This is the first contest I've ever participated in on Planet Minecraft.
So I looked at the submissions for the Aztecs and Egyptians Skin Contest, and I don't really want to point out names for participants, but I really liked some of their ideas. There was the occasional Anubis, mummies, Aztec warriors, pharaohs, and someone even decided to do Kebechet (an actual deity who was the daughter of Anubis).
It dawned on me, that I know of one deity who wasn't in the submissions when I looked. Tezcatlipoca!
To quote Wikipedia, "One of the four sons of Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl, he is associated with a wide range of concepts, including the night sky, the night winds, hurricanes, the north, the earth, obsidian, enmity, discord, rulership, divination, temptation, jaguars, sorcery, beauty, war and strife".
As for his design, I based it off of a favorite artist of mine. This is based on Jean Vervelle's design of Tezcatlipoca, you can find him on DeviantArt and ArtStation under the respective names of "Doctorchevlong" and "Jean Vervelle".
I did not design this, the skin is based on his art, not mine. Full credit for the design goes to him, I merely made it blocky for this contest. So a special thanks goes to him for the inspiration, thank you.

Edit: I just told the artist of what I did, and he's totally fine with it. To him, it's no different than how he made the Weird n' Wild Creatures in Spore. Of course, he did appreciate how I gave him all the credit (which I did to make it clear that I wasn't the artist).
Come to think of it, if Planet Minecraft holds a European mythology contest (consisting of Greek/Roman, Norse, Celtic/Irish, and Slavic mythology), I'd definitely do his interpretation of Balor! Trust me, Balor of the Evil Eye is an underrated villain.
