I adore the juxtaposition of the big-scary-world-eating Quetzy and the itty bitty humming birds. :3 Plus the overall composition-- sweeping feathers and curls-- is just well done

Oh yeah! This deity is one of my favorite legends... I love the colors, the texture and the pose (so curly @.@)
The head's design is interesthing, it's similar to the one showed in the statues but looks anatomically correct
Oh yeah... and add the humming birds was a great detail

Dude! This shit is bananas!
No really, i love it. I like how it looks like he's playing with the tiny hummingbird. Or maybe about to eat it....lol. Kind of hard to tell. Either way it's awesome!

These are looking great <3 Your coloring in Photoshop is getting so good. I like the background texture too.
Why are there humming birds in there? They're cute.

This is wonderful. I love that Quetzecoatl's face resembles a mask, and the pose (however difficult to follow) and the sheen on the feathers. I think my love of this deity ties in with my love of dragons, and the joy and majesty and outrageousness they represent in non-Western cultures.

Another awesome drawing!
Quetzacoatl is one of my more favorite diety figures, design wise.
I always thought it represented thunder or something, but maybe that's just FFVIII talking out it's ass.

A really neat picture! I love the colors and the movement--this seems very dynamic and he appears to be playing with the hummingbirds. Great job
