Ramos posted:Fantastic post by the way. Thanks! Aztec Mythos are a passion of mine. And well, we've seen how Japan sees them but how about the west? These two are from an actual TCG done by Chilean artists   These ones are from an ill-fated card game developed in Mexico  Here we have Tlaloc, Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli god of Venus, Ehecatl god of winds and finally, Patecatl god of Pulque  A close up of Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli  Fun fact, this is the only piece that depicts Quetzalcoalt as a human. He's the venerable old man at the leftmost side. Behind him is Ehecatl god of wind, the lady in the back is Coatlicue goddess of earth and mother of Huitzilopchtl and Coyolxauhqui. The Green Skeleton in the Middle is Mictlantecuhtli god of the underworld, then is Tlaloc and the one in the rightmost side is our old pal, Tezcatlipoca. And now, actual fanart from mexican artists  Here we have Huitzilopchtli, God of War and main Aztec deity accompanied by his mother, Coatlicue.  Huitzilopochtli again  An eagle knight The next batch are all from the same artist  Huitzilopochtli again   Tlaloc  Quetzalcoatl  Tonatiuh, Sun God  Coyolxauhqui, Moon Goddess  Itzpapalotl, Goddess of death and conflict.  Mictlantecuhtli  Mayahuel, goddess of Agave  Xochiquetzal, goddess of Flowers and love.  Xochiquetzal and Hawaiian lava goddess, Pele because why not.  In an unusual depiction of the lore, here we have Quetzalcoatl trolling Tezcatlipoca. And because of course it would be a thing  Jojo inspired Moctezuma, Nezahualcoyotl and good ol' Tlaloc Bonus!  Tlaloc in a mock up dating sim And a relationship chart of the multiple Aztec gods.  Unfortunately, I can't identify them all.

Heath posted:Why is Quetzalcoatl sometimes depicted as a serpent bird? Because according to the lore that is his real appearance, a massive feathered serpent. Quetzalcoalt actually means that, "Feathered Serpent" Here you can see the way he was depicted in a temple dedicated to him in Teotihuacan.

3rd party Arcee of The Transformers. Robot mode looks fine:  Vehicle mode on the other hand:  Something something tailpipe Not that the official toys are doing much better. Masterpiece Inferno is a fire truck, so he comes with a liquid spray attachment.

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:And a relationship chart of the multiple Aztec gods. First row: Mikutorantekutori, Omakatoru, Patekatoru, Mayaveru, Painaru, Vevekoyotoru One off to the right under those last two: Atoratonan Second row: Ishipaparotoru, Tsupe Toteku, Tesukatoripoka, Kesharukoatoru, Vishiropochitori The two off to the right above the third row: Torarokku, Charuchivitorikui Third row: Toranruteotoru, Torarutekutori, Shorotoru, Senteotaru, Vishatoshiwatoru, Tekushisotekatoru, Nanawashin Fourth row: Ishutoriruton, Makuirushochitoru, Shochipiri, Shechikesharu, Shironen, Chikomekoatoru, Tonatiu Kesharukoatoru is obviously Quetzalcoatl but the rest I'll leave to you who seem to know the actual names. Those four in the second row are grouped as "The four siblings of Ometeotoru", whatever that last word is, and the four in the lower left are "The four siblings of the flower of happiness", at any rate. Edit: Had a typo in one and another completely missing from the fourth row, fixed KennyMan666 has a new favorite as of 19:19 on Dec 16, 2016 |

KennyMan666 posted:You'll have to figure out what these are actually supposed to be but the katakana says: Oh! That makes things much easier for me. Thanks. There are a few I'm not sure I identified accurately though. Let's see then First Row has: Mictlantecuhtli, I'm not entirely sure about the next one but it translates as Omácatl and that was just one of the many forms Tezcatlipoca could take. Then we have Patecatl and Mayahuel who were actually a couple and pretty much the patron gods of drunkards. After them we have Paynal who is Huitzilopochtli's messenger (think Hermes) and lastly, Huehuecoyotl a trickster god. He's pretty much the aztec version of Loki although he's also god of music and parties. Under them we have Atlatonan, who was Goddess of the Coasts Second Row begins with Itzpapalotl, the four at her right at the Four Tezcatlipocas or as the artist identified them, The Four childs of Ometeotl: Xipe Tótec, Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl and Huitzilopochtli. Ometeotl is the primal god in aztec lore, the one from which everything in the universe comes from. After them is Tlaloc and his wife Chalchihuitlicue, water goddess. Amusingly, lore describes Chalchihuitlicue as being an incredibly gorgeous woman while Tlaloc is described as monstrous with a cleft lip, fangs and google eyes. Fourth row begins with Tlazolteotl "She who eats filth", goddess of sexual excess and the one who absolved people of their sins by eating them after being confessed, thus her moniker. Next is Tlaltecuhtli, earth goddess slaughtered by Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca to create the earth. Xolotl is beside her, he is Quetzalcoatl's twin and the one who helps people to travel through the underworld seeking audience with Mictlantecuhtli. We have Centeotl, goddess of corn and Huixtocihuatl goddess of salt water and eldest daughter of Tlaloc next. The last two in the row are Tecuciztécatl and Nanahuatzin, gods of the moon and sun respectively. They're also the protagonists of one of the most famous aztec legends the creation of the fifth sun. Whew, just one row to go. We begin with Ixtlilton, god of Medicine. Next to him is MalinalXochitl snake goddess and Huitzilopochtli's sister. Then there are Xochipilli and Xochiquetzal, god and goddess of the flowers. Interestingly, Xochipilli was also god of homosexuality and was known to have affair with gods and goddess equally. Now it gets weird, the next goddess are Xilonen and Chicomecoatl. Thing is, they are thought to be the same goddess under different names. Although since she's a goddess associated with sustenance and the cult to the corn and she's part of the trinity formed with Xilonen and Centeotl, I think the artist was aware of this. The final god is Tonatiuh, the main sun god for the aztecs and the one for which the infamous heart ripping sacrifices were done.

That last one should be printed out and placed into a time capsule so that future historians will have the chance to be incredibly confused

U.T. Raptor posted:If you want to see more Japanese art of Mesoamerican mythology, see if you can find any art from the ill-fated F2p Vita game Destiny of Spirits. It had a ton of Aztec/Mayan spirits in the American summoning pool, in events, and in the Americas in general (also spirits based Native American mythology, for that matter, including the American version's tutorial character). Wow, you weren't kidding. These are great,although I do find amusing how some artists were pretty literal on their sticking to the lore while others have a pretty superficial approach on their designs.        This one bugs me because is fantastic but Huitzilopochtli was blue skinned, not gold.
