# About me

Hi! My name is Louise, and I'm a freelance 2D animator and comic artist.

I am the director and animator behind the short film 'Leyenda Del Quinto Sol' ►youtu.be/Ed2jUq35pMg

I am also the creator of 'What's New Under Tonatiuh?,' an online comic strip featuring the antics of Nahua gods. whats-new-under-tonatiuh.tumbl…

Currently I am collaborating with the writer of the comic 'Nahualo' to produce an exciting graphic novel series called 'Sun King Tonatiuh', set in modern day Mexico. It is an urban fantasy comic updated once a week that follows the adventures of Yohualtzin, a young university student, and an ousted god who seeks to reclaim his throne before the world as we know it succumbs to the primordial chaos… www.facebook.com/ReySolTonatiu…

Ever since childhood, it has been my dream to make a mythology comic. I have always loved telling stories, drawing, learning about different cultures, mythology, and history… It is something I have always found important; they are ancient stories from the great tapestry of humanity and something beautiful to cherish and be proud of. I wanted to make something fun and accurate, without its liberties undermining or butchering the source material. This is how 'What’s New Under Tonatiuh?' and the animated short 'Leyenda del Quinto Sol' were born – Frequently humorous, and attempted faithful adaptations of Nahua mythology, created to capture the interest of those who might be turned away from the tired old words of a dusty history book. Indigenous culture is alive and flowing, and so too is the mythology. My content is never created to replace a history book – it is simply there to encourage people to pick up that history book.

Sorry if this is sudden, but, I'm so happy I found your profile. I've looked through your gallery a million times already and can't get over how creative it is! Your style is so cute and I've fallen in love with it.   You're probably busy but I hope that when you get the chance, you'll draw more.

Hello! Omg ... thank you so much! This is so, so sweet of you and means so much to me!
Actually, I have been drawing... I have kind of moved away a little from DA because it dried up a bit, but you can follow me in loads of other places. I have a tumblr, FB... just search me up. FB is where I am most active right now. I am making an animated film of the legend of the 5th sun. If you are interested you can add me on there (my personal profile is Louise Fogerty) and I can show you some behind the scenes stuff heheeh! >w>  I am working with the artist Daniel Parada (Kamazotz on here).  Anyway, thank you SO so much. I am so happy you like my art!

I fell in love with your gallery at first sight! Your knowledge
of the Aztecs and depiction of their artworks and hieroglyphics is quite extensive.
You've gained a watcher of your wonderful art!

Oh my, thank you so incredibly much! Really, that means so much to me that you enjoyed what I have done with the gods. ;_; I make it for people just like you! I plan to do so much more with this so it truly fills my little heart up knowing that you like my project. I wanted to make a comedy that still stays true to the original material and teaches people a thing or two too. Thank you deeply for your comments and appreciation. <3 They motivate me so much.

You're welcome!
You've quite the knack with your abilities to weave history
and comedy to this interesting era. The great cities of Tenochtitlan and Teotihuacan
once more will come to life thru your knowledge and wonderful artwork.
I'm happy to know that I've given you the inspiration to continue
with your project.

Heyy, no problem, and thanks for the watch! Your work looks epic... and, you're in animation too! I just finished my first year of Animation at University and it's great fun. *w* I love how you have actually researched properly for your art - its quite refreshing and caught my eye, well done! ^w^

Shi-Gu In reply to Mytforskare [2015-06-11 16:13:41 +0000 UTC]

Nice! So you do animation as well
It is fun indeed, but a lot of work

Well, it's easy to research when you've lived surrounded by the prehispanic imagery your whole life. I can go out of my house, take the subway and be in different kinds of ruins in just minutes. I live pretty near to the ruins of Templo Mayor. I'm glad you like my works, I'm amazed to find foreign people who like prehispanic myths and even more, draw them so accurately!
You've caught my eye too, so it's a pleasure to watch each other

Mytforskare In reply to Shi-Gu [2015-06-11 18:01:18 +0000 UTC]

Yep! Oh god, I second that... I had several all nighters throughout the year, and worked on my animation University work constantly, but I was also more ambitious than I needed to be ahaha! It feels good with a break though! : 3

I so want to see them one day. I ought to have been going to Mexico this year (well, now) but my travel companion had an issue with her passport so we had to put it off until next year, which suuuucked, but oh well. AHaha, people often say that... and well I can't blame you to be honest. Not many people know much about mesoamerica here, and we get so bombarded by terrible representations in popular culture. There is a fine line between taking liberties and being 'accurate.' Thank you so much! ^w^

Shi-Gu In reply to Mytforskare [2015-06-17 17:02:06 +0000 UTC]

I did the same thing! Here I am, the only fool in class to add a winged character and do almost 40 shots, while the class average was 16 XD
I went to school from monday to sunday, most of the time over 13 hours a day and also a couple all nighters!
But it was worth it as you say -v-

Well, the ruins and pyramids aren't going anywhere, if anything, something new might be discovered by the time you come visit

I SO agree with you! People can take liberties and be creative with what they got, we are not historians, we create stories inspired by the cultures, but we at least gotta do some research about the topic!

Hi! How are you? I am really looking forward on seeing more from your comic! And I hope you are doing well! How are you? :3 Ah, I wanted to ask you something! Would you let me draw Tona? I wanted to draw him in a realistic style! And as I am Mexican he is really familiar to me but Doyle have head canons on how does he looks? Like, do you have a model or something? I just wanted him to look as you imagine him hahah and as I told you I think your realistic drawing you made of him looks like me haha thank you so much! And I hope everything is okay

Hello! I just finished university for this year, so I am currently recovering from a year of all nighters and an average of 4 hours sleep per night lol! So I shall be making more comic shortly! ;3 I hope you are doing well too!

HUUUUUH! OMG! Of course you may draw Tonatiuh! adsdfdghfjgfgdfsfdgh I feel so flattered! Hmmm well, I never really had an actual model for him! He just sort of popped into my mind, but you can take his design to be exaggerated features as I draw them quite cartoony. Thank you sooooooo much! ;_; Take care!
