The art of the forty-five
Each energy full screen, and where every feature comes from
What it is
Forty-five energies, each with its full-screen plate.
Where every feature of the drawing comes from is stated feature by feature: this headdress from this plate, this colour from this description. What has no support is declared as a drawing decision.
They are not copies of the codices. They are the project's own art, made out of what the codices and the chronicles describe, with the provenance of each feature in plain view.
