¡Feliz Dia de los Muertos! Here’s Bruce as a alebrije for the occasion.
This Dia de Muertos is particularly special for me. Although it’s the first one without mi abuelita, it’s also the first time I can put her photo on my ofrenda alongside other members of our family. I finally managed the time to make pan de muerto, and visit my ‘lita’s grave to give her the cempasuchitl that also decorate our family’s ofrenda.
I've been a die hard fan of the movies since 2011 when La Leyenda De La Llorona came out (I'm mexican, I was raised in Veracruz, yes, where the last movie is placed).
When the series aired on Netflix I was a little... Worried, it didn't look like the Anima Studios animation and overall I was afraid it might be a gringo bad adaptation, that it wouldn't have good representation and would just be to the liking of the chicanos living in the US and kids from abroad (generally for people leaving outside of Mexico or the gabacho).
So, I'm summoning the fandom (preferably the Mexicans who love the movies, but if you're gringo/american/from somewhere else also feel free to say what you think of it) to tell me what they would rate the series.
It's serious guys, I want to know if I should watch it.
As it happens to be both #ThrowbackThursday and #DiaDeLosMuertos today, happy Dia de Los Muertos, all! Here's a slightly Coco-inspired alebrije I drew a few years back. (And a reminder that it's the day for my annual rewatch of Coco!) 😄💀
Ok, entonces, dado que hace un buen confirmaron que habrá una ciudad de Ajolotes...me puse a pensar que probablemente se puedan transformación en Alebrijes...en mi mente se veia mejor 😅 (ojalá y se haga cannon 🤞🌠)
Ok, so, since a good while ago they confirmed that there will be a city of Axolotls... I started to think that they can probably be transformed into Alebrijes...In my mind it looked better 😅 (I hope it gets made cannon🤞🌠)
A struggling artist from Sector 1. He claims to have arrived from a distant galaxy. He owns an art shop where he sells his paintings, crafts and supplies. He likes to paint with his tail rather than use proper brushes and he is rather good at it.
Many creative people in the Essence Realm have what is called Artistic Essence. This is a kind of magic that lets people create with their hearts. It can also give life to their works among other qualities.
He is happy to give art advice but isn't the best teacher.
First art of him. He was the winner in a poll of 3 characters I asked people in my server to vote for to add to the game.
His art shop is where he also lives in. On the top floor, you can find his room, while the bottom is for the shop. You can find all sorts of fun art supplies and crafts he has been working on lately.
Progress screenshots of his shop and room along with some of his works that are displayed. Some in the last image were done by @blaz-art
Ale has frog legs, the body and head of a dragon, wings of an eagle, snake teeth, and a bushy mane and tail. He has become one of my favorite designs I've made. Who doesn't like dragons anyway.
Inspiration
He is an Alebrije. These are Mexican folk art sculptures typically made of paper or cardboard. They usually depict fantastical animals with chimera-like properties and brightly colored patterns.
i failed to do the prompt i pulled for day two, but i did finish this raccoon alebrije for the monster smash sticker run.
i’m trying to make this month easier on myself and not getting beat up over finishing prompts day of. i’m looking forward to my weekend and hoping to get ahead of things.
at least it’s not JUST work getting in the way, but art projects that i’m actually finishing.
anyways, last night we had leftovers and watched THE MIST. i’ve seen it before and i love it, but it was hitting way too hard. i had to watch mean girls today as a palette cleanser.
