A horrifying close- up of a human face, its features warped and distorted. The skin, once familiar, is now a canvas of decay, mottled with sickly hues and riddled with unnatural textures. Patches of scales or barnacle- like growths hint at a horrifying transformation. The eyes, wide and staring, reflect a maddening abyss, mirroring the cosmic horrors they have witnessed. A trickle of viscous, ichorous fluid oozes from a corner of the mouth, which hangs slightly agape in a silent scream. The lighting is harsh and unforgiving, highlighting every grotesque detail, every twisted pore. This is a portrait of a soul lost to the encroaching madness of the Old Gods, a visceral representation of the physical and psychological toll of encountering the unfathomable. The style evokes the unsettling, distorted portraits of Francis Bacon, combined with the grotesque, anatomical detail of a medical illustration. The desired emotion is a profound sense of revulsion and dread. The rendering is hyperrealistic, focusing on texture and the subtle nuances of decay
