Comment by Artifacts:
You applied the technique of a solid black background to convey a sense of darkness correctly.

Like many entries this one is very low contrast. In this case it might be better if you applied autocontrast or other color/contrast adjustments to bring out the red, yellow and blue in the mask face. You could still leave some shadow on the ears to relate to the theme, but those colors are just too good to be muted.

Going through and commenting on all my 5 votes, as I find this type of photo usually receives the least amount.

This is some good saturation and hue work.. but in all honesty, it still looks like it's a part of *this* world. (And the darkened unsaturated background really distracts), only hit by someone with a few cans of spray paint.
