Dot Work Skull With Linear Shading

A black ink skull rendered in stippled dot work, with the cranium fading from dense stippling into the negative space of the skin. Bold hatched lines run across the cheekbone and jaw, giving the piece a rough, high-contrast texture. The design reads as a dark, graphic emblem built from dots and strokes rather than solid fills.
