Description
I'm pretty sure cel shading kills everything but painting just takes way too long!Anyway, here's a design for Quetzacoatl. He changed so much from my first sketch. I'll probably post those later in the week since I think they're more interesting than this.
I think I just dislike the colors? I don't know. I'm going to turn it in and we'll see what critique I get.

Awesome interpretation of Quetzalcoatl and I like the influence of Aztec art in the geometric patterns and shapes.

Wow, this is such a beautiful design! All the rectangular shapes make it feel really true to the ancient carvings and paintings, while the colors feel really realistic. Nice colored outlines too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the original Quetzacoatl was female?

That is one wicked design! I like how you made him blocky with swirls like Aztec-style art

Overall I REALLY like this. I do have to say, though, the head and face kinda look like they should be on a robot. But the colors are fine with me, I think it's a really unique take on the character.

I think the face is supposed to resemble the Aztec depiction of their dragon/snake/bird deity [link] [link]

Same as the person above about the eyes, I thought the red squiggles on the sides of the face were massive eyebrows! I think the eyes are cool where they are though, it is kind of a trick!
