Day of the Dead pokemons, they were made 2 years ago but I decided to finally finish them this year, they are inspired by several elements from the "Dia de Muertos" celebration

ZUKALAKA is based on the "Calaveras de Azucar"

PANDEMORT is based on "Pan de Muerto" in some of its more traditional forms

COMPARKA is based on the floats for the "Dia de Muertos" parade

And all of them carry elements from the traditional altars, like "papel picado" and candles

Touhou style myth I absolutely loved drawing.

If you’re Mexican or live in Mexican areas like me, you’ve likely seen or heard of La Calavera Catrina around dios de Los muertos. Mean the dapper skull, it’s the representation of souls traveling over, seen as a skeleton in women’s clothing and a decorated hat, beloved and ready to party. While calaveras have long been used to represent the dead, the Calavera Catrina was first seen in 1913, from which it would be common place as representation of the holiday, in decoration and costume.

Quote from Edvard Munch (yeah, the "The Scream" artist)

When I die, all I want is that my ashes are buried in soil and then to be planted a tree and some flowers on top. And if you add some forget me nots, wouldn't that be poetic 🖤

La frase es de Edvard Munch (si, el artista del "el grito") y se traduce más o menos como: De mi cuerpo en descomposición, las flores crecerán, y yo soy ellas, y eso es la eternidad.

Cuando Muera lo único que pido es que entierren mi cenizas en la tierra que planten un árbol y flores, y mucho mejor si alguna de las flores son nomeolvides (miosotis) ya que eso sería muy poético 🖤

Our first folk horror movie of the season inspired me to change out the harvest embroideries for the Halloween and Dusicky/All Soul’s Day/Day of the Dead ones.

When asked if the Old Ones ever wore face paint like the Nora, GAIA told Aloy that sometimes they would wear it to honor and celebrate their departed.

A Dia de los Muertos themed dinner led to a lot of skeletons. (There was a lot of bread)
