Solution

Tropical Olmec. Within my proposals, I could not miss the so-called "mother" of the Mesoamerican cultures. For this reason, I have designed an illustration of a transmedial type that has the most characteristic of the front; The famous Olmec Heads and an animal that lives in the area where this culture flourished and which gave rise to many tales and legends: The Tlacuache. The chromatic palette was generated from the colors of the selvatic zones of the Mexican southeast.

Olmeca Tropical. (Dentro de mis propuestas, no podía faltar la llamada "madre" de las culturas mesoamericanas. Por tal motivo, he diseñado una ilustración de tipo transmedial que tiene por la parte frontal lo más característico de ella; las famosas Cabezas Olmecas y por la parte posterior un animal que vive en la zona donde floreció esta cultura y que dio origen a muchas cuentos y leyendas: El Tlacuache). La paleta cromática fue generada a partir de los colores de las zonas selváticas del sureste mexicano.
