A piece I painted a couple of weeks ago. Quetzalcoatl= some kind of aztec god/emperor, if I remember correctly.

...*sigh* Once upon a time I used to scan my pictures within just a few days after I finished them, but nowadays I just keep... forgetting. *hits brain*

...you have ruined Aztec mythology for me

He's a feathered serpent, not a dog

This lovely masterpiece has been in my favourites for quite a while now.
In fact, I even used this as my desktop wallpaper for quite a while at one point.

Quetzalcoat'l isn't the god of war- he is indeed a sky/creator god.

Not to be too nitpicky, but quetzalcoat'l don't actually have arms or muzzles. They look more like eastern dragons than anything else, technically. Blame the anthropologist in me.

The picture is absolutely beautiful, though.
