    Not my work of course, but I found some beautiful inspiration from James on Twitter (@WarhammerOtaku) with his Voodoo Skinks! :walkingdead:

    Had to look up who Mictēcacihuātl is, looks like either an Aztec god or something to do with the Day of the Dead... either way spot on! Google images brought up pictures of both, to include pages from the Codex Borgia:

    ...also thanks for the inspiration James! I did up one of my newest gatormen posses in the voodoo-style:

    Not quite as exquisite but they were a lot of fun to paint. I will be going back to warpaint up my barbarian orcs in the future, possibly this orktober! :rage::D:artist:

    Many people say that Dia de los Muertos (and the Skinks remind me of that) is based on an Aztec holiday honoring the dead that Mictēcacihuātl had a major part in naturally.
