Emperor Awesome

BOOOOM BABY!

This is my entry for 's 23th contest: Historical Disney. The theme is to draw a Disney character and in our drawing, to represent the historical period during which this character is supposed to live. (Clothing, historical events etc)

So, as I have always been *fascinated* by Mayan/Incan/Aztec civilizations, I chose Emperor Kuzco from The Empreror's New Groove He's so hilarious and sassy; one of my fav Disney characters!!
I knew that they named him after the ancient Incan city of Cusco, in the southeastern Peru. So I did a lot of research about ancient Incan clothing and architecture (plus a bit of imagination) and finally, I came up with this design. Some images I drew inspiration from: [link] [link] [link] [link] And for the background, I found that most Incan buildings were made of stones: [link]
I also tried to keep some characteristics that are unique to Kuzco, like those blue earings and the red tunic. And that gesture he always does with his hands, but that failed a bit
But generally I'm very happy with how it turned out!^^
