another 2023 thing, changing style but still doing dark art themes. #art

four separate pieces of artwork showing skulls, bottom left and right have branches coming out of them, as well as the top left. Branches where a thing in my brain at the time I guess (shrug), Top right is a skull with striking red hair.

I don’t know what to call my style. It’s made up of personal preference and bits from things I like. It does follow a overall logic from an older style. I just have no interest in the subjects they commonly paint. #art

Portrait of a woman wearing a vaguely triangular hat that is purple and red with tassels at the ends. Her eyes are red but glow. There is a red stud under her eyes and one on her chin. There is a white third eye on her forehead surrounded by small red circles
