Description The third in a series of 5 images influenced by the Maya art style.

- See the first here , a king/lord.
- The second , the death god A.
- The fourth , the rain god Chac.

This one is just some dude sitting. I believe this was the first one I did, so I'm still working out kinks. He’s probably a lord or noble, but not a king since he’s not on a throne. Behind him is a stack of codices (books) and in front is a censor. At this point I don’t know enough glyphs to write anything interesting, so these were taken from another vessel which I foolishly didn’t write down. It was something very generic from what I recall. Must be more careful in the future, don’t want to get in trouble for ancient plagiarization.
