Quetzalcoatl

In this project I was inspired to depict the Aztec deity Quetzalcoatl, he was thought to be the creator a feathered serpent who was neither good or bad. He was responsible for life and death as we know it. When developing this model the software used was blender, where I scultped and modeled all the assets. In this design process I really wanted to go for a very aggressive look, creating concept sketches and implenting the skull to create helmet out of the model. Instead of texturuzing the model into worn out and ruggid textures. I decided to follow with the idea of creating this piece in the height of the Aztec Dynasty. Creating procedural rock textures and gem texture which was meant to highlight the excellene of the Aztec people duing their reign, as well as a corrosive metal texture.
