Chabelita

Ok, it's a long story.

This a mascot that I sended to the TNT 20 Mascot Contest (TNT is an important Comic Convention on Mexico City) and won anything.

The topic was el Día de Muertos (something like halloween but not exactly the same) so I decided to do this kind of mixture of la Catrina (a very tipical mexican character that represents the death) and el Judas (some kind of devil, also very mexican, most related whit another date, but however present some times in el Día de Muertos).

The skulls in her breasts are a tipical candy of el Día de Muertos, and the flowers at her feets are Cempasuchil, which perfume gides the deads to the pledges.

I have not the original anymore, and this is the better photo that I could take. It's a very low quality, even if a try my best with photoshop.
