Well, here's another one of those 3D pieces. It's Quetazalcoatl of the Aztecs! Also known as "the Feathered Serpent." He's sans feathers because it was too hard for me to create realistic feathers for now. The concept was based off of a picture from a modeling practice thread, so I disclaim any credit for the concept itself.

I was studying intensely on how to get those dang topology of the mesh to follow the anatomy. Needless to say, the head took way too much time to model, although it got easier as I move towards the tail. ;)

Rigging only consisted of just importing a template armature, replacing the legs with a tail, adjust, and use Blender's shiny heat weight feature to assign all of the bones. It isn't perfect, but it gives some decent results.

Modeled, rigged, and rendered in Blender 3D.
