End of Code:Genom
Posted 2 years agoHello there, everyone. To be honest I’m not sure how to start this one. As you could notice, for a very long while I’ve been abscent and have been doing almost nothing at all. My personal irl issues and war in Ukraine pretty much have broken me in more ways than one and the last year has been nothing but a pure torture both physically and psychologically. I’ve been trying to cope with this in some ways, but in the end I decided to ask help from a psychiatrist and we’ve been working issues out for some time. Which in return made me see some things I tried not to see before... and make some decisions.
Due to some inspiration from some artists I’ve seen, I tried doing my own little fun mini comics named “C:G shorts”, where same characters would be put memeing or joking around. I thought that by doing these I will be able to release some ideas or some pent ups, but as I did those further, I discovered that on the contrary it worked aganst my own self. They worked as if I was trying to be somebody I was not, trying to get something other people had, yet I don’t... Despite me planning out nearly 50 of those on paper, the more I drew those, the more I understood that it was a useless deadbeating. Pretty pathetic, I know, but I guess I wanted to try.
I’ve also been planning out Code:Genom all this time. You know what they say, that when man suffers, they get inspirational and all that. This war that’s going has given me a lot of unique perspectives and thoughts that I decided to incorporate into the story of my own - the hypocricy of goverments, propagandas and all that... I have a lot of ideas boiling inside me that I wanted to share, but the more I was sitting and the more I was planning it out, the more I understood that it all would require an insane amount of work and motivation... that I simply do not have... No. Wasn’t able to find, despite trying. This is a little “goodbye” post that is targeted more for me than anyone else, really, for I need to realise that I need to let go of this dream of mine.
Yes, I’ve been working on this universe for over 8 years by this point, I’ve written there my best ideas, my personal views, pretty much incorporated my soul, but what’s the point of continuing if there’s no one to listen to it, right? What sense is there to continue nursering the dream that doesn’t touch the souls of other people. It’s like lying on the operation table with your guts out, but still being completely ignored by the hospital stuff, picking up your entrails in hope somebody will fix you up after noticing, only to be left keep doing this until the lights fade out and you find out that you were all alone in the room from the start. This feeling is what I’ve been living with for years now and I’m just tired. I want to give up. And I think I will. I can no longer bear it, I’m disappointed, tired and frustrated all the time and I can no longer cope with it.
Whatever my dreams were, I think I’m burying them right now right here with this message. At the very least after I’m done realising it, I will finally be free of my personal torture, got rid of ambitions and be left with just now. Whatever the now is.
I’ve finally decided to close “Code:Genom” and “C:G shorts” for good. There won’t be continuation.
Code:Genom mattered a world to me, but to the world it mattered not. So it must be let go.Free art raffle on twitter

✨!-Art trade-!✨
Posted 3 years agoI'm open to an idea of art trading with someone. Let's get in contact and come up with something interesting! I'm open to your ideas.
If you'd like to have it a go with me - write me in PMs here.
It has been a very difficult month to get through, both physically and mentally, and I feel like I'm at the bottom atm. I don't really have any motivation nor ideas that would motivate me.
But I would like to have one. So let's see if we could come up with something together!

What is going on? Little update
Posted 3 years agoI've been out of the picture for some while and simply decided to share some info on what's going on:1. I'm Ukrainian, but I'm not stationed in Ukraine, so I'm fine, don't worry about me.
2. Since the war started I have been in a constant stress - I still have friends and relatives in Ukraine. They are all in constant danger. I've lost communication with some of them.
3. Me and my family are currently sharing our apartments with some Ukrainian friends (3 families with children) refugees that came from Kyiv - that's all we can do wiht our current financial status. We hope that German government will be able to help and accomodate them asap. A huge "Thank You!" to Germany for all of their support in this crisis!
4. After the war has started I've lost my only possible job that I was about to get.
Unfortunately searching for a job as a game developer (neither PC nor Mobile) in Germany has brought no results yet (it's been 5 unsuccessfull months).
I'm back to square one.
Naturally government is not happy about it and it seems that they want me to work in other fields where I have no experience and no motivation. This fact bothers me greatly.
I'm kind of desperate at this point, not gonna lie.
5. My PC has broken - the grafik card is fried, ventilators are broken and other mess... It requires repairs, so I gave it up to people in order for them to fix everything. It will cost me a plenty, I have no other choice though, because I have no other tech to work with. My PC is the only thing I have.
6. I have completely broken my connections with my mother on the Russian side. She has upset me greately. Describing it as "heartbroken" is to say nothing about it.
Because of everything that is happening I'm in a lot of stress. I'm okay physically, but my mind is going nuts. Never have I ever thought that something terrible like this could've happened even in theory.
Because of that I was struggling with drawing anything at all. I don't feel like it's the time for drawing sexy themed art... it's just not what is happening in my mind a.t.m.
Despite that recently I was getting some motivation back to work on my project again, but... PC is toast. The only way to look for a job and to keep working is in repairs that will eat some serious amount of my personal savings (which I haven't had a lot to start with tbh). And it will take time, because there's no required part on the market (as I was told). So yeah... fml I guess.
Despite these news - I wanna thank Amt921, Skoll666 and 1 Anonymous for their support via Ko-fi - your donations will help me to partially pay these repairs.
Thank you, you awesome people! <333
Your support in these trying times means so freaking lot, you have no idea!
In general - everything is just completely f*cked right now.
I don't know how it will go and when I will be able to come back to drawing.
Since the world has gone to absolute shit, please take care of yourself. I don't know what is real anymore but the only thing I know for sure - I want all of you to be safe and healthy.
Please take care and watch out for others if you have such an opportunity.
"Nothing is true, everything is permitted."Personal state regarding Ukrainian conflict
Posted 3 years agoDue to the growing conflict in Ukraine on the border of the NRD and NRL, I feel that I need to say a few words.
I understand that people subscribe to me, either for the art with beautiful women, or for the sake of rare-ish sci-fi art pieces, and not for the sake of another politics take. I myself do not like politics, I do not understand them and I try to avoid them in order to not talk about them. But now I think I need to make an exception this one single time.
Why? Because I am myself a Ukrainian and originally from Luhansk, on the border of which hostilities are currently underway. And although, thanks to my parents, I am currently far from this conflict, I still have relatives and friends who are not so lucky and who are in the middle of these terrible events.
A few years ago, my family and I were forced to drop everything and flee our hometown - those were the worst years of my life. Seeing that this situation is happening again and not seeing a positive outcome, it is extremely painful for me to watch two peoples who kill each other for the sake of some nonsense. This situation becomes even worse due to the fact that I myself am not able to change anything. Yes, I myself live away from conflict, but despite my situation, I myself am not in the best condition - I am still unemployed, without a stable income, periodically experiencing bouts of depression and anxiety attacks, have health problems and do not understand at all where my own life goes. Right now my friends and relatives who left behind are in the middle of this chaos, and I have no resources or ways to help them. It's eating me up inside because all I can do is sit back and hope everything works out for them… That they will not be blown up, shot, killed, etc. But looking at everything that happened before and everything that is happening now, thoughts of the worse escalation of the situation do not leave me...
I do not understand politics and my understanding of the political scene is extremely poor, so I am not going to say who is right or who is wrong. In my opinion, this whole war is pure rubbish, which should not be happening to start with. I am Ukrainian, but I have relatives and friends in Russia whom I dearly love very much. I do not consider Russia an enemy and I do not want them to consider us their enemies. Back in the day, we all called each other brothers and sisters, and I sincerely miss those times. The common folk do not need this conflict, it makes no sense, and the lost souls cannot be returned, and for what sake all of this is done no one truly understands.
As I’ve already mentioned I understand that the people who follow me on Twitter and in other media do not do it for the sake of politics and therefore this will be my only post about what is happening - I do not want to burden you with more problems than those you already have in your lives. I understand that many people just want to abstract themselves from the horrors that are happening in the world to keep their sanity, so comedies, puppies and videos with kittens are popular on the Internet.
I can't find a place for myself right now, but because of my absolute uselessness, I will try to fill myself with work in order to just lose my mind in it.
I will not bring this topic up again and will try to continue to release more positive content in near future.
Just know that the situation happening in my homeland frightens and terrifies me to the core of my mind.
I do not wish harm to anyone and just want this nightmare to end without unnecessary casualties as soon as possible. Whether you are a Ukrainian, or a Russian, or anyone else on this planet Earth, know that I hope that all these tragedies will bypass you and those you care about.
Bread, salt, peace to your home.

I. Am. In. Awe!
Posted 4 years agoErm, hello there, everyone!
You have no idea what an emotioonal roll ride it is for me today. It's hard to believe something like this has even happened.
I have never had any kind of community nor following so I have no clue how to do it properly, but I just wanted to put it out for people to see if they stumbled across this and if they get interested.
Hi! I'm Phantas or Phanta or Phantasis (pick whatever suits your liking).
I'm 27 y.o., artist from Ukraine. I'm a programmer, but I like doing art more, so I want to work as a 2d and 3d artist.
I speak English, Russian, Ukrainian and a little bit of Deutsch. You can adress me with whatever language you find more suitable.
I like drawing furry characters both male and female in sci-fi/futuristic themes. I also like medieval and fantasy genre, but haven't done anything in it yet.)
I have moved to the foreign country because I lost my home due to war a few years ago and during this time I have developed my own world that is "Code:Genom", that I decided to make real via a comic format which I insanely love.
During 5 last years I've been writing down ideas, characters, their development and their adventures so that one day I could tell their stories to the world. 3 years ago I moved to Germany and I started executing my dream.
I've done it all - concept arts, design researches, logos, world building, storyboarding and so on. I've also created my own web-site for this comic at https://www.codegenom.com/ so that people could leave their feedback (negative and positive) and could inform themselves about this project via FAQ and various fodlers with lore and races, also so that they could familiarize themselves with characters that they could meet in the future. And then of course the comic itself. It took me 8 months to finalise 1 issue, due to the fact that this was my first ever drawn comic in my life.
And unfortunately it was far from the blast...
I've gotten tons of critique and very little psoitives. Just FYI I pay for the web-site and I've gained nothing from the comic. I've sacrificed a lot for it, including my time, money and, as it turned out, a part of my sanity in the end. For a year there was nothing happening, it was like I was drawing into the void, without being seen by anyone anywhere. It was rough for me mentally and it burned me out pretty harshly. You can add my everyday real life's stress in the foreign country where I don't have anyone but my family to it and... it broke me pretty badly.
Until today. I don't know what happened nor what has clicked, but I was seen by Mindmachine who has decided to help purely out of his kindness.
I have never met, nor seen, nor spoken to this person before and this kind of kindness is something I have not experienced for a very long time. He kickstarted the wave of people who came to voice their support both on FA and on Twitter and I can't stress enough, how insane it was for me to wake up to see so many notifications out of nowhere! Today I've spent my entire day communicating with people, talking to them, reading their kind words and positive feedback, something that I lacked for my entire life. This is amazing. I can't express myself well enough to share this experience, when yo ufeel like what you do matters to people.
Not only that, but in a single day following on FA has become bigger than my 1,5 year sole struggle on Twitter, which blows my mind, because I haven't spent time on FA, due to no communication here from anyone at all before. I'm just in awe, really. I don't understand how it works)).
Anyway.
If you are reading this, please know, that I value your feedback, whoever you are. I love communicating and talking to people, so please feel free to start a discussion with me.
I'm mostly free, so feel free to collab with me or commission me if you like what I do.
I will also forever and ever be extremely glad, if you decide to support my personal project "Code:Genom" by whatever means you see fit for you. Even leaving a simple like on project's web-site's page will go a long way.
Whoever you are, wherver you are, thank you for your time and attention.
I hope you will like what I'm trying to do with my skills here.
Love ya <3
