Missions of California

[unicyclingmom]

Good job. The art is great and the music is nice. It would be awesome if you narrated it with the story of Father Serra. We were studying him today and I found your video.

The one thing the Spanish hated over the Natives in California was the Missionaries that constantly stirred up rebellions among the colonies. Hell, the Mexican Independence War was started by a Priest.

In Mexico we still live in Haciendas, Estancias, and Ranchos.....Also Pueblos which are bigger than Haciendas.

We are directly descended from the very first Spanish and still own family Haciendas or Ranchos in Mexico.

These mexican women come from Haciendas and Ranchos in Mexico. Look up in youtube:

"BELLEZAS ALTEÑAS LOS ALTOS DE JALISCO"

We live by farming, livestock and we make cheeses from goat milk...eat cactus fruit, use Stone Ovens shaped like domes.

We still live that life.

@mexeagle001 Stone Ovens have been in use since ancient mexico to the present.

[mexeagle001]

I am mexican and those Mission of California look like...."Haciendas" Haciendas are large scale farms...then second are "Estancias" and third are "Ranchos" all forms of living to survive....farming and cattle ranching.

That is how we live in Mexico and it is our lifestyle since the time when Spain colonized California all the way down to Panama as..."Nuevo Espana." Then we delcared independence to become....Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and so on.

Point is...it is our lifestyle

LEGEND OF MT. DIABLO PART TWO...The devil showed him a vision of a continuous stream of Anglo-Saxon's coming across the continent from their settlements on the East Coast to populate California in a "preview" of Westward Expansion. The devil told the monk, if he gave over his heart and soul to him. That he could postpone this from happening for awhile. The monk refused and around 25 years later the Gold Rush did indeed happen. It also brought Chinese and South Americans besides Europeans....

THE LEGEND OF MT. DIABLO PART ONE.......There's a very interesting legend, that you all might find intriguing. A Spanish Monk who sat atop the Summit of "Mt. Diablo". Here in my beloved "Central California". Surveyed all that appeared before him. Which was even more an awesome sight than nowadays (it's still pretty cool, hopefully Schwartzeneggar doesn't shut it down). Due to the landscape not having been ruined by pollution and suburban development. The Devil appeared before the shocked monk...

THE LEGEND OF MOUNT DIABLO , PART ONE.....There's an interesting legend that you all might wish to hear. A Spanish Monk stood atop the Summit of "Mount Diablo". Here in my beloved "Central" California. Surveying all that he could see before him. Which was then even more an awesome view, given there was no pollution or urban sprawl (It's still a view to behold, but for best results go after a rain storm). All of a sudden the Devil appeared before the shocked monk and showed him a vision....

Keep up the amazing work, I've never heard of a great artist to be compared to Michelangalo for drawing Manga, but I'm sure you'll get there!

[avalonwings16]

This is a great tribute to American history that is often overlooked. The details are amazing, including not just the people but the towns and daily objects used as well.

[RiaAndTrinix]

Very nice, a shoe-in for your project. As always, you blend anime with american history quite nicely.

[residentmagnum]

your art work is wonderful
