Visual Style Layer: High-contrast black and white imagery is used to enhance the gothic atmosphere of the scene. Fine cross-hatching and stippling techniques give texture to the image, evoking a pen-and-ink drawing style. In the style of Kristian Wåhlin Subject Layer: Three dogs are depicted with fiercely exaggerated features to capture their aggressive demeanor. Their behavior is a ferocious gnawing and scraping at skeletal remains. Atmospheric Layer: The gothic ambience is created through the starkness of the black and white, with the scene seeming to leap out of the darkness. Shadows and light are used to cast dramatic effects, adding to the visual tension. Composition Layer: The dogs are arranged to draw the eye toward the center of the activity, with one standing over the others, creating a hierarchy within the group and adding depth to the scene.
