Quetzalcoatl Classic Mythology 2 Base Card

Description

Yeah, like when given the option I'm NOT gonna draw the kaiju.

Among the Aztecs, whose beliefs are the best-documented in the historical sources, Quetzalcoatl was related to gods of the wind, of Venus, of the dawn, of merchants and of arts, crafts and knowledge. He was also the patron god of the Aztec priesthood, of learning and knowledge. Quetzalcoatl was one of several important gods in the Aztec pantheon, along with the gods Tlaloc, Tezcatlipoca and Huitzilopochtli. (Wikipedia)

I gave him horns because they appear in several carvings, and chose the (somewhat unorthodox) coloration based upon various painted depictions.

This art will be a Preview base card in the Classic Mythology II trading card set. The Preview cards are printed in a spot gloss with a matte background. Classic Mythology II Preview sets will be available for sale on February 3rd 2014.

5x7 COPIC marker on drawing paper.
