Presently, I have transitioned beyond this particular style; but when I painted this piece, I was really into making my art more gory and horror-like. I've always felt like my style could use more texture and detail, so I really took my time with this one. Plus, I decided to incorporate a phobia into it - the middle head is an example of trypophobia. I gotta admit, looking up reference pictures for that had me itching at my skin a bit. I still have plans to explore this style more again someday.
