I struggled to get the rim marbled without getting any black underglaze on the dogs. I had to cover it in sticky notes lmao. I really love the effect though, totally worth it.

Did you know that Xoloitzcuintli (show-low-eetz-KWEENT-lee), also call the Xolo or Mexican Hairless, is believed to be the oldest dog breed in the Americas? Archaeological findings indicate they’ve been around for about 3,000 years.

A family of Xolos, one of the most ancient dog breeds in the world, believed to have been around since the 'old world,' The Xoloitzcuintle is one of several breeds of hairless dogs. Origin: Mexico
I did two doodles because I love this breed already.

For #MosaicMonday, here is Diego Rivera's (Mexican, 1886-1957) 1956 Exekatlkalli mosaic on the façade of La Casa de los Vientos (The House of the Winds, home of Dolores Olmedo) in Acapulco, Mexico. It was one of his last great works before his death. In addition to the depictions of the Mesoamerican deities Quetzalcóatl, Cōātlīcue, and Tlāloc, there is a Xoloitzcuintle (Mexican Hairless Dog) and a "Sapo-Rana" ("Toad-Frog" - a character based on Rivera's nickname).

I recently recalled an OC I adopted a few years ago, who I had only ever drawn once. And he maaaay have taken over my brainmeats these past few days. I redesigned him further and made him on Secondlife because I've lost control of my life, and my wallet.
I did his head , ears, tail + body textures, but the tattoos and everything else was bought!
OG Drawing I did of him shortly after purchase around 2020-ish! I bought him off @zero-tailed-fox <3
