Smirking Cloud Serpent
Label 111, JUNE 2011 - Edition of 1
by Justin Alan Volpe (POP Prolific)
Smirking Cloud Serpent, was a warrior chief folded into the Python branch of troopers early on. Initially contracted to track down crafty enemies who had the resources to disapear in the far off corners of the galaxy. A silent, confident and strict enforcer, manhunting parties lead by Cloud Serpent never end empty handed.
This piece began as a Mandalorian re-imagining of the Aztec god, Quetzalcoatl. When I was finished with the piece, "Mandalorian Quetzalcoatl" felt too specific and direct a name. I wanted she/he to feel more distant and mythical. In the Aztec pantheon of gods, Quetzalcoatl's father is Mixcoatl. Mixcoatl translates to "Cloud Serpent". For me this title is a more accurate fit than Quetzalcoatl, which translates to "Feathered Serpent". In the end, I was very pleased with the way the kit-bashed Gundam elements accented the Mandalore Armor. This figure is one of a kind.
