This is "Xa" the main character of my personal project called "Warlords of Aztlan" she is based on "Coyolxauhqui" the Aztec goddess of the moon. I included my design process from her silhouettes to the final render.
The story behind her design is Aztec gods being summoned to a futuristic Mexico and them merging with technology OR NOT depending on their values and desire for power. When exploring Xa, I wanted to take advantage of her cause of death; being chopped into pieces (symbolizing the phases of the moon) by her youngest brother Huitzi. So now she gets to use metal extensions of her body to move and attack at will, her goal is to be more powerful than her brother and stop him from his plan, she knows he only desires chaos and power so she will keep fighting until he is out.
Also because she created Nantli (the big Axolotl dog-like creature) and Huitzi killed all of her offspring's when they were just babies and he only did it to weaken Xa´s army.
Part of her concept is based on the original story that she was killed by her half brother the god of the sun and cut in pieces (symbolizing the phases of the moon). In this world technology has enable humans to merge with technology, and the gods were able to merge their mythical powers with engines.
