You know what - I think for the next 6 or so months (at least while the series itself is being put out) I'll be giving away these old pretties through the Russian Roulette tier.

Above you could see the version of the page from our initial 5-years-old pitch.
Below, you will find the 2019 version. Weirdly enough, this page endured the minimal amount of edits - one of maybe three less edited pages of the issue!
Still, Mari is just way more fun here:

Contact me if you're interested in this old piece of original:
This gnarly drawing should potentially become a cover/header for a new Disco Elysium podcast (and the original of it probably should be gifted to ZA/UM....). I greatly enjoyed the game myself, so drawing this was a heart-warming challenge.

60% or my work time is strictly commissions right now, which is pretty weird. Another 30% is promoting Protector, which is exciting, but highly stressful for no rational reason. And the last 10% are just exhausting, tiring waiting for something.
But hey! Thanks to commissions, I got to draw my favorite (as ...

End thus, Chapter 2 is complete! What do you think and feel about it, people? Without pretense of "real" publication I'm kinda cut from 80% of feedback sources, so getting any opinions in exchange for you work is a real struggle. So any comments are appreciated! <3
