Ne rokćite, dati će vam se! (1)
Dobro jutro. Kakva god se kava skuha, dobra je. Sa kockom šećera, moja a Mirtina sa dvije. Prebrojavamo ranjenike nakon bitke za “Budalinu dolinu”. Jer kažu stari i mudriji pa i ćelaviji ljudi: “Pizda je đava”. Pa kako i ne bi bio đava!? Cimnula me je sinoć u 20:30 a prestali smo sa komplimentima i drugim sitnijim detaljima, nakon dva dana i dvije noći. Susjeda ozdol, je mislila da selimo kutnu…

Isabela Exploring Her Roots
I've been wanting to draw this concept for a long time: Isa painting herself with temporary jagua tattoos with Muisca symbols.
Inspiration:
John Leguizamo's tunjo tattoo
A Muisca woman (I cropped the full photo because I don't want this to get flagged)
A Muisca dress

mas de Bacatá?
claro que si aquí están presentes los personajes que acompañaran a Zazipa en esta historia mágica, llena de las culturas doradas de Colombia prehispánica.
Zazipa es un fuerte guerrero muisca, emisario de los dioses y esta en busca de respuestas a sus inquietudes, no se engañen no es pequeño, solo que Imura es una mujer muy alta. Imura es una guerrera Quimbaya, fuerte y hermosa, algo arrogante y malhumorada pero siempre dispuesta a darlo todo por proteger a la pequeñita Eretama, princesa del dorado y al muchacho de ojos dorados que a su juicio es "un enanito mandón y torpe".
muchas de las culturas doradas tienen animales sagrados en común, mas que nada la serpiente dorada. Muyso es un criatura mágica , glotón, dulce e inquietó, además de que es solo un niño, Eretama es la hija del cacique Guatavita, de la leyenda del dorado de Colombia y por ultimo tenemos a los tunjos, luego los presentare individualmente; seres mágicos que eran ofrecidos en las lagunas en Colombia sobre todo en el territorio muisca para agradecer a los dioses por su bondad. en este caso tiene el deber de cuidar a la princesa de cualquier mal. este montón de personajes son los principales de Bacatá.
el comic será publicado en la feria del libro del año 2023, pero claro que habrá una preventa para recolectar fondos para las primeras 1000 copias y esas preventas vendran con material exclusivo. puedes seguir mis redes sociales:

Research on El Dorado - The Lost City of Gold
ORIGIN / LOCATION
The legend of El Dorado originates from South America, particularly from the Muisca people of Colombia. Originally, El Hombre Dorado (The Golden Man) or El Rey Dorado (The Golden King) was the term used by the Spanish in the 16th century to describe a mythical tribal chief/king (called zipa) who was said to cover himself in gold dust and submerged into Lake Guatavita.
Lake Guatavita was located in the Andes Mountains near Bogotá, Colombia and t's a natural lake surrounded by lush vegetation and has been the subject of various expeditions and searches for gold.
In the Muisca territories, there were a number of natural locations considered sacred, including lakes, rivers, forests and large rocks. People gathered here to perform rituals and sacrifices mostly with gold and emeralds and Lake Guatavita was one of them.
THE TRIBAL CEREMONY
According to the legend, the tribal chief (zipa) covered himself in gold dust before paddling out onto Lake Guatavita on a raft. He would then ceremonially wash off the gold into the lake as an offering to the underwater god while his attendants threw objects made of gold, jewels, emeralds, and precious stones into the lake such as tunjos.
SPANISH CONQUEST
The legend of El Dorado played a significant role in the Spanish conquest of the Americas. Francisco Pizarro and Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada were two of them, driven by the desire to find the fabled city of gold and exploit its riches.
EXPLORATIONS AND EXPEDITIONS
During the 16th and 17th centuries, Europeans still fascinated by the New World, believed that this hidden city of immense wealth existed. Over the centuries, numerous explorers and adventurers have sought to uncover the truth behind the legend of El Dorado. Expeditions were launched, and tales of lost cities and hidden treasures abounded but the actual El Dorado has never been found and all of it ended in failure.
The illustration of El Dorado's location on maps only made matters worse, as it made some people think that the city of El Dorado's existence had been confirmed. It's existence on Lake Parime was marked on numerous maps until its existence was disproved in a Latin America expedition.
SYMBOLISM AND CULTURAL ASPECTS
The legend of El Dorado has come to symbolize the allure of wealth, the quest for riches and the exploration of the unknown. It has inspired many works of literature, art and film, perpetuating its mystique through the ages.
While the literal El Dorado may not have been found, archaeological discoveries in the region have uncovered evidence of the Muisca civilization and their intricate goldwork. These discoveries shed light on the cultural significance of gold in pre-Columbian societies. It has left a lasting legacy on Colombian culture and serves as a reminder of the rich history of the Americas before the arrival of European colonizers.
** These were information from background research I did since I wanted to have an idea about the actual legend of El Dorado and its story since it inspired my base concept.

Dvojni pak jatački : Šego i Tunjo!
– Dobar dan…jedno ladno „Seljačko svijetlo pivo – ko ga provari nije sa sela“ tako piše na etiketi, molim. I kolegi za stolom, eno onom jedno piće odnesite, po volji njegovoj.
“Naravno!”– skrušeno reče konobar brišući čaše. Kada je stao sa brisanjem čaša ode on do stola, nešto popriča sa gostom, i vrati se za šank. Uzeo je jednu visoku čašu za pivo stavio pred mene i otvorio sa zubima bocu te…
