Description My own version of a Couatl, requested by

Couatl are traditionally rainbow winged serpents derived from the Aztec godΒ Quetzalcoatl. Always on the side of good, they have powerful minds. They inhabit warm jungles.

It has feathers all the way down the body instead of having wings, as 15 foot wings wouldn't work very well in the jungle unless they only lived on the very top and ate just about only birds. Since it is a snake, if it fluidly slithered through the trees, it would almost seem as though it flew through the jungle. The feathers on the "wings" are still rainbow colored, and store energy instead of granting flight. The head is shaped like a cobra, with spots to focus and "cast" it's psychic energy. It is a pure white serpent with gold accents because it is always on the side of good, and looks god-like due to coloration.

Many thanks to for her help and patience as I finished this picture today You gave me the confidence to finish!
This is my first picture with a fully drawn out background and soft shading
