Pen and ink drawing, inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, featuring a bird with an open beak, squawking atop a pile of books. A full moon peeks through shrouding clouds, casting an intense, eerie glow over the scene. The artwork is rich with extreme and intricate detail, encapsulating the essence of Gothic horror. The illumination is moody and dramatic, capturing the haunting atmosphere. Unusual features such as deformed irises, peculiar pupils, and distorted eyes add to the unsettling aura. The bird appears slightly cross-eyed with a cloned face and has extra fingers on its mutated wings. The composition includes elements of distortion like an elongated neck, and some features are intentionally out of frame. The artwork eschews any low-resolution images, text, jpeg artifacts, signatures, watermarks, or artist names, ensuring the focus remains on its hauntingly beautiful and bizarre nature.
