Well now, I assume at least 2/3 of existing copies of DAGGER DAGGER are out in the world already, so it'd be cool to show off the way the original pages actually look, all bundled together!

Yes.

All right, let's kick off the First Knife / Pr*t*ct*r (Potential) Sequel (no working title yet) Official Development Blog with some regular concept art "drops" (blegh, sorry, sorry). Some of those you've already seen here, some are completely new, but all are incredibly lovely, and the chara...

Immensely satisfied with this little project - so much so that I even got brave enough to ask for a full drawing of mech in it! (I usually avoid doing proper machine designs like fire). And wait till you see some art from other collaborators from the rulebook, good lord! <3

A small and pleasant (albeit bittersweet) highlight of my 2020: I was asked to do some test designs for characters from my favorite short story by Aleksey Tolstoy ("The Family of the Vourdalak"). Even though the project went nowhere for me personally, I was extremely thrilled to return to my favorite Slavic vampire, ...

Can’t really tell you much of anything new (not because of secrecy, but rather lack of any active developments); I just love sketching stuff for this comic, no matter what.
A lot of this stuff is my interpretation of little memories and vignettes from Hard to be a God movie. I really, really want my work to f...

One of the last batches!

Back in 2017, I started doing my "big" comic pages on smaller sheets of paper (A4 size instead of my usual A3). I've experimented with going "smol" before in my left field works like Slavic Nihilism (mostly for the sake of mobility when working on facultative projects), but here my examination was mostly motivated by...
