Tajin with the macuahuitl, by Teagan R Geneviene

My self-imposed absence from the blogosphere continues, I’m sad to say.  Those of you who are reading my “Dead of Winter” series know that, in addition to the story, I create black and white images to begin each chapter.  Suddenly I realized that I had never made an image of Tajín.
 
Tajín Ah Tzenul is a swordsman and sworn companion/protector to Zasha.  The weapon he prefers is a fierce macuahuitl.  His homeland is Bandihar.  In creating that country, I drew a little bit of inspiration (not much) from the ancient Mayan civilization.  However, the geography and topology I use for Bandihar is directly inspired by that part of our world.  Like many people from Bandihar, Tajín is stocky of build, and has a hawk-nose and a coppery complexion.  He’d rather not mention it, but he is related to the “ahau” or emperor of Bandihar.
 
Many times, I’ve remarked that I would like to write a novella of the backstory of how Tajín and Zasha came to know one another.  That story is mentioned a couple of times in Dead of Winter.  The color image I made below shows Tajín at that time, in full Bandihari battle armor.

Now I need to get back to work on Dead of Winter.  I won’t forget The Armadillo Files — and I hope you don’t either.  I’ll be back with Fang and Dilly and company.  Last weekend I wasn’t able to accomplish anything because I couldn’t stay focused.  So, regardless of how much I enjoy and need to communicate with you, I’d better close the comments.  Hugs on the wing.
