This intensely coiled cobra looks poised to strike at any moment. Its long, muscular body is tightly coiled, and its hood is wide and threatening. The snake’s eyes are focused and menacing, and its forked tongue flickers out of its sharp, toothy maw. The cobra stands as one of the most dangerous and feared predators in the world, and its powerful presence dominates the page.
To properly convey the cobra’s danger and power, use a neutral palette for the surrounding area, and bold yellows, reds, and blacks for the snake. You could use a dark green for the background and then layer it with shades of yellow and red. Try to create a gradient in the body and hood of the cobra - the middle could be yellow, transitioning to a rusty red on its edges. Use a deep, dark black to create definition and texture on the snake, with light outlining and highlights on the tongue, eyes and tail. Finally, give it touches of silvery-white on its scales. This fierce reptile will come alive on the page.
