Description Hey guys!
Thought it was time to FINALLY make an MLP character to represent myself.
Fortune was the initial attempt, but she wound up taking on a life all her own.

So I decided instead to go way out there.Β I am now an ahuizotl, just like Daring Do's Ahuizotl. <3
There really aren't enough non-pony sonas... But at first I didn't want to make her an ahuizotl because I didn't like the idea that there are a bunch more ahuizotls other than our classic Ahui in Equestria. But then I realized a couple things:

1) She's just a visual representation of myself.
She's not actually going to appear in any stories I do, so what I make her doesn't matter.
She's the artist (me), not an independent character.

2) Ahuizotl may be the only one of his kind in Equestria, but there could still be more SOMEWHERE in the world. Like in the jungles outside Equestria. Afterall, Tirek came from outside the borders. Our Ahui could have just wound up there on accident before being taken in by his tribe of ponies. And the idea that ahuizotls are a rare species found lurking in the darkest edges of the world is inherently bad@$$! XD

And ultimately, I think it fits!Β I've got a character with hands, so I don't have to worry about holding my drawing pencil in my mouth if I don't want to be a unicorn. And I don't have to worry about representing myself as a person with a simple picture stamped on my butt.
I'm really liking the color scheme I picked. With our Ahuizotl being literally the ONLY one of his kind we've ever seen in the show, I was allowed to pretty much do whatever I wanted. But I still tried to make it somewhat believable looking. And it works with my blond hair and blue eyes of course. Fun fact, the main shade of gold on her body is actually taken from Ahuizotl's pet cheetah.

Anyway, I hope you guys like my new MLP avatar here.
Let me know what you think in the comments and have a lovely morning/day/evening. <3

Read artist comments hon.
They're called ahuizotls. Same species as Daring Do's nemesis.

And thank you. Glad you like her.

I did read the artist comments, but I wasn't sure if that was the official name or just an assumption XDΒ 

I guess they are called Ahuizotls---what else do you call them?

And you did a good job on her color scheme.

...you see that thing over there? It's my mind... yeah... I was mind-blown there...

Let's just say I was raised learning all about the Greek and Roman mythologies, but not so much Aztec so... yeah

wow.

They sound scary.

But the Shadozotl is nice, right? XD

Hmmm... I wonder how my ponysona and your Shadozotl would meet... that would be an interesting meta-type fan fic.

She is literally me as a an ahuizotl. So it's not likely she'll appear in any of my ShadOVerse art. But she'll probably appear in some silly meta stuff.

Everytime i see a mlp sona who ISN'T a pony, it gives me a bit more of hope for this fandom.
Although i could recommend you to give it a bit more ''female'' body shape, so it won't look like a recoloured Ahuizotl.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

ShadOBabe In reply to Daisuler1994 [2016-01-14 14:31:42 +0000 UTC]

Heh, believe me hon. I've spent enough hours drawing Ahuizotl to know this is not a recolor. Ahui's a lot buffer than this. And seriously, any more "feminine" (especially if we're talking human-like feminine) would look kind of stupid. After all, if you put a male and female jaguar together, the only outward difference would be size. Same with ahuizotls in my artwork.

Glad you like the concept though!

Daisuler1994 In reply to ShadOBabe [2016-01-15 03:25:43 +0000 UTC]

I suppose you're right in that, since i was thinking in a concept of mine of female Diamond dogs.
And i thought that concept could have been applied here.

ShadOBabe In reply to Daisuler1994 [2016-01-15 04:04:29 +0000 UTC]

Fair enough! I went and looked at your diamond dogs!
They're really cute! I need to hurry up and design more of my other OCs.
I have an idea for a whole Circus and carnival, and two of the performers are Diamond Dogs. <3

But yeah, it'll help when I finally draw ShadOZotl with Ahuizotl and the other characters.
Be easier to see the differences, particularly in size.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. 83

Yes hon, I know this.
Don't know why people always feel the need to educate me on things I've already researched.

Yes, there was an Aztec ruler called Ahuizotl.Β Just like the mythological beast ahuizotl.
The Ahuizotl from the show is based on the latter and is possibly referencing the former.
And it's to be assumed he didn't just materialize from thin air, so there must be others out there.

SwankyOrc01 [2015-12-19 15:47:11 +0000 UTC]

Maybe you could move the eyes a bit further up their head? I mean I know they're supposed to look like this, but it's just odd in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I really do love the design and creativity you put into this character. It's great.

It's just, I think the eyes are where the nose should be.

I actually like it the way it is.
If it's good enough for Ahuizotl from the show, it's good enough for me.

Glad you like her. 83

ShadOBabe In reply to SwankyOrc01 [2015-12-19 16:01:17 +0000 UTC]

The oddness is actually one of the things I like the most. I like that it's different. It's a mythological creature, so it can look like anything.Β Plus since an ahuizotl is a predatory animal, the eyes make sense. Predators have forward facing eyes to see their prey. If the eyes were farther up the head, it would be more like a horse, which is a prey animal. It would be a wider field of vision, but tougher to see straight ahead.

Heh, that makes sense. I would have never thought about that.

I actually kinda like the oddness, too. Cause, that's what makes it original. N stuff.
