Trapped in the jagged geometry of a 1920s Weimar nightmare, the silent carousel spins a dark procession of gaunt wolves and angular ravens through the ink-black fog.

About this image

This atmospheric black and white illustration depicts an eerie abandoned carousel set on rain-slick cobblestone fairground on a dark misty night. The angular hand-carved carousel features sharp geometric mythical beast figures, with somber carved faces lining its canopy edge. A distant searchlight cuts through swirling fog to cast long dramatic shadows, leaning into an unsettling gothic horror mood with textured painterly brushwork.

I like the art style and voted for it. The caption somewhat made me guessed it was yours. Great visual, sad that it never made it top 20.

I suspected this was yours and really enjoyed it! I would displace a number of entries in the top 20 in favor of this.
