Surreal Gothic Horror Occult Portrait

Surreal gothic fantasy portrait illustration of [a pale young woman with short black hair], centered in a tight vertical composition. Her expression is [calm, melancholic, and emotionally distant], with heavy dark eye makeup, tired eyes, delicate facial features, and subtle imperfections. Multiple pale hands with elegant [crimson-red] manicured nails emerge around her face, gently framing her head and brow in an ornate decorative pose. A pale serpentine creature with intricate scales rests across her forehead and nose. Background features a deep black cosmic void with tiny stars, floating particles, multiple mystical [turquoise] eyes gazing from the dark, and a large muted crimson-red circular moon in the upper background. Flowing pale hair-like tendrils sweep across the upper-left into the darkness. She wears layered dark black distressed clothing with chains and gothic jewelry. Low-key dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, deep shadows, subtle film grain, hand-painted textured brushwork, intricate linework, and a muted palette of charcoal black, dusty beige, muted teal, and deep crimson.
