These neat shadow boxes showcasing miniature replicas of
Pre-Columbian artifacts reminded me of how some
Anime shows (like
RahXephon's Dolems) can successfully draw inspiration for some mecha designs and story ideas straight from the archaeological sites (particularly
Aztec and
Mayan in the case of
RahXephon) and relics. The sample above focuses on the striking multicolor
Nazca pottery and some reproductions of the famous dessert geoglyphs: the
Nazca Lines.
Chancay Culture shadow box featuring miniature replicas of typical pottery figurine vessels. According to some lore, similar figurines called
Cuchimilcos were hung at home entrances to ward off evil spirits.
Using some photo references of
Nazca pottery vessels to give an original twist to a
Manga robot sketch conceived as a shell-form transforming robot.
Mecha early concept based on the
Nazca "Killer Whale" motif and colored with some
Faber Castell Pitt Artist brush pens.
