A high-contrast digital painting in the style of Don Brautigam, featuring a sinister scene with a menacing skull entwined by a large, detailed snake. The skull has hollow eyes and jagged teeth, and the snake coils around it with a sense of impending danger. Surrounding the skull and snake are vibrant orange leaves, creating a striking contrast against the dark background. Crossed bones lie beneath the skull, adding to the heavy metal aesthetic. The overall composition is dynamic, with deep shadows and intricate linework. The atmosphere is dark, foreboding, and mysterious, capturing the intense and powerful energy of a heavy metal band like Metallica. The color scheme is dominated by deep blacks and intense oranges, with subtle highlights to emphasize the details and enhance the ominous mood. --ar 4:7 --chaos 33
