Weekend art

A character I'm developing for Void if I ever get the guts to join. Xiuhcoatl is an actual part of the Aztec mythology, if relatively unknown. The top picture is the snake you see wielded by Huitzilopochtli; a sun god, a war god, the patron deity of Tenochtitlan and was often portrayed as a hummingbird. Huitzilopochtli is one of my favorites of the Aztec pantheon, and while I can't remember exactly when I decided to give his snake a personality, I'm glad I did. But the human design needs work, as while I'm striving for an androgynous look, I don't want Xiu to look childlike either. And yes, I can pronounce all those names. Also, if you understand some of the reasoning behind his love of cocoa, you are awesome beyond measure.

Over the weekend I had an art spree, some of it due to my melancholy mood probably. Not all of it is finished, so there will be more to come at a later date. Anyway, it led to more Fossil Fuel dinosaurs. Enjoy.

Because glowing dinosaurs ROCK
Why yes, yes they do. Their glow looks almost radio active, which I like. Can't wait to see Fossil Fuel when it's finished. Just from the pictures and description from before this looks good. *pets floof on his head* *hand gets chomped off* Awww, isn't he the cutest little thing ever! Ya, if dinosaurs really did come back to life, you can probably tell how long I'd live.

You're just teasing me now, aren't you, but I'm glad I can get you all motivated. My comments are delicious, but the important thing; are they nutritious? Okay, I'll stop now.
Completely random into. I was researching Cherokee mythology last night and stumbled upon one of their monsters. Nun'Yunu'Wi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nun%27Yunu%27Wi) I don't know whether to be offended, or amused. I'll go with amused for now.

I'm going to go with the theory that it's the white writer being high when he wrote that.
