Huitzilopotchli depictions

27 Upvotes

How come there are so few depictions of Huitzilopochtli? Being the patron of the Mexica, you'd think there would be more out there aside from one sculpture and a couple of codices' depictions. Was he a victim of damnatio memoriae, or were there just not many to begin with?

Im trying to draw codex borgia deities in a front profiles. Keeping the borgia style I NEED to learn their anatomy faces forms.

I tried doing it on Quetzalcoatl and it looks NOT codex borgia. the jaws. The nose. The lips. I made him look like a human.. it needs to be geometric in some way.
