I think this video was shot in iPhone's time lapse mode, so it's a bit more flashy? Anyway, you could slow it down a bit with the Youtube settings, if you want.

Hey everyone!
Since my first Souls Love zine was the main pillar of my economy for the last few months, channelling some of my love for the recently released Sekiro into another volume of this zine was only more natural. And really, it's a very nice way to...

Around this page I started experimenting with ink wash - Jericho needed a different style for his flashbacks, and it felt really fitting to make his scenes more murky and weird. I was doing a lot of silhouette isolation with paper cutouts, used...

Howdy! This is a scheduled post. Right now I'm probably sliding down a mountain on my busted old skis.

God, I hate second panel here so much. There are many artists who do magic with stretched horizontal panels... But I should forget about them altogether. Blegh.

Aaaaaaand our final cover!
I had big plans for this one, bough aaaall the materials for doing linocuts and shit -- but damn, I was so exhausted and so nervous about my gauze experiments, that in the end I went the safe road.

Okay, this is a VERY old video!
I think I shot it on my old IPhone back in April of 2017. That's why there's a cut every couple of minutes - the phone was running out of storage space. I don't think I had my apparatus for holding my camera above the work space either....

Sometimes your poor organism craves for some sort of bizarre, but highly therapeutic busywork. One out of three times you actually manage to treat yourself to this ritual.
Maybe in this fit of abstract sincerity you remember that there was a time when 80-90% of your inking was digital. So y...

Well, I shot videos for 4 out of 6 our covers, so you're gonna see it all! :D

It's getting cold in Russia, but in Saint Petersburg you could only dream about proper snow... So, quite intentionally, I turned my first batch of new Patreon commissions into The Snow Boys!

Okay, so last month, in the midst of terrifying depression and massive work uncertainty I decided to draw 14 pages of comics in about two weeks, pencils to inks. And after finishing pencils it meant inking all the pages in just 9 days, which is pretty fast for me, all things considered. Turning in t...
