Up until 2023 I had never tried to work like this. I flirted with this stuff off and on but, did not get serious until that year. Was it the right move? I don't know, but at the time I had to change things up. Give into the things I enjoy, wanted to try, or what I wanted to see. #art

She has orange lines vertically across her whole face, a triangle of red at her chin, a circle with points at her forehead. dark hair, a purple and red collar made up of swooshes and curled black shapes
