Description
Quetzalcoatl in Aztec legend is a vicious feathered serpent of the sky and creation of gods. In my story, Quetzalcoatl was a former 'god' but was reduced to a summoning spirit and is a loyal soldier of the earth goddesses. He was passed down from Ceres to Cerisa, and he willingly helps Cerisa in many battles and other situations in order to protect her. In a battle against Leviathin and Gavin, Quetzalcoatl was stroke down and the only thing that remained was his soul. Cerisa escapd with his soul and sent the soul away to a resting place where it wouldnt be disturbed, hoping the soul may recover and regain everything lost.It took me a long while to color this but not as much... the rainbow feathers are described from the actual legend of Quetzalcoatl so dont get the wrong idea, its supposed to symbolize life and creation. I made 3 forms of him, one with legs (where he has trouble standing),one with him half human and half snake, and the final form of a winged serpent.
Quetzalcoatl is COPYRIGHTED by me and Hella-Bright

Great job!! Very imaginative!!
But there's 2 things I wanna mention...
1. Quetzalcoatl isn't vicious in the legends. He's said to be kind, wise, and noble.
2. Quetzalcoatl's human form is actually white skinned. It's not a racial thing, though. It's due to being the exact opposite of his rival/brother Tezcatlipoca, who's skin is pitch black, representing the night.
Don't worry, though. I'm not nagging at you or anything. I just thought it'd be worth mentioning, lol.

Poor Quetzalcoatl! Seriously though, I know I always say it, but this picture rules! The colouring is so sharp and precise and the drawing itself is so detailed. Another triumph for you! I'm favouriting this beauty.

polite when he's not fighting

WOW, this is truly amazing, Ive actually read about Quetzalcoatl and it is very interesting. Actually when the spaniards came to mexico, the aztects thought it was Quetzalcoatl and thats why they believed in the spaniards, and it was easier for the spaniards that way to backstab them. I like the color very, very much! This is your best work yet!
π: 0 β©: 1
hahaha thank u lol i never liked the spaniards but then again
they did bring our language or spanish....but um anyways yea i
