About the Artwork:
“I considered this piece for Fiends of the Dark III given the subject matter and the tendency for skulls to be associated with the macabre. I’ve been wanting to try my hand at mixing realism with more simplified design elements, similar to the work of Alphonse Mucha. This is one of the practice attempts to hone that skill.” – Adrian Cherry
