Hey guys!

Nothing urgent, I just wanted to show you this cutie!

My sister creates wonderful things for every taste, just take a look! ^^

Just a little friendly reminder - guys, if you are going to take an order from an artist, give THEIR works as an example, and not works by another author which are completely different in style, performance and theme. I have seen so many copies in recent years that it sometimes kills in me any desire to publish personal art.

Inspiration is normal and great. But copying and mindlessly borrowing elements is not an inspiration.

Thank you for your attention.

And I just want to say... thank you so much for your interest and activity, guys! I really appreciate it!
Thanks for staying with me!

LITTLE FOXIE PIC <3

Only now I had time for this post... but I think it's better late than never! This time I'm even without a New Year picture, but I plan to fix it on holidays. :D

I want to say - thank you so much for staying in touch, writing warm comments and letters, supporting commissions and links! I hope everything will be fine with you in the new year, your plans will be fulfilled, your life will bring pleasure and karma overtook all the bad guys who disturbed you! >:3

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I just want to say that it was a wonderful trip, full of positive emotions and new impressions. But returning home is always a special pleasure. A couple of days to take a break from the road and I again get to work! Yay! :D

(this is a random photo but one of my favorites)

Hey guys!

Tomorrow I'll go for vacation to warm up a bit, take a walk on the sand and get new freckles. I'll be back in the second half of October so until that time I'll not be in touch (or I will but very little). Upon return, I'll reply all of you, finish commissions and most part of the current project, so updates are expected! And there will be Halloween soon... by the way about it!

I would like to show you something cool from JarviTiralin! She has awesome Halloween stuff for sale, just take a look!

Thank you for attention, take care and stay cool. :в

Hello guys!

I just want to say that I can't take new commissions in my normal mode at the moment because of another job. And this will continue until the fall at least. But those people who wrote to me earlier in the spring and wanted to commission - if you haven't changed your mind please note me, so we will think of something! :)

Also, maybe later I can take a few slots for simple things but I can't say more precisely.

Thank you for attention!

Hey there!
I updated the assortment of prints on my RedBubble! Now I have lot of new, including 'Ink' pictures and cacti. Check it out!

You can always give me feedback and tell me which prints you would be interested in my performance! :>

Hello guys!

I want to inform you that a wonderful crafter is open for commissions! She creates amazing and varied things, such as jewelry, figurines, miniatures, etc. I have some of them and I can say with confidence that this person make every detail with zeal and love (no, seriously, you just take a look at this miniature banjo! <3)



Check it out!

The persistent physical sensation that you are beginning to become blind, makes you look at many things quite differently. It's creepy, it's unsettling but when a terrible diagnosis is not confirmed, it's incredibly good (although the problem has not been solved yet). I really had a lot of energy and nerves for useless things - constant dissatisfaction with myself, "you have to do better, it's all bad, you do not try at all!" - all this nonsense came together and drove into such a longing. But when I lost important for me, all the stupid doubts and fears fell away at once. Many thanks to my friends who tirelessly supported me, encouraged me every day and did not let me down. <3

I'm still experiencing difficulties while drawing, but I'm gradually returning to this. Thank you for patience and support!

Hello guys!

Hope you are okay! Just want to say that right now I'm working on a queue of commissions and a few more things at the same time. Unfortunately, recently my eyes are very tired so I take breaks to preserve my health. It's okay, I just need a little more time than usual + I try to do my best. Hope for your understanding. :)

Also, thank you all for your attention and interesting! I began to receive many questions about the characters and the world in which they live. It always motivates me to do more stuff for you!

UPD: Commissions are closed, thank you! Maybe I'll open commissions again in mid-April but now I'll work on the current queue. If you plan to take a slot in April or May - just send me a note!

Hello guys.

As I promised, here are some news about the recent situation that happened to my friend. I must say that I was wrong and made hasty conclusions. But I'm really glad that I was wrong.

Because of frequent cases of fraud I was extremely angry and concerned. I thought I saw the situation correctly, but I shouldn't have rushed. The problem was in the bank and the card, I didn't think that this was possible and therefore didn't foresee this. The customer responded to my friend and returned the money, explaining the whole situation. So I apologize to this person and hope that I haven't spoiled anyone's attitude towards him. Everything was resolved very peacefully and I'm happy for my friend now.

Thank you for your attention and advices! In any case, they will be useful to us in the future.

Oookay, I'm just in the process of designing some armor for sale and getting TOO involved. As always.

I'm still not sure how it will look, maybe I'll do an auction for the first time or something like that. Because I'm not sure how many people will be interested in this. At least I will try.

So that clothes "don't hang out in the air" I draw it on a random anthro wolf or dog. They are simple, don't have any character, history or name, so maybe it will be a good start to making a new character for someone else or just use only clothes for OC. This is a complicated idea and I'm still thinking about its implementation. I would like to take into account the individuality of each and bring something nice. *sigh*

UPD: Commissions are closed, thank you!

And you just saw a picture called "why I don't want to work in my specialty". ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

For a better understanding of the situation - this is a large dish the size of 35cm, I painted it with a nib and a thin brush. So today I saw that the dish broke in the oven. Well... it turned out very symbolic, because the theme of the symposium in which I participate is the IUCN Red List ("Red Book" in Russian). It reminds us that nature must be protected and preserved because in itself it is very tender. As well as porcelain.

Today I started another version of the Inktober. :D

I take part in the symposium of the overglaze (porcelain) painting. Today was my first day and I tried to remember how to do it, because I didn't do this for about three years. And I got pleasant emotions! I had to get used to the old pen, cause sometimes it gets clogged as soon as turpentine dries up. Yep, this thin stick with a metal tip is my pen. :D

I made the first plate to sample and it's not finished yet. After the end of the symposium and the burning of porcelain, I will try to make good photos.

Guys!

I just want to say thank you very much for the feedback! Your comments and personal messages make me smile and give me strength! Please forgive me for having been responding for a long time. Now I have a lot of work besides the Inktober and I really try to do everything in time (so my hand really hate me, yeah :D). So please don't take offense at me for this.

When this run will end, in November I'll pay more attention to personal arts (and, finally, I will continue my comics again!).

Besides that, I want to do something new. As you know, I don't create characters for sale or adopts, but I have some designs that just don't find their use and... and they just lie as sketches in a forgotten box. Usually these are simple anthro-wolves or -dogs of natural colors in ethnic costumes, ornaments or armor. I like to draw them very much but they don't have their own name and history, so it's just pretty clothes. I already asked about the costumes designs, so I thought, why not? Anyway, I want to try. Perhaps it will be interesting to someone. :)

Again, thank you for your attention and kind words! <3

Hello guys!

This year I'm participating in the Inktober for the first time. Aaaand I've already posted my first picture on my tumblr-blog. But I want to ask you: do you want to see these works in my gallery or do you prefer to see a large collage of it at the end of the month? I don't want to spam you with it, but on the other hand, some people asked me to post same pictures. I just want to know your opinion. :)

Hello again guys!

I just returned from my vacation, these were two wonderful weeks in the country called Kyrgyzstan. In particular, the Issyk-Kul lake. I even post some photos on my tumblr blog here, here and here (if you are interested, of course! :D)

Now I need a little rest from the long road, do some business and sort out the mail. Sorry if I made you wait with a responce, but I was practically not online these two weeks. I have some drawings in my sketchbook, as well as ideas for new works, so soon there will be updates. Also I'll be ready to take commissions soon too, so you still can write your suggestions in this journal entry.

Hi guys!

I have some news! For now I need to rest and take a break from commissions, but I'll come back with this in August or September. And I think to make up a price for several types of commissions, such as icons, chibies, headshots, illustrations and more (which will include drawing animals, anthro and people characters). So I want to know what's interesting to you? Maybe you want something more decorative or stylized, cards with your characters or thematic arts? Feel free to ask! Leave a comment or send me a note, you can add some of my pictures for an example. I want to make the choice of goods more diverse, but I need your help in this case!

Thank you all for your attention and feedback! Hope everyone has a great summer!

Hello guys!

I want to ask you something.
What do you think about the YCHs (Your Character Here) Auctions on my FA-account? Sometimes I draw lots of scenes, just to relax, but most of these pictures go back to the table. So I thought maybe someone of you will be interested in it? Because it's great to draw not just a random picture, but a character that has its own history. It makes every picture come to life. And if it would be interested, I could do such activities periodically at different seasons, holidays and events.

My second question is, what do you prefer to see as YCH? For now I can do:
- little cuties
- something simple but more realistic
- decorative illustration

Also I usually draw a canine, but it may be a feline too for example.
In general, I would like to hear your suggestions and opinions about this!
