The Sacrificed and Destructive Goddesses (and Ink WIPs)

Last two of the (first) Goddess Series! Soon I can do the other six goddesses on pastel paper, and each will be twice the size of my Chinese element creatures. Yay? ._.;

First!
Mictecacihuatl (Meek-tay-kah-see-wahtl)
Queen of Mictlan, the underworld. She watched over the bones of the dead and presided over festivals for the dead.
That's pretty much it really. There wasn't much info to be found on her. So why did I pick her for the first half of this series? Well, she was born then sacrificed as an infant. I think that counts as getting screwed over and being forced into a job. She's usually portrayed with a "defleshed" body with jaw agape to swallow the stars during the day.
I've seen other artists' interpretations and some show her as a beautiful woman with many flowers decorating her hair and body, and she has face paint. This is fine, but I wanted to stick closer to the myth.
What's interesting about her is that she is considered to be "alive" still in the form of Santa Muerte, and she participates in the modern Mexican Day of the Dead. Hence why I drew the decorated skulls and the saint, and lots of flower offerings. (With burning baby head at the top, hrm). Santa Muerte isn't recognized by the Catholic Church since death is seen as a state of being rather than a "person." She also has the reputation of being the patron of the poor, criminals, prostitutes and other undesirables. But her following seems to be growing in number.
Random note: Turns out I have a small sculpture of the saint. I picked it up during a time I was looking for a statue of Grimmy. But I do believe it to be Santa Muerte; I just didn't realize till recently. Interesting. >.> SHE FOUND MEH!

The image isn't very "Aztec-ish", sorry. ):

Last one:
Kali-Ma
In short, Indian goddess of death, time, change and destruction, wife of Lord Shiva and consumer of all reality. She also has a maternal aspect which westerners tend to ignore, so she is misunderstood and is seen as demonic. (Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom, etc.)
Sadly, her main story is basically about her going crazy and needing to be stopped by a male. Some say this is a symbol of man trying to control woman's autonomy and sexuality. ): So, she's free, yet not. *snug*
I was originally going to make her look "normal," or a form in which I usually visualize her. But I decided to go for the scary/disturbing look to fit with the rest of the series. Her garland looks like the Egg-Pokemon (Eggsecute?). >.> They're traditionally skulls, but I wanted to make them look like screaming heads. Heh.
I like the hands though. :3 (Note: They're the hands which make up Kali's skirt; she has an arm skirt. Yup.)
Screaming little stick-people too. *snerk*

Other inks:
Persephone-

I decided to add the black since these look so flat without it, despite the detail.

Hel-

Least worked on, but I'm getting there. Still need to fix Balder. And I gave Garm cat eyes, which I didn't realize until after inking. AGH!

Izanami-

Can't decide if I should add the black background. Also don't know what to do for the border here.

Sedna-

Must do border. >.> So many bubbles.

I do like how these have turned out overall. I'm getting used to ink pens, so maybe I can play with them (pens) more  in the future with new techniques.

Final inks will go to dA. :3
