29.04.09 -- Tezcatlipoca character design sketches

WHAT I HAVE DONE TODAY:
I drew up three pages of potential Tezcatlipoca designs in my sketchbook today, starting off with a more threatening, toothy design and finally narrowing it down into a dark, eerie design that unsettles and disturbs the viewer more than outright frightens them. I also added extra ink doodles of black jaguars in my research pages just to make sure I could get the anatomy and posture right enough to exaggerate and characterise it for Tezcatlipoca, as I found that making him look realistic wasn't putting forward enough of the character and dynamic slinky, sneakiness that I wanted to show in his form.

WHAT I WILL DO TOMORROW:
I want to work in much the same fashion as I did, but draw up the Aztec woman's design.
