Ixpuxtequi

Greetings, community!

Hoping you’re alright and safe.

Today we show you the 3D study for the character Ixpuxtequi.

According to Nahua mythology, he was one of the four deities that inhabited the underworld. His name meant “broken face” and was represented as a human-shaped creature, but with eagle feet and without a lower jaw.
This is a being of duality, as it is considered a deity of fate, fortune and luck; however, it’s also seen as a dreadful monster and it’s feared due to the terrible things and bad luck it might inflict to lonely wanderers that cross its path late at night.

He was the husband of the goddess of fear and terror, Nexoxcho.
