Entry in the Dark Carnival challenge.

About this image

This hyper-detailed dark horror artwork depicts a cursed, undead-run carnival under a cloudy full moon, with gilded rotting royalty overlooking chained captive figures. The background features a skull-adorned Ferris wheel, grinning clown entrance, and flickering warm string lights contrasting deep shadowy storm clouds. The mood is menacing, oppressive, and unforgettably macabre, leaning into classic gothic horror carnival themes.
