Description
the guy on the left is an old sketch, from like 4-5 years back. it was an old school assignment, to turn a nz myth into a comic character. the new one has no legs because i ran out space on the page. as far as i know, there are several pacific islands with tales about maui. however, the one im most familiar with is the maori legend. heres what i remember.

- i can remember him turning into a wood pigeon at some point.
- pissed off the goddess of fire, making fire widely available to man.
- starved his grandmother then taxed her magic jawbone.
- beat the sun into submission with the jawbone, extending the day.
- went fishing, bled all over his magic jawbone and then fished up the north island.
- died like a champion, buried inside the goddess of death, whilst trying to gain immortality for man. what a way to go

as far as the tattoo goes, i wanted something cool, but i really couldnt come up with anything that looked right. everything i drew didnt look maori. i need some reference.
