The style is characterized by detailed and surreal imagery, featuring dark and fantasy themes. Fine lines and illustrative techniques create expressive and intricate compositions, often with a central focus and dynamic contrasts. The monochrome color palette enhances the mysterious and eerie atmosphere, with symbolic imagery and nature elements frequently depicted. This style draws inspiration from romanticism and gothic art, reminiscent of works by artists like Gustave Doré and Albrecht Dürer.
