Finished writing the main arc! Just one chapter left to conclude the script. I'll go over the entire draft afterwards, make some corrections, and then disappear into the renpy mines. I think the whole thing turned out a bit drearier than I expected lol

more ZATO stuff. the script is about 2/3rds done
ive watched a bunch of different 80s crime dramas recently and my conclusion is that 99% of soviet high schoolers wore that exact haircut

I realised that since it's taking place in the 80s, they'd have to be wearing soviet uniforms, so I had to redesign their outfits... What a dreary little colour scheme. The script is also over halfway done:)
Serg illustration coming on Sunday (for real this time)🚶♂️🚶♂️

aiaiai i'm not managing to finish the illustration before the end of the week, have a small sketch dump in the meantime🙏
This is just some concept sketches for Z.A.T.O., a short mystery VN I've been writing. The story follows the disappearance of a girl in the closed town on Vorkuta-5. I'm averaging 2500 words a day so far, and right now I'm about a third of the way through I believe (20K words written). Should be a couple hours long when it's done:)
I'm tapping into the commo...
2025-04-19 18:46:44 +0000 UTC View PostGuys bad news I got an out of nowhere spark of inspiration for a project literally no one asked for but I've been so in the zone for the past two days and I've already made more progress on it than I ever had on any other attempted projects of this type. I think not treating the writing process too seriously helps a lot, it's genuinely the most fun I've had with making something in a while.
It started so spontaneously, so I'm afraid that I might burn out really quickly. I also can't pr...
2025-04-12 20:18:46 +0000 UTC View PostThank you all so much for your input! I've read everything and I'm really grateful for everyone's advice and support💥💥
Special thanks to everyone who suggested Vograce - I've been really struggling with finding a local charms/keychain manufacturer, and this looks like the best option by far:) As for the storefront, I've been thinking of Bigcartel before and I think I'll stick to that.
I'm just gonna be testing the waters with the first batch, so I'll limit myself to 3 sticke...
2025-04-09 00:49:49 +0000 UTC View PostI've been seriously considering making some simple merch the last few days, just stuff like stickers and charms, maybe pins. Things I could pack and send out on my own. Right now I'm trying to work out some very basic designs/sticker sheet layouts and looking into local printing services:)
I'm prioritising PAFL of course, but some stuff with BGH or my older songs could also be cute... That's for the future, though.
If you have any advice/suggestions, I'd really appreciate tho...

Rough was based on a short story I started writing somewhere between 2020 and 2021. It followed a similar chain of events to the comic, with Arthur retrieving a drug stash, Yura catching him in the act, following him to the park, and provoking a fight, which would lead to Arthur pulling a knife on him.
I reach into the o...

rewatched Dogma like a week ago. awesome evil angel yaoi. better feminist movie than barbie
also doodled half of these while watching the graduate. it was really good!
2025-04-03 00:29:54 +0000 UTC View PostFINISHED ROUGH'S TRANSLATION WAHOOO
Spent the whole day and night doing the final proofreading lap with friends, as well as drawing the cover:) though I gotta figure out the export settings for the latter, I forgot how my comic file preset messed up the contrast...
Ah, I'm gonna make some adjustments to it regardless
And once that's done, I'm gonna post both versions of Rough publicly! Which will be tomorrow💥💥 (or later today if you're in Europe lol)

watched donnie darko last week. it was cool:)
2025-03-16 16:23:38 +0000 UTC View PostAre you guys up for a behind the scenes post on Rough? I think some of the changes it went through as it was adapted from the short story were pretty interesting.
The post with random unpublished PAFL writings will instead count as lore, sorry it's taking a while to do the translations🙏

I want to do illustrations for all of them, so the poll will prolly just decide the order in which I do these🏄
Animating the MV slowly but steadily! It's annoying how I can't show almost anything because of spoilers... On the other hand, the Yana song should come out pretty soon! As in probably this week🙌
2025-03-03 17:44:20 +0000 UTC View Posti think it's funny how the third song shows up for like 10 seconds but i gotta fill the silence somehow

I saw a hill of really tall reeds at a park in Warsaw. They were 2-3 metres tall, I've never seen ones that huge. They left a pretty big impression
2025-02-28 23:12:41 +0000 UTC View Postforgot to mention, i bought Rose:)
i've been eyeing her for a while, i think her voice should fit my songs well

Finished the rough (lol) translation of the comic today! I'll do an extra editing pass or two over the coming days, then get to redrawing all the effects text and whatnot. Really dreading this part, converting all the crazy speech bubble fonts to russian was tricky enough🥴
Working on the cover art as well:) The text is a placeholder, I'm still figuring out what exactly I want to do with the typography and background. A wip is a wip lol

Sorry for the lack of updates over the past week! It's been getting really hard to draw anything, so my productivity dipped. I decided to take a 3-day break, and now that it's over, I'm back at it💪
I should probably schedule a regular day off during the week, since my current principle of working every day has been pretty draining. I'll see how I'll be feeling in the next 7 days, though. Right now I'm pretty pumped to be drawing again:)
Oh, also Kolya illustration + speedpaint ...
