BTW - do you remember this panel from Slavic Nihilism #1?
It's nothing serious and I do not imply any sort of "Slav Nihilism Universe" or "continuity" (because this geek shit is poison), but I love having these tiny anchors in my stories. I think of "Old Man Gorcha" (whose name I borrowed from "Th...

Let's begin this new month with some disembowelment and heavy swearing (my translator friend Yuri was very happy to use words "putrid ass" in any of his works at least once).
Also - fun fact: a year ago, on April Fool's Day I announced the next Slavic Nihilism furry detective graphic novel,...

This guy is about to throw a huge temper tantrum! I really love this character - his shittiness is very down to earth and his good qualities will never be shown, hahaha.

And we have a video for this week!
You may remember some nuances of my work process from Slavic Nihilism #1 (I really need to do a nice big post about it!) The entire comic was done in a medium-size Moleskine notebook (you can check ano...

UGH! I almost forgot to mention that (as it was with #1) my main translator for this comics is my boi Yuriy Plisenko. And it's a good occasion to give a shout out to his great little collection of comics MIDNIGHT (all drawn by 2018-03-23 13:00:59 +0000 UTC View Post
Yep, no kidding - Slavic Nihilism #1 was a horror book, and now this story for #2 is something Western-ish... BUT with fairy tale animals.
W@hen it comes to fairy tales, here in Russia we have a fantastic pool of Soviet-era illustrations and cartoons - and there are a LOT of Russian tales about animals (no shit, Sherlock!). I think it's imprinted on man...

I'm going to do some razor inking on this week (kudos to our lord and savior Alberto Breccia!), so here's one of my favorite comic pages I've done in a while on which I used this technique (just a little) for the first time:
So here are the seven strips of this thingie we have so far - my favorite (probably ever!) panel included, with the guy biting his stolen apple.

Hey hey hey!
Let's keep it hush-hush for some time, but here's the opening page from the second story for Slavic Nihilism #2 - written (in very general terms) by me, co-written and drawn by incredibly talented Dmitry Nesterak.
I won't be posting that much previews for it, because I really want to keep most of the story shrouded in mystery... But just know that I'm...

My main story from second issue of SLAVIC NIHILISM anthology project begins here!
Of course, it is meant for be printed later this year (along with another - very diffident - story from #2), but initially I want to run this as a 3 panel strip online, first here, then on the other platforms. I think that with relatively fre...

Here's my fun little sketchbook from the first half of Inktober month of 2017. I was planning to spend second half of that month preparing this for print as a tiny book (just in time for our local Halloween-flavored comic convention, mind you!) - but ended up catching a nasty flu and lying half-dead for nearly a week. But maybe I'll print it along with Slavic Nihilism #2 later this year... ...

So, I have a small question - how do you feel about this type of posts going up as often as $1 posts? Maybe I should accumulate 2-3 longer videos instead to post them once in a week or two?
Let me know what you think in the comments, people! I'm not sure how Patreon users feel about frequent notifications in their e-mails.

I love using my lightbox and screentones (helps to avoid dealing with my usual digital pencils printouts and overtly digital look of the tones done in Mangastudio or PS), but on 1:25 you'll be getting a comedic moment of me realizing how stupid I am even for relatively simple trickery, haha :D

So here's a type of videos you'll be getting from me on $1 tier. It's sped up to 30 times. And longer (x5-6) versions of each video will be available for $3 patrons.
I really hope you'll enjoy these videos! Thanks to my new phone I can finally make a lot of those in relatively nice quality.
Are you okay with the silence, or some music would be good, too? Let me know in the comments please!...
