Screentone version:Original:
A God of War, Ruminating (Pt. 2)
My favorite new thing in the world (dadaist mosaic background) here is needed for the purpose of full poster design, but if we were to take this piece as a simple character drawing - it would definitely only needs ONE color to stand out:
A God of War, Ruminating (Pt. 1)
Here's a little poster I'm currently working on:Original art is for sale, if you're interested!
See You Space, Cowboy!
One of the best ways to kick off a year is to draw one of your favorite things in the whole wide world ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Btw, INPRNT is offering a nice discount now and until Sunday, and with my personal 35% discount added, you can get this piece as a print here! (link is private for now, but the print is gonna go live later tonight)BW versions:
The question of Print Lover rewards
Hey guys! Here's a special post for everyone on the $10 tier.As I'm trying to plan ahead for our 2023 (not too successfully, so far) I'm thinking about restarting my print operation and getting back to publishing zines again - which would require me establishing new relationships with people in small press in our new country here, in Belgrade. And, most importantly, it will require time and it will require money, so I need to get into a slightly more comfortable and secured position ...
A horror short (VIII)
Aaaaand - moving on! This month we're getting some First Knife pages, too *fingers crossed*This had me thinking - should I show you the remaining two pages on the comic now, or wait until it actually comes out? It's no rocket science, so you've probably figured out the gist of the story already, but maybe it spoils the pleasure of digging into the actual finished comic, when it comes out in a few months (hopefully) from now?...I guess we could take a vote? Let me know in the comments...
A horror short (VII)
Lord help me, I'm back at my Bonelli grid bullshit! Back to the old me...
A horror short (VI)
Continuing with the process, too... And some grim revelations in the story!(Whoops! This one supposed to be $3+ exclusive, but I forgot to check the mark. So, this one on me!)
Hello, 2023
No mental resources for having any "summary of 2022" kind of posts, but at least I finished a great-looking comic kin under a month, and then Sergey Nazarov made it 3 times better with his exquisite colors ^__^
A horror short (V)
These types of crowd/interior shots are always frustrating for me, but I think here it worked out well enough?Plus, my best friend/toughest critic who is also named Artyom but who's NOT me said that the last panel here is my best work in ages, so I'm happy about that, too!
Dr. Strange vs Dr. Doom commission
This is definitely my last "proper"drawing of the year, and what a drawing it is, eh?For as terrible as the year was, I am actually pretty happy about the art I created during it, and my creative progress in general, so I wanted to leave the year behind on a good note.And, of course, this is how the original looks:
A horror short (IV)
Here I subliminaly drew Yevgeny Prigozhin in panel 3's crowd; well, at least this bald cunt definitely dies by the end of the comic! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
More of the Last comic of the year!
Here's couple more pages from the horror short I've been working on during this December!I'm actually just 1 page away from finishing the 10-pager, and this is definitely fastest I've been in comics for a while, especially while also maintaining my comfort and pretty decent everyday routine. So, hooray? I'm actually ready to work on comics again?..(Process posts for these pages are coming for $3 patrons this week, headsup!)
Future commission sketches?
Sometimes an idea for a drawing keeps nagging me, and I can't help but put it into my special ClipStudio sketches file and wait for an occasion to finish it. Recently I've been properly overloaded with work, so of course, instead of allowing myself an episode of anime or something like 30 minutes of videogames before sleep, my dum-dum brain went on a sort of drawing bender with side ideas (as well as a buuunch of First Knife II pencils ^____^).And then I figured - with how often you guys...
Kim and Jimmy
One of those rare commissions that doesn't seem like my cup of tea to draw, but that actually 100% are! So, you never know.
A horror short (II-III)
Your double-dose of weekly comics process, whoo!
A horror short (I)
(process for this comic)This comic opens with a bit of a "when life gives you lemons" situation because personally I really dislike Bitch Gerards-esque "talking heads on your screen" pages, but I think I'm doing the best at this by not copy-and-pasting even a single element of the page, eh? ;)Also, panel 3 (particularly, shadows on the girl's face) could be my favorite piece of nuanced shading of 2022:
Last comic of the year/first comic in many years?
There are no lies in the header, because (if we don't count Slavic Nihilism and my First Knife II escapades) this is my first singular comic since Dagger Dagger and Yesaul - and Yesaul was made in the end of fucking 2020. How time flies, good grief!Anyway... This 10 pages horror comic is written by one of my old-time collaborators, and I'm really glad to have a chance to be working with him. And it's gonna be colored by my other favorite collaborator, which is double-fine!Inking and ...
A cover! (Pt. II, coloring)
(continuing this)Aaaaand it's live - my cover for THE CRIMSON TOWER! Check out the campaign and get yourself a good comic, pretty please ;)
A Birthday cover for you!
The birthday is mine, but I'm treating you with another secret cover today!(final colors and logo dressing will follow a bit later, as it is now this patreon's tradition ^__^)Re: Birthday business - I'm 34 now, and it's fucking bizarre. The last year flew by like a fucking hurricane, and I wasn't exactly at the best of mental states back when I turned 33, to begin with (although later I managed to finish my therapy with pretty satisfying results just a month before the war be...
KNIFE STORE (so far!)
Scanning pages and applying screentones to them is my absolute favorite kind of pleasure, and this sequence was a real treat back in September - maybe one of the last and most pleasing things I did in Russia.Especially this little happy accident -Because, if you remember, those lines were present in the original --but my scanner and my ClipStudio went just a little bit Zaffino on me... and the results were truly ecstatic!Next month is going to be dedicated to a short comic for a horror anthology...
A cover! (Pt. I, inking)
Making myself un-rusty ^___^ Another cover coming up next week, too!And as for this one, bit later you're gonna see it in colors and everything:
A game club emblem commission!
A fun and goofy commission to make <3
Some general maintenance
1. Me, Katia, and all our animals are finally reunited! Which, naturally, brought us all a lot of joy and relief (at 33 I now know what "tears of joy" actually is).What didn't bring us that much joy - be it still with a healthy dosage of relief - is how Serbian customs treated a huge package of my art, books and clothes that arrived couple of days later after Katia.Basically, customs dug through our entire package (because it looked too big and too nice not to contain any contraband ...
X'Ed Out/Last Look commission
A gift for my kind friend's Birthday ^__^(the Polaroid is real!)
HARSH PROSPECT pin-up
A drawing made for a very lovely book by my good comics comrade Will Tempest. Check this series out ASAP!
Some nice little TTRPG illustrations!
Had a lot of fun doing these, and my process for inking my digital sketches traditionally was pretty goofy this time around XD
Knife Store - Pt. 6
Must be my favorite page of this year. Extremely simple, inked in a breeze of time, and cartooning on it makes me feel sooo, so good.I'm taking a pause in posting finished pages for a while, because I'm all out of pages that I managed to ink back in Russia. But more FKII posts is still coming later this month!
Morgott the Omen King commission
More art for that fabled Souls Love compendium!(btw, if you were thinking about commissioning any Sekiro art from yours truly - in sketchbook or full-blown commission format - NOW is the best time to do so with a nice discount ^___^)
