Woman's face cast in silver, but the silver has tarnished—dark grey and black creeping across the surface like veins. Her features are delicate, finely wrought, but the tarnish has eaten into them, spreading outward from the edges. A single clean patch of bright silver remains on her cheek, catching the light like a small mirror. Her eyes are the only fully realistic element—real, wet, human eyes, deep brown with flecks of gold, alive and intensely focused, staring directly out of the frame as if she is looking at someone—you. Her expression is unreadable, but her eyes are sharp, alert, tracking movement. The tarnish has not touched her eyes—they are pristine, untouched, the only part of her that remains fully human. The rest of her face is corroded, dark and rough, but the skin around her eyes is clean, bright silver, as if she is holding onto the last part of herself. Her lips are closed, still, tarnished, but her eyes are moving, following. The background is dark velvet, absorbing the light, making the silver glow. Texture: smooth silver, rough tarnish, scaly corrosion, glossy wet eyes, soft velvet background, clean bright edges. Palette: bright silver, deep grey, black tarnish, deep brown iris, warm gold flecks, warm white sclera, pale gold reflection, deep velvet black.
