Sinnin' and inkin' #4

We're back!

#5, page 20

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 sponges and brushes - but it'...

And without further ado - we're finally getting back to our (relatively) regular Slavic Nihilism schedule! This bastard NEEDS to be finished by summer, so I really have no choice here, haha :D

Cheers from Sheregesh!

Howdy! This is a scheduled post. Right now I'm probably sliding down a mountain on my busted old skis. This post informs you about my ten days of absence (three days in the mountains, a week in Novosibirsk - family is important, and free skiing trip is amazing!), but also lets you know what we're wrapping up 3 out of 5 issues...

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.

7 DEADLY SINS #6 cover

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.

Sinnin' and inkin' #2

Issue #5 page 13

We're making a huge time jump between our videos here - at this point, I finally had my new iPhone, two flexible "legs" which I was connecting together and using for holding the phone over my table, and was deep into thoroughly enjoying my nibs, inks and screentones territory.

Also, two of my favo...

Deadly Sins - other parties

GOD DAMN IT THIS POST WENT LIVE WITHOUT TEXT!

(But I think you got the gist, haha :D)

Basically, with the sheet above I was trying to formulate my "bible" of coloring choices for Giulia. I was imagining our book almost like Batman:Black Glove - J.H. Williams did some mad stuff there with ...

Sinnin' and inkin' #1

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... Anyway, it was a clusterfuc...

7 Deadly Sins - scheduling our content

Hey people! Let's do some "housekeeping", eh?

First of all - Slavic Nihilism returns in a week or so! Finally I'm getting some shit done, yeeee-hhaaaaaw. If only you know how much MAD STUFF I am reading through for this book.

Secondly, I'm loading a bunch of 7 Sins process videos ...

Deadly Sins - main party

(First remember - you could always read first issue of this book for free here... And also buy the entire book, if you want... You know...)

Now, let's talk ...

You press a button and computer draws everything for you

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 you just take your tablet, and ...

SIERRA MUERTE variant cover

This video is a longer one, but somehow it feels more justified.

I love me some Michel Fiffe <3 <3 <3

(I hope you're enjoying all those sick stickers on my easel ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

With that cover, at first I really wanted to try and go full ...

BOLVANY

To compensate for the lack of Slavic Nihilism updates I finally decided to do THIS post. All hail Dmitry Nesterak! We're going to look at a ton of sketches from this talented Voronezh fella. And if for some reasons you haven't yet read the story itself - please2019-01-12 18:52:14 +0000 UTC View Post

Space Cowboy Man

Yay! Another monthly comic!

Here's a lil' comic I did for a Kickstarted anthology. The weirdest part about it is that the story was co-written by a kickstarter backer and he's in it himself :D

7 DEADLY SINS #3&4 covers

I don't think I have videos for these covers, so here are pencils and inks for each of them - including a couple of different versions of #3:

7 DEADLY SINS #2 cover

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

I'm going to space those out for a couple of months and water it down with some page process videos, so you'll have a nice variety of 7 Sins vids and pictures to enjoy! 

Here we go:

How many of you are watching my videos?

Please, submit your votes to this poll! Youtube is showing me quite depressing numbers of views on most of my videos, but I keep hoping that someone out there is enjoying them - and I have a lot of 7 Sins processes shot in the last 1,5 years, so I'm probably going to continue posting them... But I really don't w...

Loved-loved-loved drawing these! Even though there's not enough snow this time :D

Snow boys for my sweet patrons

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!

Second batch coming very soon ^__^

7EVEN DEADLY SINS

Thanks god, it finally got announced yesterday! TKO Studios is launching soon with a bunch of interesting (hopefully!) books, and mine (double-hopefully!!!) is one of them. Follow TKO on twitter for cool shit!

Artificial crunches

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 those pages ASAP was important,...
