Re-did some of my fake anime screencaps for River of Suffering again, so have a new and improved compilation of all pics so far. (And a sneaky preview of the next one currently in the works under the cut :eyes:)

I made a new design, this time Tlazolteotl (based on a Huastec depiction of her).

Also finished carving both the Tlazolteotl and my ExLibris. Whenever I get some free time, I'll do some stamp tests, both in the traditional way, and I'll try with a regular ink pad too.

Hi, I am aspiring artist, who is currently working on fantasy webcomic. Also doing sometimes pinups. https://doktorno.carrd.co/

(also your art is wonderful, and I love the little speech scrolls in montage sequences and Itzcacalotl collapsing on the ground into a very Mesoamerican art pose and all the little details - and Donají is completely adorable)

Hi! Thanks a lot, I'm very glad you're enjoying it!

Yeah, the webcomic began in 2018, though the version you're reading spans only up to chapter 5. In 2021 I signed a contract with IDW to publish Codex Black as a graphic novel series. So far there's two full colored books out there, and I'm currently working on the third one. The webcomic that's online corresponds to what is book 1, although we reworked the plot a bit, particularly chapter 5, and added a new climax and considerable material to that part of the story, as well as some extra scenes, so I'd say the book version is a much more developed one. Of course, as part of the deal I had to cease the publication of the webcomic online, so for example, none of what is book 2 is online, for now.

Indeed, as for the part you're reading, it's mostly Nahuatl and Zapotec names (Donají and Itzcacalotl themselves being examples). Though later on there will be characters from other cultures, like Otomi, Huastec, P'urhepecha, etc.

The pose you mention of Itzcacalotl after they fall down the cliff, is a reference to the famous Coyolxauhqui relief!
