Plague Doctor, Neon Smoke Portrait

Synthwave horror. The plague doctor's silhouette — beaked mask, tall hat, cloaked shoulders — sits dead-center, while the background runs hot with magenta, electric teal, orange, and a faint bat shape drifting in from the upper right.

The mask is the visual anchor: pale ivory with a yellow-and-orange ringed eye socket and a long beak that drips into the cloak. A small star-shaped amulet hangs at the chest. Everything else is mood — flames, vapor, smoke, none of it grounded to a real space.

This is a piece for colorists who like neon palettes and are willing to leave realism behind. The silhouetted body wants to stay dark; the work is all in the colored fog around it.
