Sketch Commission - Pinhead (Patreon)

Pinhead, as portrayed by Jamie Clayton in the new Hellraiser, for a client. I went back and forth on whether to bring in the piercing blue irises against the black sclera seen in the film, but ultimately decided the work was stronger without a clear directed gaze. The tilted black disc halo owes something to a specific kind of halo depiction seen in late middle ages/renaissance catholic work, where the halo is painted in perspective as a physical entity, rather than a wholly abstract aureole of light. Appropriate for a being that is "Angel to some"
