This character staring face is a detailed black-and-white drawing by Tsutomu Nihei of a skull with a grotesque, haunting expression. The skull is depicted in a highly stylized manner, with rough, jagged lines and heavy shading that emphasizes the macabre nature of the subject. The skull's eye sockets are hollow and sunken, giving it a vacant, eerie look. The eye sockets are filled with intricate, swirling patterns that resemble spirals or corkscrews, adding to the unsettling aesthetic. Two vertical lines, resembling crossbones, are drawn above the eye sockets, further enhancing the morbid theme. The skull's jaw is slightly open, revealing a set of sharp, jagged teeth, some of which are broken or missing. The texture of the skull's surface is rough and uneven, with visible cracks and scars, contributing to the sense of decay and desolation. The background is minimalistic, consisting of a few dark, indistinct shapes that provide a stark contrast to the skull's prominent features. The overall style is reminiscent of horror manga or graphic novels, characterized by its stark contrast, heavy shading, and emphasis on grotesque imagery.
