I'm redesigning some Arc I folks! Calisto is my second victim, since I think I could do better with showing off his eagle/jaguar duality with Yolotli.
Calisto much prefers the word "wizard" to "nahual/nahualtin/nagual" since he doesn't use dream-based magic like them, instead using tools and his outfit, which is meant to help him do acrobatics, to get the job done in battle. I like how it's turning out, but I want to tighten the design a little more so to give the outfit a bit more plausibility in battle. I also want it to be a tad more vibrant...maybe a dark green is a better base for the feathers instead of the red-brown?
Extra worldbuilding stuff under the cut!
In Lucero, some mages carry on the tradition of indigenous warriors of ages past: they receive feathers based on magic prowess, and are allowed/encouraged to incorporate eagle/jaguar motifs into their clothing. It's also common to incorporate the deities Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca's many forms in their clothing too, as seen in his goggles/hairpiece mix and his belt.
#oc tag: calisto#sidhedust art#character design#concept art#I haven't found a term that's as snappy as ''torchbearer'' for Lucero yet#so I call his faction the order of the serpent and Yolotlo's order of the jaguar#because I think calling them ''serpent'' and ''jaguar'' in spanish would sound so silly LOL#I think ''nagual'' for Yolotli's faction fits because they still have the mischievous and powerful reputation nagual always had#BUT the issue is some mages even in institutions use the plane of dreams and illusion magic too#eh. It'll come to me as I hash it out. I think I'll keep it as is tbh
