Ameyalli's Convert

«She was just a small babe when we found her. An odd little creature... yet she was a gift from the jungle so we took her in. We raised her as one of our own, taught her the ways of the jungle and told her of our goddess Ameyalli. Yet the little girl always felt like an outcast. When she first saw her reflection she recoiled, horrified by a face so different than all she ever knew, different to those she believed to be her family. She always wore that silly mask of hers trying to hide her face. A strange little girl she was, that would grow up to be a strange woman. And one night she disappeared, without a word of farewell. I like to think she went looking for her kin and I hope she found a place where she could feel at home.» - Kaana Miatli ________________________________ Hello! I've been lurking on here for a while now and I've finally decided to upload my first look! :) I always wanted to do something with the Southsun mask, an awesome skin that I feel like is used way too little. It was important to me that she doesn't look like some primitive jungle witch dressed it feathers and bones and more like a proud Aztec/Maori warrior mage type character. I tried to match the colours to the tribal weapons, a set of weapons that I like quite well. It took a while until I was satisfied with the armour pieces. They had to match the weapons set and the colours as well as the geometrical aesthetic present in the mask. As I was creating this look I drew inspiration from Maori culture and their use of geometrical patterns and contrasting colours. I wanted there to be some parts that look like they're made from the same green material from the tribal weapons set. And I also wanted there to parts that are made out of a valuable looking silk like material. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!
