☘ I smile because I want to ☘

Hey there everyone! This blog will now serve as an archive for my old art for the time being. Since I don't want to go back and clean up to start again, I just made a new blog to post my art and writing stuff instead! I've got too many memories that I don't wanna remove :') And this blog is one of the oldest socials I've got so uh- The user is still the same, and I thank those that have remained patient and stuck around. I hope those that remain enjoy any new works I make, and I'll be posting them on the new account :)

New Blog: @spades-of-indigo

For those wondering, I've mostly focused on a lot of character concepts, character art and oc work lately. Sometimes, I DO post fanart, but it's kinda rare. If you ARE interested in that too though, I sometimes draw Twenty One Pilots related things and whatever else feels fun or interesting. AND I do sometimes go back and redraw old art :) So some old fandoms may come up again. And they all still hold a good place in my heart, especially my aus. So if any of that sounds interesting to you, feel free to stop by and say hello! :D Thank you!

- Spades-Of-Indigo ♠

I’ll try to follow back any friends and mutuals on the new one, so feel free to follow me there and let me know who you are :> and I’ll follow back!
