July Progress

It turns out that returning home is not that easy either. Right now, most of my time goes to commissions to earn money and find a way to return home or settle down elsewhere. I did manage to find s...

June Progress

It seems I've jinxed it. Turned out the information I found this March stopped being accurate this May so all my plans were ruined and I spent the last two weeks trying to find affordable rent. I f...

May Progress

The situation is got stable enough for me to start getting back to working on the cartoon. I picked up from the scene I started back in February and mostly finished the rough frames.

A long month

At 5:15 in the morning of the 24th of February, I and my wife were woken up by three distant explosions. Later we learned that it was a Russian guided missile strike on a military airbase nearby. W...

Still alive

Me and my family are fine. We moved to a safer zone and I will resume working as soon as we find an apartment to rent.

Force majeure

Due to the escalation of Russian aggression I and my family are in a very unstable position here in Ukraine. For now, I need to spend more time on work to create a financial buffer in case things g...

Apology about WIPs

I want to apologize to all people who are or were patrons on tier Invested ($10) and Generous ($20) for my failure to provide WIPs of published scenes. I published one WIP for scene 020 with a low-...

January Progress

This month I finished one scene. I'm still struggling to find the balance between earning money and working ...

Scene 037

Flour is essential in the recipe.

December Progress

Still learning to draw human interiors. This month I finished a background used in 2 scenes and character animation for them. 2021-12-31 19:20:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Scene 036

One of 2 scenes with this background I finished this month. Lydia goes shopping.

MOTION DETECTED!

Lydia installed infrared motion detectors on her van and programmed the surveillance monitors to turn on so she could check if there is any danger at any time. Sometimes it's nothing. Sometimes it'...

November Progress

I feel kinda stupid because in all years I've been drawing, I almost never drew buildings or room interiors. Now it's hitting me but I'm learning and finding my own workflow on interior backgrounds...

Scene 034

Well. This scene took me even longer to finish than scene 022. At least this makes work on other scenes of t...

October Progress

Buildings. Why are buildings so difficult.

This months I was working on materials for the convenience store sequence and the establishing shot of it. The establishing shot also acts as the co...

September Progress

Kinda embarrassing to admit but I spent almost a week trying to design one of the grocery store scenes. Then I realized that not having a layout of the scene was much bigger problem than I thought....

Scene 024

A short scene before the river crossing sequence. Don't know yet how to make the water look less static, but I'll get back to it in post-production.

Frank Sullivan collage 1

A collage from the first six unique portraits I made for the ask blog.

Trying on

While scouting Lydia noticed a cute sundress on a shopfront. The window was already smashed by someone, so she carefully got in. When she was sure nobody and nothing was inside, she took the dress ...

August Progress

During the month I finished the previous month's scene and 2021-09-05 14:18:40 +0000 UTC View Post

Scene 022

In the teaser there was one mission scene between Lydia crossing the road and looking at the faceless monster and this is that scene.

July Progress

For six weeks straight the temperature in my apartment was between 30°C and 33°C with rare nights having around 28°C. This severely affected my productivity. Because of this, it took me embarras...

Scene 028

Sorry. It seems I wouldn't be able to finish the scene in time. I just started working 2 days ago but the hardest part is finished. I just need to make clean lines, shading, and the background and ...

June Progress

The heatwave is hitting me hard. So hard that only now I noticed that I didn't make the monthly progress report. I feel so ashamed...

Under summer heat I only had enough energy to make one sc...

Scene 001

The first scene in the spike-faced mutant sequence is the last to be finished. When I was working on the background I realized that it takes way too much time to build the background and I often br...

Kristina the Reborn

A new character for Lydia's story. One of the few infected who's actually happy with her new body. 

May progress

I was exhausted for the whole month for some reason so I only finished one scene. What's left is the last sc...

Scene 008

Lydia's sight is far from perfect. Most people with albinism have astigmatism and many other eyesight problems. At the post-production stage I'm planning to do a better research on the issue and ed...

April progress

Two more scenes are finished and now there is only two more scenes left in the spiked mutant sequence. One scene...

Scene 005

Third published monthly scene. The spiked mutant's "arm" has found something.
