Apache girls undergo na'ii'ees, or a Sunrise Ceremony, when they hit puberty. Besides dancing for four nights straight, white adobe clay is poured on them to symbolize the White Painted Woman, who is the Apache version of Eve.

a sloppy salmon. just something quick.

This is based of the Caddo tale "The Voice, the Flood, and the Turtle". A woman gives birth to four monsters that grow really fast until they are huge and stand back to back until they fuse together and then there is a flood.

based off Inuit Orca design. tried something new, but it didn't work quite how i wanted. i will have to try it again.

A very quick drawing of more bowl stuff.

The Mimbres believed that the sky was a bowl covering the earth, which goes with that burial bowl business. And of course there are legends about reaching the spirit world through a hole in the sky.

i dont know what day it is

anyway trying to catch up on monthies thought i'd try lasso tool and be cool like marina, but i dont really like it.

hopi kachina doll

i can't find my stylus, but the touchpad can suffice

Coatlique, the mother god from Aztec lore

did you know::  the 15 foot idol of Coatlique was dug up by the Spanish, but was then reburied not because it was terrible to behold, but because it could not be explained how a "savage" race could carve it.

WHO'S THAT FERTILITY DEITY

working on making a flash run cycle/puppet test with a totem pole. i don't think i'll finish today, but here's the top part of it

Another bowl drawing from me!

I missed a few days. And I probably will again! Hooray! =[
Here is a quick crappy drawing.

This is based off a Mimbres burial tradition of putting a bowl on the deceased's head after cracking a hole in the center as a way between worlds.

based off a Navaho sand painting

Hi Hi

this is another member of monthies! hooray! i am actually the founder because i was the only one with a computer at the time of it's spawning.

this here is a fuzzy Kachina. Katchina's come from southwestern Native American tribes like Hopi, and they are really cool.

it's very washed out, bleh...

i want to do the one with the castle-thing on his head and the Squash one next

Native American day 3

Keeping with the theme of masks for now:

Based of this mask of Moctezuma which is a mosaic made on a real mummified human head!
