Skeleton with Morning Star

A menacing skeleton warrior grips a spiked morning star mace, rendered in detailed blackwork with intricate bone textures and shadowing. The skull features hollow eye sockets and a grinning jaw, while the ribcage and arm bones show realistic anatomical detail. The medieval weapon displays a heavy spherical head covered in threatening spikes, connected to a sturdy handle by thick chains. Dark shading emphasizes the weapon's weight and the skeleton's imposing presence. Gothic elements like wispy smoke or ravens might surround the figure, all executed in bold black ink with strong contrast and clean line work that captures both the macabre beauty of death imagery and the brutal elegance of medieval weaponry.
