Tzizimime

Posted Aug 30, 2007, 5:07:43 PM UTC

Las criaturas surcaban los cielos nocturnos, observando, acechando, esperando el tiempo en que pudiesen finalmente extinguir el sol y caer en hordas sobre los pueblos humanos. Mientras tanto, tienen que alimentarse.

Los Tzizimimes son criaturas celestes de la mitología Mexica. Se les identifica con las estrellas, pero se trata de terribles monstruos alados que invadirán la tierra en sus últimos días, predando libremente sobre la raza humana.

El trabajo es una ilustración 100% análoga. Se trata de un bosquejo a lápiz, finalizado con tinta. Tomó aproximadamente cuatro horas.

________________________________________________________

The creatures dwelled upon the nocturn skies, watching, stalinkg, waitingfor the time when they could be  finally able to extiguish the Sun and fell in hordes upon the human civilization. Meanwhile, they have to feed.

The Tzizimimes are sky creatures from the Mexican mythology. They are identified with the stars, but are in fact terrible winged monsters that will invade the Earth in the Final days, preying freely on the human race.

This work is a 100% analogue piece. It´s a pencil sketch, finished with ink. It took about 4 hrs to be done.

    I find the drawing powerful, I would, however, add the eyes which are meaningless as they are now, and teeth. I hope you don't mind the critique

    Wow, that's some amazing detail. As dark as it is, I'd like to see the mass he's standing on even darker... but that's just a personal preference. ^^;

      Thanks for your comments!

      And you're right, the piece needs a bit more contrast between the rock and the monster, but I'll better try to get that with color.

    I don't believe I shall ever be able to look at stars the same way again. Sad

    Very nice design. He looks quite terrifying.

      Hey, I remeber you from Saimain´s NaKWG contest!

      Thanks a lot for your comments, and sorry about the stars but hey, Lovecraft also made people fear them... or more precisely, what dwells in there.

    That looks awesome. The details are wonderful. It looks scary. I can't really think of anything that looks wrong, since I have never seen any of these before. Really interesting piece of mythology.
