Wow, absolutely beautiful!! This pencil-drawn style is really breathtaking. It has a quality of roughness that is very charming, while still being precise and clear. I love how the lighting is bright and intense, but the scene still looks dark and foreboding. I also love the graininess inside the door's mouth. Did you accomplish this with traditional media, or digital?
The one nitpick I have about this is that the upper left brow seems to end a bit early in a way that doesn't seem intentional - although the doorway is clearly cracked and weathered, the face doesn't seem to be missing any large chunks that would make it asymmetrical like the brow. Very minor detail though, it took a minute to notice.
And I do think you did a really great job with the face! It really is so expressive and draws you right into its gaping maw!

And the writing is also very nice It does a great job of putting you into Samir's perspective, which gets the feeling of dread stirring while also giving insights into his character. It gives me the impression he's an explorer, now taken by some creepy eldritch force.

very good illustration very cool
