Over the table NSFW

Tell me, which one you'd like me to color first?

Kiss under the rain - JWDS

I missed digital watercoloring. 

NSFW sketch - JWDS

Getting back to normal, which means sharing  erotic art

The Cigarette - Dongsik portrait

Trying new painting techniques and working on more complex light and color shemes.

Autumn Walk - wip JWDS

I just want to draw my darling  lawful husbands walking together.

And polish my comic style a bit.

I was making a video tutorial and this happened

I am slowly crawling out of all the stuff that kept from drawing as much as usual!

Thinking about Dongsik - NSFW

Hi everyone! Sorry for not postng for a while. I was settling down in Antwerp and  moving into an empty apartment is quite a hectic time.

But now I have normal internet, an office table and a bed (i slept on  the floor for a first couple of weeks) and tons of art work deadlines aproaching!

But I'm back to drawing normally, I hope!

Which means a  lot of new art soon!

NSFW Geraskier - How should we name it?

Well that was probably the most complex artwork in terms of color and anatomy. 

It took a while, but I'm  so happy with the result!

Some JWDS self love WIP NSFW

Hi everyone! My and my partner moved to Antwerp just now, to seek a safer enviroment for LGBTQ couple which we are. Since Hungary became very homophobic and transphobic. So I was pretty busy, but now we are set up, so I'm back to art again! Here's some warm ups for you!

They are indeed...pretty warm.

JWDS NSFW pencil sketches

The best thing about being an artist is that you can always draw  some emotional smut about your favorite characters and tell everyone you've been just practicing anatomy.

side note: how I love  me a soft top dynamic...

Cover Art color

A cover artwork for a gay novel called "Shattered" (approximate tranlsation).

Breath Me - NSFW

That was the most complex painting of a couple having sex I've ever made.

But it was definitely worth it.

Tears

I keep on processing the emotions  I am going through due to horrible war in Ukraine.

So I do that through art and characters that help me express what I feel.

Horror of War (might be triggering)

.

Grief.

Hello everyone. Right now I'm in a very dark place along with the rest of the world.

As you know I was born Russian, even though I've left Russia 8 years ago due to homophobic laws and inhumane and criminal war crimes of Russia against Ukraine with the annexation of Crimea. 

We didn't want to have any ties with the government that treated both it's citizens and closest neighbors like that.

But few days ago, PUTIN started this ridiculous  awful war with Ukraine.

A kiss - mild NSFW

There's nothing than I love more than drawing male bodies. Especially when they are in love.

I hope you like the  result too.

Dongsik/Juwon - gentle kiss. Romantic watercolor

I'm back to watercoloring a bit...

VERY NSFW Geraskier - Faster

I feel like this picture has sound. Doesn't it?

Geo Archont

I am finishing all the stuff I  had suspended during my relapse. I hate having unfinished work!

So bear with me. But weird enough, I feel that my painting skill improved during the time I was sick and NOT painting.

Which actually proves a point - how important it is to take pauses for painting to keep  evolving. 

Health update

Hi my dears!

 Today is the first day after November 26 when my flare started, when I woke up feeling almost no numbness in my body and especially in my face. During first 3 weeks of the flare half of my face was so numb I couldn't even speak or eat normally.  

Lost quite an amount of weight due to this. 

Now 99% of my sensitivity is back. I still get disproportionally tired after long walks, but  I am ABLE to take long walks like 10k steps. A...

Portrait Study

Hi everyone!

I promiese, more fandom and erotic art is coming soon!

I am recovering, and  thus painting  in a relaxed way and trying to make more studies and portraits to  train skill and to slowly get back into painting. 

I am so grateful for your support, since lately ti though about how  incredibly important it is for an artist to have at least some safety income that ensures one can  get sick and have time for healing.

And also it's so...

Happy New Year and health update (a bit NSFW)

Hello everyone! A bit on health update!  I'm much better. Got the results of MRI test and lab tests. MRI states that i don't have any new MS nodes, just  the old ones flared up. Which is good, because it means that my illness is not progressing. It's just the result of long term stress (fuck the pandemic!) and probably viral load (I was sick like with a cold (or maybe it was omicron but the test didn't show it, which happens,  as well). My blood tests are really bad  as of...

Obey

I'm still under huge impression of "The Devil Judge" who's coming to Ntflix in the end of december BTW.

And I'm MUCH better. 

Still getting lots of drugs, but I can paint! Will try to not rush myself to make it up to you and commissioners, but slowly and carefully getting back to work!

Obey - WIP + health update

Hello me dears! Thank you  very much for your patience. support and understanding.  I am starting to feel better. The drugs, the resting and trying to keep positive does it work. I still get tired soon and feel a bit shaky, but not at all as bad as at the start.

I'm slowly but surely getting back to drawing. Today was the first day when I sketches quite successfully for a hour and didn't feel that I can't draw a straight line or get too tired. 

I think my mind and b...

Some news

Hi friends!

There hasn't been much of my arts here lately, and the reason for that is not a fun one. I had an attack of my chronic disease in November, and I'm still recovering. I rarely talk about living with multiple sclerosis. Most of my social media followers don't even know I have it. I used to hide it, as if the neurological problems were something to be ashamed of. Like I would look weak in the eyes of others if I admitted to having a chronic illness. 

But does it have...

The Hunter

Not long ago, I've  watched a tv-show which was supposed to but "just a dorama to kill time" but ended up being an emotional and visual experience, SO STRONG and inspiring, that....well...I ended up with a completely new style. And  I feel like a catapulted in another Universe of painting.

The show is called "The Devil Judge" it's a perfect Neo Noir drama, which has incredible visuals and GAY VIBES. 

Horned God Geralt and Unseelie Faerie Jaskier

Hello everyone!

it's been a while! So sorry for the delay with this picture. I greatly underestimated it's complexity and  me energy level. I didn't want ot rush it because I wanted this idea to shine and to do it justice.  As they say, halloween is a state of mind and emotions, not a date.

So I hope you will forgive the delay!

Enjoy!

Horned God - WIP

Render is the most fun part....and infuriating at times ;-)

But it's cool to see how the idea starts to become more and more fleshed out and alive.

Horned God - WIP

So here are 3 stages   that help me plan the color and light scheme in a detailed and complex painting such as thig one.

1 step is basic color blocking and shapes in the  background. 

2. step is the lightning. I only work with shadow and light here, vlocking them very roughtly to see the light pattern of the image and if it works for my idea. 

3. Atmospheric light. It's very approximate at thsi stage. Just basic ideas of how the whole atmo...

Male Nude digital oil study

Just thought you might like to see some of my studying work. I am now trying to get better with oil techniques and abstract backgrounds.
