Malintzin (sculpt)

This is my take on Malintzin (malinche), she was a mayan woman who was enslaved by the Aztecs, and then given also as a slave to the spaniards, who then became the interpreter to Hernán Cortés. In Mexican popular history she is considered to be a traitor, but lets not forget she was a slave to the aztecs in the first place, and who knows what they did to her family. Probably she was only trying to survive, so I see her more as a strong woman in times of war, when two big civilizations collided. I could go on and on about her story, but you can find more on google :P (Im planning to work on the textures and a realtime render in marmoset :D)
