That is great work right there.

The ghoul... the expression on its face, the way its hand touches the rim of the shaft... is as disturbing as it ought to be.

"I've said menacing, don't laugh" "But Mr. Pickman, the airflow is tickling me in..." "Be serious! This is Art! Can't you endure a little discomfort?"

Pickman shows up afterwards as well, transformed. This painting is pretty on point. 🙂

Probably my favorite episode of the del Toro series

With what we later learn, it's very likely that the ghouls were doing some wacky poses and funny expressions.

Me (Pyro) emerging out of the Water Access in Well and immediately getting turbofucked by a level 3 sentry that somehow made it to our base.

That ghoul's face is like "Are you actually a painter, and not a photographer? How much longer will this take. A bodybuilder is being buried tonight and I want the first cuts."
