Feline Skull – Gothic Horror Illustration

This design concept came from a fascination with gothic imagery and the natural world. A fierce yet decaying cat skull acts as a symbol of mortality with an appreciation for felines. The smoke and grunge effects lend an eerie atmosphere and the highly contrasted graphic vector style adds a modern touch to this macabre piece. Every stroke and shadow was crafted to achieve a balance between deathly beauty and dark elegance. This design evokes contemplation around primal instincts and the nature of life and death.
