Two key technical points: (i) strong (about 4 stops) underexposure at shooting and then 4 stops bump up in RAW conversion to have grain to begin with, (ii) extreme sharpening (radius about 10, amount 400% or something). Desaturation, of course. Some levels. I am not quite sure how to categorize it: low key, high key, both?
Will I be crucified for "digital art", "graphic art", "not a photograph", etc? Actually, I don't really care..

looks pretty neat, almost seems heavily edited, but whatever you did to make it looks like this in a basic editing challenge then let me know.
Nice focus
