As you have seen in our previous posts, Mexica priests dressed in very simple clothes for their daily chores, using maxtla (loincloth) and xicollis (nightgowns), reserving the extravagant ornaments for the festivities to celebrate deities.
For this priest of Mictlantecuhtli we opted for a more fantastic approach, although based on our previous studies of pre-Hispanic clothing and iconography: as you know by now, in Mictlan we always strive for a balance between fantasy and historical accuracy.
Legends, myths, facts, history: Mictlan has it all! We're aiming at including in our game the most incredible stories, and we will continue updating you with news, concept arts, sneak&peeks of our creative process, so make sure to follow us on our social media channels to stay updated!
