Donají Family Portrait
Share
March 21st is Donají's birthday!
This is a February reward release.
I had wanted to do a family portrait for a long time.
From left to right:
- Béelia (Donají's mother).
- Donají herself.
- Yela (Cousin).
- Gueela (Aunt)
- Bio' (Eldest cousin).
Some people may be seeing Gueela for the first time. She's Béelia's older sister, and has a very frail health so she doesn't go out often. She's the mother of Bio' and Yela.
Also, a few people have noted an absence of men or elderly in Donají's family. Aside from Donají's missing father, her grandparents, along Bio' and Yela's father, died before she was born. Here's Donají's (spoiler-free) family tree:
Shi-Gu responds:
Thank you!
Qué lindas, qué tiernas todas. 😍
Coming from a Zapotec (or even Mixtec, who knows) bloodline (given my father is from Oaxaca), I genuinely wish what my ancient ancestors and family look like. Then again, I like to wonder. That's what I got from this art. I really like it.
Shi-Gu responds:
Glad you were able to connect to this piece in such a personal level.
Thank you so much!
A man by the name of DJ Peach Cobbler has had the knowledge of the conquest of mesoamerica by the spanish in my veins, for gold, god and the unspoken!
