Tarascan warrior
Hello, dear followers of Mictlan!
Today we want to show you some concept art pieces related to the Michoacan region.
The West of Mexico is still an enigma for archaeologists: the migratory flow of the region has not yet been precisely determined, but the archaeological evidence discovered so far speaks of contacts from time immemorial with the Andean area, reflected in the ceramics and lithics found in the Tombs of the Colima region.
That is why, in order to represent the Tarascan warrior, we took into account the relations of Michoacan (a document created by the Franciscan Fray Jerónimo de Alcalá), which illustrates in details the customs and beliefs of the people of the Michoacan region, as well as their history during the Spanish conquest.
We also refer to some sculptures found in the Colima region that represent warriors from that area, who fought against the Tarascans and who, in turn, served as their mercenaries in the so-called "saltpeter wars"
This WIP was made by MarioRicoArt. If you want to know more about his work, visit his website.
Which of these variations and colors do you like the most?

Want to see our first official trailer?[/h3]
We will present it to our community at the launch of our Kickstarter campaign.
But in order to launch the campaign, we need at least 20k people to register to the page. It literally takes a minute to do so, but it would mean the world to us.
