Drawing a 3d Ankh Avatar in Affinity Designer

This design was drawn for use as a forum and discord avatar for use on Shroud of the Avatar, a sandbox MMO game created by Richard Garriot, who also created the Ultima Online series.

Te design was created in Affinity Designer, using the pen tool to create the basic ankh outline.

Next, an inset overlay was added to the ankh, the overlay was given a vibrant gradient and slight 3d effect.

Adding a 3d serpent which winds around the Ankh was the final step to finish off the design.
