Bernini [Cardano Edition] ^.^ Crypto Logo Art Challenge - Entry ^.^
.png)
Another great and interesting Crypto Art Challenge on the way - this time with the Cardano logo. I noticed a change in the rules so I had to choose between hundreds of different and unique artists.
Hm, tough job. I was kind of having an idea about sculptors and marble pieces in my mind. Luckily my friends helped me decide - special thanks to @svdsdragunov and Xmantra (not sure if he has a Steemit account)! ^.^
So this entry is inspired by the incredible art of Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

Some pictures I used, specially for the marble effect:

This time decided to start with the background, because it was easier than the other elements. ^^'
I made it a bit darker to contrast the Cardano logo.
Time for the logo - gave it a bit of a stone look with couple of Effects using Photoshop: Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow, Bevel and Emboss and Gradient Overlay.
Looking at the bust of Louis XIV I noticed my sculpture needs a base.
Ok, done. :D Made with three vector shapes with the same effects as the Cardano logo.
Next step (and probably the most time-consuming) was to make the fabric that embraces the logo.
First the left side.
And then the right. I also added some light from the top.

And finally using the same marble pattern but in different Layer Mode (Color Burn) I wanted to give a little color to the background.
Hope you like it!
^.^ Have a unique day, everyone! ^.^
Thanks for stopping by!
This is very cool. Thanks for showing the whole process behind the completed work. Impressive. I found you on the #payitforward contest. You were featured by @scrawly. Congratulations and all the best to you.
Thank you, @energyaddict22! ^.^ I'm really glad you like my work. @scrawly was so kind to feature me in this contest. ^.^ I don't know how to thank him.
I always try to show every step, because I believe the process is much more important than the finished piece. ;)
Pretty cool and simple your work turned out, i like it!
Thanks, Dragu! ^.^ I'm glad you like it!
It can be done way better, but I was too tired yesterday. ^^'
nice way to match the art I like how you did sculpture instead of paintings like most people, please feel free to join my current Steemit #contest here https://steemit.com/contest/@isteemithard/design-isteemithard-a-profile-picture-avatar-contest-14-winner-of-13
