4. The "before" version has very primitive, Apocalypto style outfits for the crowds and ball players similar to what a lot of the left side of
>>11309698 has. The revised version gives them more authentic clothing, though mostly for the people close to the foreground, the ones way in the back are less obviously wrong but still aren't "right" either. Still, it's fine. The ballplayers are unchanged, sadly
5. Trees were added to the background, likely to reference the importance of gardens within the city (I say "likely" because the feedback that was given didn't directly suggest adding trees, and I assume it was done since my friend's feedback had an off-hand line about how the ballgame isn't a particularly Aztec specific bit of infanstructure and was a pan-mesoamerican thing, wheras the Aztec love of big botanical gardens is a bit more uniquely Aztec and would have been his pic for a location) , and there would have been some within the precinct
6. For the Jaguar warrior, the "before" art's body adornments are entirely fantasy/media stereotype nonsense, again like much of the left side of
>>11309698. The revison has an actual Jaguar style Tlahuiztli warsuit on (fun fact, these were not actually made of jaguar pelt usually, but rather thick cotton, and then a mosaic of tens of thousands of feathers (and that suit was in turn worn over icahuipilli gambeson vests/tunics), sometimes iridescent ones, with different feather colors arranged to make different patterns: Jaguar spots, geometric designs, mythological entities, etc. See pic for some feather "paintings" commissioned for the Spanish made using the same technique, these generally had the feathers glued to paper and then the desired shapes were cut out and then layered onto each other to form the image, i'd assume that's also how the feathers were attached to the cotton base of the warsuits). The necklace was left in place but that's fine, shell necklaces like that were a thing
