Featered serpent
Featered serpent by @araigeasa (Geas)

Quetzalcoatl(featherd serpent) is generally considered Aztec  but, he was worshiped long before the Aztecs gained power by many different names. He represents learning, civilization, wind, light, venus, twins, healing, hope, life, and creation. He's one of the more peaceful Atzec gods, though he did have a bad side

Love the art. Any reason chose those colours? Not to be picky but the Spanish NEVER accepted anything ‘pagan’, ever- the Cult of Santa Ria incorporated him and hid him under the codename of Thomas though. Spain and The Catholic Church burnt every last manuscript [Yes, the Tecca had paper as well as Quipu] and smashed many statues because they associated serpents with Satan. Let me guess? You used a website instead of a real history book. As an educator I tell students that the web is a starting point but only a tertiary source at best and quite unreliable. On a happier note - have you thought about the other CA and SA gods? The Jade Petticoat Lady might be a good one for your style. Ivan O.
