Hello steemians.
The above illustraton is for the Creative Crypto's first open call for an article cover.
The article's aim is to explain to unaware readers that cryptocurrencies are more than just digital cash - they can transfer and store values, ideas, meanings an much more. Find out for yourself, an interesting read

The art piece that influenced me is quite a heavyweight - the creation of Adam by Michaelangelo Buonarroti. I envisioned those two iconic hands belonging to two completely different creatures (obviously) while exchanging tokens - a containers of information and worldview. Decided that zeros and ones (the digital information) nad Yin-Yang (the symbol of balance) were best suited.

1)Started out with sketch and then lineart

2)colored everything on new layer, then added next layer (multiply) with shadows

3)new layer (luminosity) for general light and second layer (Lighten) to make the coins glow

4)Finally did some mushy-mushy-painty-painty-blurry-blurry with the background to make sure the focus is on the coins, and voila!

Made with Krita and my trusty HUION 1060P graphic pad. So far loving both of the, but still much to learn.

cheers.
