This design’s all about capturing raw, gothic energy, stripped down to its bare bones, literally. I wanted the skull to feel heavy and a little haunted, like it’s been pulled straight out of some crumbling cathedral wall but with a touch a crisp-ness. The teeth are jagged on purpose, it’s not supposed to be clean or pretty. It’s a broken grin, more about decay and inevitability than death itself. I kept it stark and simple because I wanted the weight of it to come through without overcomplicating it, just pure, heavy, and a little unsettling.
