I have always worked in greyscale and to flip that knowledge to a red scale portrait was the result of staying up too late watching horror movies and drawing.

Saw this Oni mask on tiktok and decided to create a semi-political post on my socials with this mask by calling it "Free Mask" as a way to show that you can't always hide your demons and shadows.
