Title: Coyolxauhqui, Mexica moon godess
Name: Jonathan Jesael Higareda Díaz
Country: Mexico
Software: Photoshop

Coatlicue was the earth goddes of the Aztecs, and mother of Coyolxauhqui and other 400 brothers ( the stars). But Coatlicue picked up a blue feather from the ground and got pregnant. When Coyolxauhqui knew this she was outraged, and leadered her 400 brothers to kill their mother. They found coatlicue at the top of Coatepec ( snake hill) but before they could reach Coatlicue, Huitzilopochtli was born with the first Sun ray, the Sun God of war decapitated Coyolxauhqui and killed his 400 brothers.

This story represents the conflict between night and day, and how the Sun comes out of the earth's belly to kill the Moon and the stars every day

I like it very much! She reminds me of Navis in the French comic Sillage.

Hmm nice colors..Her anatomy can be improved though..In my humble opinion u can reduce the area in between her eyes..Her arms are looking so small to me as the whole anatomy and body suggests..U can work on these things apart from that real nice efforts..I really appreciate ur working..Take carez..Keep up the good work..Cheers:)

There's nothing visually to connote the sun coming out of any belly, just the warm valued snake. She doesn't look pregnant, nor like the mother of the sun, just some warrior woman.
Neither does this display any conflict between night and day, as both are wrapped around the woman, neither one really interacting at all with the other.

The bells on her cheeks look really odd. They are not a part of her, nor are they decorating her, they are just "suspended" on her cheeks...

But the general technical execution of the work is very well done. It just doesn't smoothly communicate what you write it is supposed to represent.
