Yurlungur, the Rainbow Serpent

"It's like a rainbow apocalypse!"

----Yurlungur--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also known as the Rainbow Serpent, it is the creator god in the myths of Aboriginal
Australia, and one of the oldest surviving continuous religion figures in the world,
taking the form of a copper snake which shines in the colors of the rainbow. It came
to earth in the form of a shooting star, and whenever it goes life and water are said to
be abundant. In the arid conditions of Australian hinterlands, water is essential for
life, especially the ones from the deep holes, which never run dry thanks to the power
of the god. It is said that when a rainbow shines in the sky, it's a sign that Yurlungur
is moving from one waterhole to another, which then starts to glow with the colors
of the rainbow, and is thus considered sacred.
It is also considered a deity of fertility in all senses, and while the god itself doesn't
have a specific gender in the myths, or any at all, it is also considered a phallic symbol
of sorts, which many legends allude to, being able to turn a young man into an adult.
In the most famous stories it devours the sibling deities, the Wawalag sisters, after
one of them starts giving birth and her blood attracts the serpent's attention. It is then
bitten by an insect and regurgitates them, creating the region of Arnhem Land in
the process. Legends also say the god is capable of impregnating woman with the
"spirit-children" he leaves on ponds where they swim. It is also noteworthy that say
the deity itself is a force of nature, being able to cause disastrous floods if ever angered.

So, what happens when don't have a black pencil anymore? You draw a creature that
practically uses every other of the frickin' pencil colors you have!

Done pretty quickly late at night, so it's actually a pretty simple design.
No complex symbolism at all this time... Just a rainbow snake.
Well... Actually, it's marks were supposed to represent the symbols for rain and water
ponds according to aboriginal art, but I'm no specialist at all, so don't take it too seriously.

Hope you liked it! See you guys next time!
