Hi friends!

Another one of my drawing on Steemit art contest.
This picture can be understood as you wish, I'll not explain, because it is too multifaceted concept...

Sketch in Photoshop

Yes, I chose a palette of colors that would show contrasts as irreconcilable contradictions

Adding primary color shades.

Golden sword... wow!
I like that!)))

Detalization & form correction

Add a scale texture

Then I decide I didn't like a tree behind snake

And I add other effect things

Sword hilt seems to me very saturation - I make it darken.

Some magic

Last steps: choosing a color background, adding a final texture, drop shadows

Still grange frame and some color correction

It's ready!

Yes, this drawing catches up dark thoughts, but in fact it has a deep meaning...

Thanks a lot for your attention to my drawings!
