Visual Description

A seated crowned figure with green skin wears a floral robe and an orange cape while holding an upright sword in the right hand. The throne is tall and dark; a colorful butterfly hovers above the crown between two crescent moons and small stars. Trees and clouds sit in the purple background framed by a rough white border, and the banner below reads 'KING of SWORDS'. The palette is bright with dominant purple, orange, green, and pale pink.
