Poe-Inspired Illustration

The style

A haunting gothic-macabre illustration style steeped in melancholy and dread, rendered in desaturated colors, ash-gray, and deep black tones pierced by isolated light, decaying Victorian vibes, symbolic motifs woven through the composition, delicately cross-hatched or ink-washed texture recalling antique engraving, and a brooding, poetic atmosphere of obsession, grief, and quiet horror. Influenced by: Harry Clarke, gothic engraving illustration, Victorian mourning art, Gustave Doré.
