This was a Commissioned piece inspired by the 1968 Olympics black power salute in which Tommie Smith and John Carlos, each raised a black-gloved fist during US national anthem.

To create the gold effect, I used a mixture of effects including 'Bevel & Emboss' and 'Satin'. This really helped create a metallic gold effect. Furthermore, the 'Outer Glow' helped create the metallic effect.
