The Meed's chant here is taken from a Mansi fairytale, because God damn, does it sound like "this is the water and this is the well", oooohhhh. I have no talent for words, but at least I have good sources!

It's the upper half for Slavic Nihilism #3 cover by my b...

Two of my favorite boys are here!
Thanks to my Patrons for asking me to draw multiple 100 Bullets characters ^____^ Another one is coming soon!
Aaaaaaand we're back! With more translation frustration.
Sometimes... Well, say, you're writing a comic for an anthology called SLAVIC Nihilism. And you're trying to put as much SLAVIC stuff in it as possible! It's your mission, right? So, in your Russian script, you write in something goofy, ...

I was so, so so right to find some time for Alita this summer! First run is just marvellous, and I will wear on my sleeve the influence of it on my current robot-body-horror stage of work.

Hello, everybody! Trying to get some Slavic Nihilism content back to your feed ASAP!
The current plan is:
1) Getting back to publishing regular strips next week
2) Opening preorders for print copies of #3 in about 3 weeks
3) Having this monster done and printed before the end of September because we're...

I just love this little page right here! Look at it!
Also: a small cameo of the best designed hand tool/weapon from the last 20 years of videogames. This weird swirl is half of 2017's Prey charm!
Mooore patron commissions! Super exciting about everything we have here <3
Sadly, this time I don't have any videos or process shots (just "before" and "after" for mister Konstantine). Constrained and awkward conditions of shooting a process video has been causing me way too much anxiety lately.
But anyway, loo...

Hey folks!
I've just finished another issue of my current book (only one issue left to go, babeeeeh!) and I am very happy with the result. Next I need to finish some Patreon commissions (FINALLY) - and, most importantly, I'm gonna try to get my Slavic Nihilism mojo back. Feel incredibly shitty about another uns...

This book is - hopefully - very close not only to its completion, but to official announcement, too. I'm doing Stalinism on issues 4 and 5 (out of 5) while the other guys are killing it on colors and covers. I desperately want to talk about this book, and at least I can do it for a little while here!
As I'm sure I've al...

Yay, we're moving with our commissions list, finally! The heat in Saint Petersburg has been unbearable recently, and on top of that, my lightbox produces a lot of fucking heat by itself, so I've avoided drawing commissions (for which I also wanted to capture some process videos) for far too long. Sorry everyb...

I really wanted to talk about a page of this comic as a whole at some point, so here we go!
First things first - I gotta admit ( and I've probably already did before!) - first chapter of this story was basically improvised and figured out as it went, webcomic-style. I was just drawing tons of panel sketches on ...

Having tons of fun here, trying to put myself into the right mood to draw some real-ass nature. Really want to channel some Toppi and make it a tad more exciting and fun than my usual "ROCKS AND STONES EEEEVERYWHERE" stuff.
I'm about to release the second FromSoftware zine digitally and open preorders for physical copies in my store (which will hopefully fund the print ASAP), and you could check out some pages from it right now! Got a character from each of the games below, except for Demon's Souls - I've never played it and don't want ...

This is an actual drawing of a hare from an old Russian manuscript!
Finishing my old sketchbook with more coffee break drawings - and this time it's a series of good RPG games companions! (Yep, I'm working on this at the same time with Souls Love vol.2)
Many good characters in this series. Like, for example, this bucket guy from Final Fantasy IX:
