staff all creatures that can travel trough time, their shadows of existence when they pass trow time and water are little shaped bubbles that are better known as sea horses!
¨ Oxum & Orca ¨ The meeting !
This is just a pretty scene where Oxum better known in the Brazilian mythology folk culture, as the mistress of sweet water, always representing the gold and a mirror for beauty, her sister is Yemanja, although she is the ocean. Oxum has a pet here called ¨Pearl¨ and it´s a baby sea white dragon!
Orca it´s from a very far land, he belongs to the Triton family( mer-man ) he has a companion fish called ¨Metatron¨ and he is king of the ice castle on the Irish Oceans!
¨ONDINA¨
It´s a powerful wizard, he may create other merman folks, from bubbles and dreams, and he collects the dreams of those whom have fallen in love near water, this element combined with his magic, does great things!!
¨FROEL¨ W.I.P ( work in progress )
He may bring light to those whom live far from the sun! He does have a very large fish tale, that creates water waves all over the ocean , this paths will show to the lost one from the sun to find their way to light!
