Back in 2020, inspired by Empire’s Spectre magazine cover, I sketched the Spectre Dia de Muertos skull in my own style. Since then, my love for Mexican culture has grown exponentially, and I have been fully immersed in it. I decided to re-create the image again in vector format, this time adding a handful of references in homage to the original inspiration.
Can you spot them all?
