Mercurial Community Artifact: Key

Extra work done for a really cool spell-crafting and dice board game called Mercurial (by @hyperlixir_sg)!
This piece was really interesting to work on, as it was a community-built artifact card. Kickstarter backers got to vote what artifact type they wanted (key and pendant work picked out of the initial voting round). From there, I made sketches of keys and pendants, in which voting was done again to pick out one key design and one pendant design. Subsequently, two detailed sketches were done for key and pendant each, and from the four sketches, one final one was picked to be the final illustration.

Made two extra variants for a final round of voting, and the purple one turned out to be the winner (personal choice is the gold and blue one XD).

*artifact background not done by me, it was a standardized background used for all artifact cards
