The Inner Demon

Render an intense, tightly cropped portrait study of a sinister goblin creature, its feral features twisted in a menacing snarl. Capture the sense of inner darkness and primal savagery through bold, painterly brushwork in earthy shades punctuated by bloody crimson highlights. Let the piercing eyes and contorted visage convey the struggle between the bestial and human natures vying for dominance within.
