This is a rather interesting design. I started by thinking I would create a silly picture of a cryptocurrency coin that doesn’t exist, just for the fun of it. I began by making the background, which took many layers and a lot of blending, then I got to work on the coin itself.

After I began drawing the next part, instead of a coin the picture became the design you see here. The last part I added was the yellow circle in the background. Without the circle you get to see more of the background blend, which I like, but I also like the design with the circle, so I decided to add it in.
