mavuika redesign

this and chasca's redesign are one of the VERY DIFFERENT looks from the genshin original, but god am i proud of both of them. mavuika's design is so fanservice centered and completely went against anything that we knew about natlan prior to its release, which was both disappointing and insulting,,,,

information; mavuika, or mahuika, is a māori deity of fire who in some versions is the sibling of the goddess of death, hence why i made her so intimidating and terrifying [+ the fact that natlan is the nation of WAR]. mahuika is one of the more known deities, although the presentations of her were very few. fun fact; mahuika is the mother of māui, who gives fire to the humans from her nail! that's why you can see in my redesign that one of the nails is missing. i also really loved the idea of lava hair, where the insides is golden and most hot and shining.... the shading was really fun with it. i also attempted to make the face tattoo [tā moko, permanent marking, tattootists are seen as sacred] have lines similar to flames but also follow the structure of the face.

hi hi hi hi hi hi i saw ninjago whale shark oc and could not control the questions not forced obvi but tell me everythi g

thank you for a question!! we share the same love for aquatic-themed ocs<33 there's a lot about him, but i'm gonna go with some (mostly combat) facts:

• He is born and raised in Māori culture, altough he is not 100% pureblood. They cherish their roots and practices their traditions a lot. Example on the right, where his "haka" is shown - "traditionally, haka was a customary way to welcome visiting tribes, but it also served to invigorate warriors as they headed into battle. It was a show of physical prowess but also an embodiment of cultural pride, strength, and unity"

• They're pacifist, but when there's no other option, they have mostly defence tactic - he uses elemental powers (minerals) to build up gauntlet and other armory parts. Also tries to immobalize opponent by trapping them in minerals

• Despite their size and quite long tail, Laz is quite swift and agile, using his mass against opponent. Altough they don't use these skills often.

Art requests and asks are open!
