no one really ever discusses that quackity built a mesoamerican pyramid on qsmp like this is from ancient aztec times and it’s gorgeous and not enough people discuss the cultural worth of the build.
however the pyramids were also built as a way of storing the dead kings and honoring deities, it’s possible that these pyramids, despite having no kings, may store the “dead” such as the dead eggs or be an honoring place for cucurucho. unless they see cucurucho as a king? that’s also more of a theory, it’s more likely that it’s just built as a monument and nothing more.
i hope more people start discussing it though cause aztec and mesoamerican culture and architectures are gorgeous and should be discussed more cause although egyptian pyramids are the more commonly discussed, these are equally as gorgeous to me.

The jungle realm has been one of my favorite ones to develop on this map. I wanted to do sort of fantasy-ancient-Central-American inspired builds, but not in ruins like they are today. I wanted these builds to be bright and colorful and vibrant like they would have been long ago.

IXCHEL, the Mayan Moon Goddess
Tumblr media
Official Pyramid Media 369 website: www.pyramidmedia369.com
Here is a picture of the Ancient Mayan Goddess, Ixchel (pronounced Ischel) and sitting on the Moon and holding a rabbit while fishing. The fishing pole and the fish are also symbolic. Have you ever heard of the Fishers of Men? I will explain this in a different article. The Rabbit she is holding symbolizes fertility, sex and abundance (good fortune). The Moon Goddess is known to be a goddess of love, midwifery, sex, fertility, pregnancy/childbirth, water, rain, textile arts, agriculture and natural medicine. In hieroglyphs, her name appears as Chak Chel, which means “Big Rainbow”. Ixchel is one half of the original Creator Couple. Yes you heard it right, the Creator is a companion! There is always a masculine-feminine counterpart in the untold stories of the Creator. The male Creator God is known as Itzamna, the Solar God, the Supreme Being, Father of The Universe, etc. Ixchel, Itzamna’s wife, is also believed to have just been the feminine manifestation of the Creator, as she is the mother of both the Sun and the Moon. Some also referred to as an evil old woman that had unfavorable aspects, due to her association with destruction, floods. But she was honored because of her many different healing powers. She is also depicted as an old woman emptying a vessel of water on certain hieroglyphs.

She is also referred to as “Goddess O’ in the Dresden Codex, the original Mayan Tablets found in Dresden Germany, hence the name.  “Goddess I” is her younger counterpart, ie. a younger projection of herself. She is the Goddess of Marriage; as well as human procreation, as they aid the health & vital functions of the fertile woman. Together, they are the representation of Frigg/Frigga in Norse mythology, which is ultimately Venus. Hence the term Fri-day. See my previous article about the days of the week and their names. But nonetheless, all Venusian deities are Mother Goddesses.  
The serpent on her head not only represents the shedding of old skin, it also represents transformation, Divine Feminine, Healing, Kundalini and Christ energy. She also was known as the Jaguar Goddess of War, due to her fierce ability to protect her tribe the same way a Grandmother would for all her family’s children. Although there is little information regarding her association with the Jaguar. Her energy is very subtle and supportive, and is known to aid both men and women who are on a path to transformation. Just like a Grandmother right?

The Temple of Ixchel
Among the Mayans, physicians and priests hailed her as the patron deity of divination and medicine. Mayan women visited sanctuaries dedicated to Ixchel when they wanted a happy marriage or a child. She has been depicted as overlooking childbirth in scenes painted on vases from Mayan Classic era. Certain other sources also hint her to be an Earth Goddess as well. She has various different expressions and is held to the highest regard out of all Goddesses in the Mayan pantheon. These assumptions are primarily made by identifying one or more of Ixchel’s traits with those of the other deities mentioned. I mean, she is 50% of the creator, isn’t she? Makes sense to me. Below you will see ancient Mayan transcripts indicating that it was advanced levels of science being exemplified.

Mayan Cosmovision
This is the Mayan depiction of the Earth, cosmos, elements and the 4 corners of the earth. Below you will see Ixchel floating amonst the firmament. The Red, White, Yellow and Black all represent one N, S, E, & W as well as the 4 elements.

Long before the Aztecs and the Mayans came along there was another impressive civilization. Called the Olmecs, they inspired much of what Mesoamerica is famous for.

That's me at Teotihuacan in 2000 (en route to pitch the Mucha Lucha! pilot to the different Warner Bros departments in LA). I was so struck by the atmosphere of this magical place that I started planning a project that would be set entirely between the pyramids of the sun and moon.
(And yes, there is a lucha libre connection…)
After a lot of stops and starts I eventually developed a script and concept art. But the effort to make it look epic and 'blockbuster' weighed it down and it ultimately became a chore to take it any further.
So what's this post really about? Just me engaging in some tumblr therapy. I was thinking back to which animation projects I had worked on that brought me the most joy and fun. I realized that I spend too much time working on style and concepts and trying to achieve a certain technical 'look', rather than actually enjoying myself with what I am doing.
So I m revisiting this project and going back to basics. No over-reaching, no trying to draw out of my style. I remember when I taught myself animation that I had a great feeling of creative power, that if I could storyboard and animate, what else did I need? With today's technology, CGI, HD Blender, Mo-Cap, PreVis, Beavis, Butthead or whatever, and everything that goes with it, the pressure is there to embrace it all and be slicker and more whizz-bang than anyone else.
Bollocks to all that. I'm getting back to basics. I got a pencil as a present on St. Valentine's Day and I'm sure I have some paper somewhere...
