// Explanation:
Create a golden idol similar to the idol from Indiana Jones, or to Aztec & Mayan (Native American/Mexican Indian) statues.
The golden character is a typical website admin/tech, that's wearing glasses and a tie. The character is sitting cross-legged on top of 2 server racks.
The scale and proportion don't need to be exact to my sketch (ap-app-icon.jpg), I'd like to see variation, especially in the size of the character's head & body (like in indiana-jones-idol.jpeg).
In the left hand, the character is holding a system icon (wrench & screwdriver). In the right hand, the character is holding a config icon (gear).
The server is to be made of aged stone, which vines growing on it (check attachment: stone-base.jpg for reference).
Include jewels for color where you see fit. (colored-idol.jpg and colored-idol-2.jpg)
//Requirements:

//Dimensions:
512x512, 256x256, 128x128, 64x64, 32x32, 16x16
(for smaller sizes, less detail may be necessary).
I can't wait to see what you come up with!
