How often do you prefer to read comics?

I've prepared new comic pages about Altumar and wanted to do a little poll regarding the frequency of releases. It’s available on Patreon

I'm sure many of you have followed the release of a comic, novel, or other creative work at some point, and I would love to hear what reading pace was the ...

“Closer to the Heart” - Completed YCH

And here’s the long-awaited completed illustration!

This was an auction YCH based on a very old sketch from years ago. The winner provided me with two characters featuring very intricate color patterns, especially for this type of illustration. But it turned out well—vibrant and bright!

Wallpaper of 2024 / September

No to gloom! Away with sorrow and melancholy! Let's embrace autumn as a beautiful season that brings cozy evening drinks, like mulled wine, and the joy of watching atmospheric movies. It's simply wonderful :3

“Shelter from the Sun” - Art

I enjoy Virmos’s adventures, even though they aren’t entirely canon when viewed from the perspective of the “Sea ...

“Nest Guard” - Art

“…The dragon gently cradled one of the eggs in its claws, holding its breath. Its heart beat in sync with the barely perceptible flutter of new life. The other three eggs were tucked safely under its wing, bathed in soft sunlight. The air was thick with anticipation—the moment when the silence would be broken by the fir...

Who Doesn’t Love Bread?

Nothing unusual, just a commission for a small sticker illustration featuring a cute character stuck in a piece of bread :3

I like it so much that I decided to post the work separately, haha.

Sweet Dream

I received an unusual commission: to create an illustration styled like a dating simulator. Have you ever played something like that? I’ll let you in on a secret—I have! Back in my teenage years, I often got hooked on those kinds of games. So, I agreed to this idea and jumped right into drawing.

Here’s the ...

SeaRem Spoilers

It’s time to share some behind-the-scenes material!

The next “arc” of the comic consists of 19 pages, and this is just the beginning. A heads-up:

There is no text here, but from the sketches, you can get an idea of the situation and what is happening. If you don’t want to spoil the joy of anticipation and ...

“Magical Oasis”

The illustration has been lying in wait, longing for the moment it would see the light…

This enchanting commissioned art piece is imbued with the atmosphere of the movie “Avatar”. You know how much I love that magical mood. And the glowing lights are my absolute weakness :D

Line art integrated into a classic...

Wallpaper of 2024 / August

I won’t say “The last month of summer,” because it brings sadness and longing. Instead, I’ll say that we need to stop dividing our lives into seasons and trying to “achieve” everything in its time. Just continue to fill each day with interesting events! Like Twiggle does – a little bundle of energy…

The Sweetest Fruit

This is my third piece for Artfight, made for rebellious-dragon. An unusual little creature that loves strange yellow fruits, as I imagined it :3

Bright Smile

I recently finished a classic portrait commission. It turned out to be a cheerful illustration bathed in sunlight with sparkles - just the way I love it!

Before this, there was another sketch, completely opposite - in darkness with stars, but it wasn't approved by the client. You'll see it in the speedpaint later.

Drawings of My Silly Dreams

I have a theory that my brain tries to protect me from stress during sleep by throwing in something very absurd… Or maybe genius?

The other night, I dreamed that I went to a restaurant with a very cool presentation of dishes. The first dish was the "Russian Cake," where each piece was a different kind of salad. The se...

Plush Altumar (Seriously)

It all started with a fun sketch of plush toys - Altumar and Dio. These adorable little characters captivated me, prompting the question: "Why not have one sitting next to me on my work desk?"

Years ago, I used to sew toys, aprons, and other quirky items as experiments. But this time, I decided to turn to a professional...

"Through the Snow" - New Art

This is the completed YCH that I showed earlier. Although the final character differs significantly from the sketch, I managed to fit it into the background seamlessly. Not without some editing, of course

As usual, there will be a speedpaint later, where you can see how I gradually change the white dragon to a dark one....

Wallpaper of 2024 / July

This transition from June to July is a significant event for me because this evening, I am returning home after a year of living by the Indian Ocean.

Here, without exaggeration, I learned to find new inspiration and create with excitement in my hands. To see the beauty in everything around you, especially in the azure n...

My first time participating in ArtFight

I really want to find sparring partners for this challenge, so I'm shouting out on all my social media: "Add me as a friend!!!"

Here's the link to my profile https://artfight.net/~ZHURZH

I really hope to draw many beautiful pictures, although it'...

Character Cards for Altumar + Viridi

I think many of you have often seen various character cards for filling out on the internet. Recently, I came across an interesting card in the format of a test—you go through it, mark the circles, and in the end, sum up the points to see how balanced your character is. Very cool!

Attaching the original, in case anyon...

Just a Joke

Not long ago, I finished a large line illustration with a pretty funny idea from Raven (FA, Twitter). Sometimes, some jokes get out of hand :D

Phew! That was the biggest story arc in the whole comic! A whopping thirteen pages where Alti told about his beloved. During this time, we also saw many new places underwater, touched on the communities and lives of wyverns, and even saw many of them!
