Tick Tock – Your Time Is Almost Up

This character illustration was created for the [Inktober52] prompt: Tick Tock.

I wanted to explore the feeling of being imprisoned by time—physically and mentally. The visual chaos of overlapping clocks, paired with the distressed figure, is meant to reflect the anxiety of a countdown you can’t control.

Stylistically, I used a gritty monochrome palette to reinforce the feeling of dread and urgency.
