I really can’t stand Quetzalcoatl’s design in Fate/GO for obvious reasons.

So I started toying around with this back early this month. I actually used some of my own family for a reference, especially our noses (the good ol’ aquiline nose) and that’s actually how I ended up drawing my own gramma and never finished this. For those who don’t know, I do have Mexican heritage that comes from my gramma and that’s why I started using her and other members of my family as references.

I was poking around on my iPad to draw and picked this unfinished concept while I was out with my family because of my agoraphobia. I found this and wanted to continue!

And look. I get the whole thing of gods can’t be summoned in a body or something, but with Mexico’s history and the fact that indigenous people in Mexico are still struggling, Quetzalcoatl needs to be an actual Mexican. Which obviously didn’t happen so I made my own version. There’s a lot more with this and how Quetzalcoatl’s myth became distorted with the arrival of Conquistadors and the genocide of the Aztecs? Oh, yeah, this needed to happen.
