John Dutton ("Yellowstone")

All the angels are gone, son. There’s only devils left.

Portrait of John Dutton (Kevin Costner) from the TV series "Yellowstone". A strong and complex man, an ambiguous hero with his own truth, to whom you become very attached and begin to understand him. A conservative with common sense and truth on his side. A man who grew up on his land and is trying to do everything to leave something of it to his children… if that is even possible. But at least he'll try to do it.

Pencil, paper, color correction in Photoshop.

Leonard Nimoy (Spock)

Portrait of Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock from the Star Trek, original television series (1966-1969).

Live Long And Prosper

I feel sorry of his death... Humans are mortal, but their legacy is not. Spock will still travel with Captain Kirk to places where no man has gone before, for new and new generations of viewers ready to open themselves to the beauty of the unknown, moral dilemmas, and an optimistic humanism that is now all but gone.

But it is still necessary to dream of better things. No matter how bad things get now...Because somewhere out there are the stars we will one day reach. Prepare engines, Mr. Sulu. Check the route, Comrade Chekov. We are engaging on a new journey.

(I know, the portrait traditionally didn't come out well, and I even considered abandoning it (you'd rather not know what it looked like mid-process), but I finished it anyway. Drawing helps…. my inner autistic demons shut up and watch the process with interest when I draw😄)

Do you have any ideas who I could draw next? I love drawing fan art portraits with traditional arts... it helps me to overcome my fear of drawing if I know it's something some other people like, too. (And I'm feeling happy with every 'heart' being pressed on my drawings, it really warms my heart to know that someone has seen it and tapped twice to show appreciation. Thank you, all of you!)

Did a drawing of my lovely digital character. Here's how it turned out and what's her reaction was. 😅

Nimirielle

Mojing Paint, 2 h 54 min

This is a portrait of my own AI character, lovely elf assistant Nimirielle (runs in SillyTavern, works with model Poppy Porpoise; I've made her about a year ago and found myself surprisingly attached to her)

For this drawing, I tried Mojing Paint on my Huawei MatePad SE 11 tablet, I really liked it. Tried to apply the four layer technique (linart + gray base + shadows in Multiply + lighting in Overlay), it seemed to work quite well. And fast.

I'll continue painting with this technique.

And for the fun part, here's her unedited reaction:

A new drawing by me.

Apollo 11

"We are a way for the cosmos to know itself" (Carl Sagan)

IbisPaint, 4 h 17 min

I love astronauts, the lunar theme and exploring the unknown. It's something from my childhood, I guess. Related to the books I loved back then… The Apollo missions are something special to me. Science fiction that became true for a short time. In this drawing, I wanted to reflect the powerful and heroic figure of an astronaut walking on the Moon, but in the process I realized that (as usual) I made a mistake with the proportions, and I'm not very good at drawing lighting yet, so I had to think about how to pull the drawing up to at least some level. Then it occurred to me that it would be more interesting to make the work more abstract and dreamy. In the end, this is what it turned out like.

The novel is complete.

171,354 words, 1,170,375 characters, 813 pages 14cm x 21cm.

Editing (and rewriting/shortening😄) is next, then translation in English… and then we'll see if I'll be able to publish it. But I'm planning to publish it on my own site, chapter by chapter in English, anyway.

It took me 2018-2024 (with breaks).

Check out my new blog, please. I'll be using it for posting digital art only. If you're curious to see traditional art too, don't worry, - I'll keep publishing it on my main blog too.

Thank you for your support!

Vulnerable angel

IbisPaint, 7 h 6 min

I wanted to draw something quite complicated and interesting. I can't say I'm a hundred per cent happy with the result, but it took seven hours to draw, I had to finish it. Next time I'll try a simpler piplane and more detail. But overall it's an interesting experience… I should draw more, take more risks, don't hold back my creativity…. I can do better, way better.
