1. Guys, remember that smoking is bad for your health! Don't be like Sergei!!!
In general, the picture with Sergei arose after my joke of the type:
- Friends, can you imagine if the matrix Voy will smoke?
The point is that Voy, when he gets very angry, begins to emit a dark, thick vapor that looks like soot and smells like something remotely resembling tobacco. And Sergei smoking tobacco would be a wildly amusing reference to his future reincarnation.

2. I love the image of Sorber as something sickly, dying, but at the same time an incredibly powerful and intelligent being. But the image of him with a cane does not mean that he is an invalid (though not without that): I originally gave him an image with a cane for the sake of... An image of a more important figure. Afterwards, an associate named Besarion appeared in his life, who turned his leg into a defective one, which is why Sorber runs with a cane, because he is unable to run otherwise.

3. Ko is the closest and most intimate character I've ever had. I've been drawing his character for about 9 years now, and he's never bothered me.
Ko is a serious, honest and responsible person. I prescribed him a hard path, through which he was able to go, but acquired many chronic illnesses that prevent him from living fully well. But he is a strong-willed character, for which I respect him.
