Here is a work in progress of a 3D model character, based on a NPC fisherman who has been infected with smallpox, a very infectious disease reaching the Americas in the 1500s.
Since indigenous people had no natural immunity against smallpox, historians have estimated that this disease and other European diseases reduced the indigenous population of North and South America by up to 90 percent.
We are committed to representing the life of the Nahua people in all its aspects, allowing the players to take a closer look at the real lives of Mexica civilizations.
We are very proud of our character development (have you already checked our post about Tezcatlipoca, for example?) and our team is always working hard to create the most accurate and amazing characters for Mictlan.
This model, in particular, is a great collaborative effort by:
- Sergio Baca Ojeda (Mexico): face concept art
- Yesenia Barrera (Mexico): earrings and fishing spear concept art
- Angel Esparza (Mexico): 3D model
- Oso Azteca (Mexico): Video
- Ben Yam Shi (Dominican Republic): Music
- Guillermo Alarcon, creative director of Mictlan (Mexico | Japan): character model clothing, face and body texturing; character investigation
