What can I say, I love Blood Angels ❤ And I'm glad to know it's mutual because they come to my aid whenever I feel down and want to bleed inks on marker paper and mentally rave to 70s synthesizers.
And big thanks to Soyuzmultfilm for the amazing animated short inspired by Moche/Mochica mythology. It's so visually stunning and trippy and more importantly it shows proper research of the source material.

The Healer & The Jaguar
Moche Huapaya x Miguel O'Haha
-----------------------------------------------
He's not the threat. - She is.
The Avatar of The Spider-God Aia Paec, Moche comes from Tawanti - a 1992 version of Peru never colonized by the Spanish.
Protector of her people, the Inca-Spider is a ruthless warning to all invaders, a nightmare to the dishonorable, and a servant to all of her people.
To the people of Tawanti, Miguel is the Runa-Utu-Runcu, The Man of Jaguar Spirit
To the people of her village, he is AncuApu, The Blue Mountain that came from the future.
Both in the field and at HQ, Moche and Miguel are a ruthless team, cause they're both devout workaholics. But under that, they're all soft, mushy, and traditional.
Sure, they're ruthless vigilantes that'll stop at nothing. But they also took 4 months to hold hands and go on ballroom salsa dancing dates every Wednesday like an old couple.
And that doesn't even start on the huge family they have together.
[Wanted to draw Moche and Miguel height accurate SO BAD so I challenged myself to draw her without making her look small or innocent next to him - SO THIS HAPPENED]

Ear ornaments from the Moche culture in modern-day Peru, 400-700 CE. They feature either a birdlike human or a humanlike bird, perhaps an owl. Ornaments like these would have been worn in the stretched earlobes of noblemen or women.
