Los Jelwees - Descarga Huanuqueña (197?)
I can't tell you much about this cool tune other than, it's from Peru, and given the title, I'm guessing Los Jelwees were from Huánuco. Lots of wah-wah guitar.

I NEED ADVICE!
This is my third pass at this character and this is where I’m at so far!
In case you didn’t see my previous posts, I’m writing a comic based in post-apocalyptic Peru. It’ll have major elements of the Inca empire mixed with modern elements but also more cyberpunk elements.
I know it’s a lot but I’m convinced it’ll create something unique and really interesting.
The man below will be the leader of the last surviving peoples and father of one of the main characters!
Keep in mind that their society isn’t struggling, they’re thriving. The nuclear explosion happened years prior and they’ve already rebuilt while taking inspiration from the Incan empire to run things.
So this man is their Sapa Inca, or their King. He’s meant to represent traditionalism but also the control over machinery. As he believes cybernetics and hardware are merely tools for people to use.
Just thought I should give a bit more of a backstory!
With this pass of the design I added far more details and cybernetics to him but I’m really more sure if it’s too much?
Someone said his face looked too busy and I do see that but I think I’ve been staring at it for too long.
Also, all of the textiles and patterns I’ve drawn are really just placeholders as I can only do so small with my markers and the comic will 100% be done digitally, so I’ll have far better control and fully plan on either finding or creating specific brushes for all the patterning.
Most circles in his design will actually be glowing stones that’ll shift in hue depending on the tone of the scene he’s in.
There’s some parts I don’t like about his design like his boot and I’m not fully sold on the design of the cybernetics as I’ve seen some more sleeker designs that I might use instead. But I’m really not sure.
If anyone has any advice or ideas or even critiques them I’d love to hear them!
Being culturally accurate is also extremely important to me, so if anyone who is more versed in that department has any advice or criticisms then please let me know.
Especially if anything is offensive.

Sorry for the tagging but you all commented on the last part and I thought you might want to see the next one! There was also others I wanted to tag but for some reason tumblr wasn’t letting me! So I’m so sorry for that!!

Recent discoveries have revealed a vibrant #cultural tapestry – from a Wari settlement to sacred Inca oracle site. The intricate ceramics, textiles, and unique connection between Pachacámac and the Tiwanaku kingdom, paint a vivid picture of pre-Hispanic Andes.

Would you like to pick fresh fruit from your patio garden? If so, I can recommend the Cape Gooseberry (Physalis peruviana).
These adaptable plants do well in large containers as long as they have plenty of sun, fertiliser, and water. The berries, which develop in their own papery lantern-like husks, have a taste similar to passion fruit. The name “Cape Gooseberry” is misleading because the plant is actually native to the Andes. The moniker Cape Gooseberry became popular in the English speaking world because the plant was first introduced to South Africa before making its way to the UK.
