Subject: A human figure with an abnormally long neck, their face stretched into an unnerving, rictus grin. Their skin is pale and glossy, almost wax-like. Their torso is clad in a Baroque waistcoat adorned with dark feathers and silver embroidery, but their lower half descends into an abyssal maw lined with jagged, shifting teeth. Pose: They lean forward, arms stretched wide as if welcoming the viewer into their embrace. Their grin seems to widen unnaturally, exposing rows of too-sharp teeth. Lighting: A harsh spotlight from above illuminates their face and upper body, creating stark contrasts. Faint, red ambient lighting rises from the maw below, casting eerie reflections on their face. Props: A thin, delicate cane with a polished silver handle held loosely in one hand, the tip of which appears to drip a dark, tar-like substance. Background: A grand Baroque staircase leading into darkness, its bannisters cracked and twisted into claw-like shapes. Shadows move unnaturally along the walls, resembling writhing figures.
