Description

Stylized digital illustration features a human head in profile, rendered in dark teal, cream, and black. The side of the face, from the forehead to the chin, is clearly defined in a solid dark color. Cream tone sections accent the upper head and neck. The ear is adorned with an earring suggestive of a chess piece. The silhouette is bisected by chessboard square patterns that add to the graphic composition. Two cream-colored chess pieces, a rook and a bishop, are rendered on top of the figure's profile, in a vertical stack, further emphasizing the theme. The background is a flat field of teal. The overall style has a graphic, modern feel.
