Patreon special WIP

Going with the mermay theme! A mermaid who came from the sea to land.

New video

Here's a new video I just finished editing!

WIP

Painting and filming this piece now🌸

New video!

Phew I just finished it. Finally these series is over! It really took a lot of my emotional sources. I want to draw something light and cozy and pink and the war to be over.

New pieces

The third piece from the series about leaving Russia (finally I was able to finish it! Also editing the video now) and a piece for Ukraine which I'm desperately waiting my scanner for 😞

Painting

I also painted this painting lately! I watched "Blue Period" anime and it inspired me to paint something big A LOT. I used acrylic paints for that, and I find really nice that you can buy Ukrainian paints here! A little something to support their economy, not that much though.

WIPs

Did these two sketches lately, just about a nice peaceful day I dream about ❤

OH MY GOD

Guyyssss just look at this!!! I just got a parcel from a company that makes fabric that commissioned me last November-December (and when I almost died of burnout hahaha). They should've send me it back in February but something went wrong with the shipping and at that time I left my country so it was good that they weren't able to ship it out!
And finally I see it in person with my own eyes and it looks so nice!!! They even made me a sweatshirt and two pouches but I asked only for fabric ...

Patreon special video

Please bear with my bandaged finger hahaha i guess it's with me for quite a while. I'm so tired of it... 

But I'm really glad I managed to draw a picture for you this month!! Hopefully I will be able to keep doing it!

Patreon special

It's blooming outside and dark inside
(I'm sorry it's a photo, not a scan this time, I'm waiting for my friend to send me my scanner over so hopefully I will be able to scan it after!)

Patreon special WIP!!

Drawing this because everything is in bloom here.
It's still hard to draw but I can hold a pencil and a brush so it's okay! It's really a nice feeling to be able to draw again I'm feeling maybe.. happy?.. I'm not sure if I can feel any happiness and if I'm allowed to, but I'm really glad to be able to hold a pencil again!

Good news!

Just got my stitches removed from my finger! Hope I will be able to use it soon! Ughh I want to draw soo badlyyy!!

Video part two

Part three will take a while because I didn't manage to draw it before cutting my finger and now I can't draw until it get healed D: it should be about 5 days more so I hope then I will be able to draw! 

I'm also thinking about Patreon special, it's not good to skip it again this time so I'll do my best to draw it, but I have no idea what to draw. Do you have any suggestions maybe?

New video!

I'm sorry, it took quite a while to make D:

I can't draw again

Ok, situation 😂 I've got my finger on my working hand cut and wired. First time in my life I've got something in my body wired. And I also got to know Georgian hospital (but it's sad that it happened before I got an insurance 😭 so I has to pay quite... a decent amount of money). But it's okay, I'm just praying my finger to get healed😭😭 Not posting photos because it may trigger, there was quite a lot of blood.
How it happened? I was doing dishes and cleaning a glass container an...

New pieces!

First two pieces from the Escape series. Video soon!

I'm doing okay, trying to calm down, feel a bit less hate towards myself, live and work. Let's do our best.

New video

So, new video... I just have nothing to say. The name of this video is *** ***** means "нет войне" being censored and people getting in jail even for this slogan. Yes, seriously. They even caught people holding a bank card "МИР" which name means "peace/world" and a package of meat МИРАТОРГ, because it had the same МИР in the name. The absurdity and surrealism. 

Something broke inside me after seeing what happened in Bucha... And I understand that the same exac...

Stuff

Drawing a poster for protests right now! Also filming the process, so hopefully there will be a video soon! I feel like I haven't drawn for ages, and it's kind of true in terms of this big format. Last time it was... in university, I guess? Almost ten years ago? Oh my god.
I still have no working place, we planned to go and look for it today but one of the persons I now live with doesn't come... well, I hope I will get a nice table soon. Now there's only a mattress and a big wardrobe in my...

Parallel world

I just was on protests in Tbilisi related to our opposition leader Navalny got 9 years of prison for his corruption fight and I cried a lot. The feeling of being able to just stay there, say what you think, that you're against war, and not to fear to get jailed is just... oh. I think I need time to get used to it. Police just stayed there, protecting the building (it was Ministry of Switzerland) and nodding to us then we were shouting. I can't believe it, it feels like a parallel universe. 2022-03-22 18:15:39 +0000 UTC View Post

Finally I'm drawing something

Drawing my way and experience with escaping with my girls doing that. There will be three pieces about that.
I just thought that I barely can draw something else and since I get my inspiration from life this is the obvious thing to draw right now.
I don't remember, did I told you that I found a place to stay for a while in Tbilisi? If not, here is it. I still don't have a proper place to work, I'm drawing on our (with my new housemates) dining table, but it's at least something to start...

I got a place

Finally, it seems like I got a place to stay for a while! I hope so, I still have a lot of things to worry about, but at least I have a rooftop to sleep under and place to cook food! still don't have a table to work on, I hope I can fix that soon.

I'm really sorry for all people who sent me private messages here!!🙏 I just should check it more often, Patreon doesn't notify about direct messages.

Arrived

Arrived at Tbilisi safely yesterday!
Will be busy searching for a place to stay.
First impressions: there us a lot of stray cats and people walking their dogs. Comparing to Yerevan, where I saw like maybe two or three cats for 10 days, no one walking their dog and A LOT of stray dogs (which is my big fear, but they was kind of calm, comparing to stray dogs in my hometown).
Also, there's a lot of Ukraine-related symbols outside. Hopefully I could get to the protests today!!

Tattoo!

I got the photo! A cat bell for a good luck.

Update

We are going to Tbilisi tomorrow. I hope it will be okay! I'm ready to accept all hate I gonna get from people, I understand everything and I'm ready. I will be missing Yerevan honestly, people here are wonderful.

I also met my follower from Russia, who also run away to Yerevan. She is a tattooist and does watercolor tattoos. She made me a present and just did a tattoo for me! Who will ever thought that I will be in foreign country with people I just met a week ago and getting a new t...

News

Just an update

I'm still in Yerevan, because the place we booked before leaving got cancelled.
It seems like we will try to go to Tbilisi in a few days but currently I am stucked here. I like the city though! We also went to mountains which helped with my mental condition a lot
I finally had some willing to draw, which I find a good sign, but I still can't draw because of lacking of working place and inner "peace" to create. Hopefully I will be able to draw soon! But I'm not su...

GOOD NEWS!!!!

I just landed in Erevan, Armenia!!!! Oh my god that was very scary, I cleaned all my history and deleted all suspicious apps so I will be released from country. Acted like a complete happy vatnik who is doing to just travel.
Just ate my first proper meal since Feb 24th and cried into the soup I ordered.

Two days here and way to Tbilisi next.
Oh my god I can't believe I did it.

Another not pleasant post

So, things are going worse and worse. He is crazy. Propaganda is crazy. People in my district are acting like nothing happens, like a lot of people in my country.

I planned to run away to Georgia. I have tickets for this Sunday. But guess what... there's rumors from the sources I tend to believe that he will announce martial law tomorrow. My last hope just crashed. That means that we can't leave our country, we can't go protest (we can't now too, but it will be like, super illegal and ...

This is not a pleasant post

I can TW that everything is bad here, so please just don't read if it may trigger you in any case. I need some place where I can talk about my thoughts that are killing me.

So, after protests, I managed somehow to finish this month special picture and video. Next month? who knows. Will I still be able to draw for living, will it be possible for me to film videos for Youtube and everything else? WIll I be able to draw at all? I don't know. Anyway thank you so much for being wi...

Peace

Peace

Please make peace, not war.
