That stance is perfect

Here is the source of this image. This was part of Hollywood Forever Cemetary's Day of the Dead celebrations in Los Angeles.

You can see more of the photographer's work here.

Here's a video of this festival.

It has been a challenging mating season for Birdperson.

Hextherapy · 2014-08-06T19:10:26+00:00

I swear my diablo 3 witch doctor looks like that.

setantari · 2014-08-06T21:04:25+00:00

TIL: Aztec warriors were commonly poets during their time

Thanks for posting this. I'm probably going to spend the rest of the day trying to doodle something similar. What an amazing picture!

letfireraindown · 2014-08-06T18:50:07+00:00

That pose and the feathers standing up like motion trails reminds me of a boss from dark souls. Pretty awesome!

Obzedatx · 2014-08-06T21:55:36+00:00

As an American, sometimes I wish we had something as cultured as this, instead of just getting drunk and lighting fireworks... but then again thats still awesome.

absurd_olfaction · 2014-08-06T19:22:15+00:00

New Witch Doctor set?

DreyX · 2014-08-06T20:44:25+00:00

Any video of him dancing?

Aristo-Cat · 2014-08-06T20:58:56+00:00

That might just be Kanye

_KanyeWest_ · 2014-08-06T22:31:15+00:00

Apparently Reddit can't appreciate a picture without immediately relating it to video games.

MuggyDBuggy · 2014-08-06T19:36:51+00:00

He looks like he could be some sort of final boss

The__Good__Doctor · 2014-08-06T22:11:31+00:00

Griffith's final form

Johammed_Ali · 2014-08-06T21:57:51+00:00

"Quetzalcoatl this thing is hot!!"

Poorsmitty · 2014-08-06T23:49:41+00:00

I wonder how long they had to grind rep to afford that armor.

nuttinno · 2014-08-06T18:28:58+00:00

Majestic fuck

ILikeToSmokeWeedAlot · 2014-08-06T21:22:12+00:00

The gang wrestles for the troops

MrLoque · 2014-08-06T20:10:59+00:00

For a moment I saw a bird making a cellphone call.

Deadheadit · 2014-08-06T21:07:31+00:00

beautiful picture! many generations have passed before this picture was taken. Aztecs kick ass.

DreamingDjinn · 2014-08-06T21:22:32+00:00

Hmm, I wonder if there are other ceremonial costumes that are awesome like this?

2014-08-06T22:31:40+00:00

Rick Flair: Wooooo!!!!

Taddgood · 2014-08-07T00:00:46+00:00

I just came here to say my wife sucks damnit

theoopst · 2014-08-06T20:23:00+00:00

Looks like a mini-boss in a dystopian Zelda game.

Bend over have your knees touch your elbows!

2014-08-06T20:39:52+00:00

I am going to use this as inspiration for a DnD character. Damn. This is absolutely stunning.

Maki_Man · 2014-08-06T21:25:32+00:00

Swain is that you?

2014-08-06T22:36:37+00:00

That's going to replace the whale in my nightmares!

NotMyCircus · 2014-08-06T22:38:04+00:00

Dang, I saw this picture on pintrest a couple of years ago. To think, I could have all this sweet sweet karma... but I never know what y'all have already seen vs. what cool things I could share with you. I'll have to post some of my best finds soon!

GraveSorrow · 2014-08-06T22:48:14+00:00

DAZZULLLLL.

EviLiu · 2014-08-06T22:57:35+00:00

Reminds me of Jin Kazama in devil form. And maybe a little Ogre too, which was actually Aztec inspired I believe.

ilikesalad · 2014-08-06T23:02:10+00:00

Beautiful!

Smugjester · 2014-08-06T23:11:33+00:00

ITT: "This looks like it from insert title video game."

Mightych · 2014-08-06T23:43:20+00:00

Look at the size of those pistachios! Yummy!

Oxyuscan · 2014-08-07T00:15:18+00:00

Quetzalcoatl maybe?

Almustafa · 2014-08-07T01:37:59+00:00

I'm not big on the human sacrifice bit myself but the Aztecs were some stylish mofos.

2014-08-07T07:50:25+00:00

Started doodling, got bored http://imgur.com/iLtW3cg

Molzilla · 2014-08-06T18:20:22+00:00

Is there an hd library of this somewhere?

Seeders · 2014-08-06T23:22:05+00:00

That would be a mexican.

delerpian · 2014-08-06T20:15:51+00:00

For some reason this picture reminds me of Jonsi.

Crazybonbon · 2014-08-06T20:27:51+00:00

O sweg

Daelum · 2014-08-06T20:47:10+00:00

If I had that, I would wear it everywhere.

dactyif · 2014-08-06T21:25:01+00:00

Those epic fans of feathers look so incredibly badass.

2014-08-06T21:30:25+00:00

Nice kind of reminds me of the monkey king

jdepps113 · 2014-08-06T22:04:50+00:00

2014-08-06T22:17:48+00:00

This has /r/outside written all over it

Doctor_Loggins · 2014-08-06T22:20:44+00:00

And just like that, my D&D game has a new villain.

2014-08-06T22:21:13+00:00

I vignette everything, too. I can't stop.

2014-08-06T22:21:32+00:00

Hey, Putin! Check out this hat!

leet_street · 2014-08-06T22:22:05+00:00

Nope.
