every friday i get back home drained, as it is the busiest day of the week. and today it was not different from the other.

so drawing monolith boys is my today’s therapy. 😊

[pelaajanifta]

i get it, you're angry. that's why you're not hungry and couldn't care less about the troubles of others.

a bonus

Strelok is sitting in the Red Forest again, but this time alone, without his friends

this art is a thought of how would look the exact same place but ten years later from my previous drawing. down here is a short story behind the art

”And they who listened are no more; Ah! let me close my eyes and dream.”

The moon shone brightly, illuminating the Chernobyl NPP chimney rising beyond the horizon over the withered, twisted trees. In the distance, a pseudodog howled mournfully, and a cold wind blew into the stalker's face.

“You know, when I uncovered the secret of the Zone's center, I wanted to destroy it,” Strelok began quietly, knowing no one would hear him.

He took a sip from the bottle and grimaced at the strength of the drink. This was the hour of confession.

“Ghost, you once said that the Doctor always knows something we don’t… I found out why he helped us. It wasn’t out of kindness, nor for the sake of justice. He is one of the creators of the C-Consciousness — Doctor Kaymanov.”

Strelok paused, his lips curling into a contemptuous smirk.

“The real reason he helped us was to correct his own mistakes. Only…”

He tightened his grip on the bottle, moonlight glinting off its surface, and took another sip.

“Some mistakes can’t be undone.”

Silence.

For a fleeting moment, Strelok thought someone had touched his shoulder. A twig snapped faintly to his right.

“Yeah… I disabled the Brain Scorcher, stood before the Monolith once again, and behind the door I opened with your decoder, Fang, I managed to speak with the Representative from the Noosphere. There was a psi-control device for the Monolith! I shut it down, and it changed everything!”

The stalker made an awkward gesture with his hand and turned his head to the left, as if expecting a response from the person he was talking to. But as the realization crept in — that he was alone — it clenched at his heart, sent a hollow ache through his chest.

“Sometimes it feels like you’re still here. I wish you all could’ve seen it.”

Slowly, the stalker raised his head and looked at the moon.

“You were my friends,” — he whispered. Strelok lowered his head, allowing himself to close his eyes for just a moment.

“But I was wrong. It wasn’t the Zone that took you from me… The Zone never takes anyone. It was those who wanted to bend it to their will. But the Zone itself—never.”

The tree branches trembled. The moon’s cold light traced across Strelok’s backpack, catching the faint glimmer of an artifact resting inside.

The Heart of Chornobyl.

“The Zone gave me a new life. And I will not let anyone take it from me. Anyone…”

[pelaajanifta]

great news! with the monolith's help i finished my art! 🙏🏼

hereby i present you Ghost, Strelok and Fang!

and as a bonus i wrote a short text where Strelok is talking about her, the Zone

The sun shone brightly in the cloudless sky, painting the surroundings of the Red Forest in warm hues. Three stalkers silently gazed into the distance, admiring the pines and grass, while a pot of boiled potatoes cooled nearby. Beyond the horizon, loomed the chimney of the Chernobyl NPP.

"You know, Doctor mentioned that he’d help us get into the center of the Zone."

"Ah, Strelok, just don’t tell me you showed him the maps?"

"Yeah, Fang, I know we can trust him."

Fang squinted and let out a quiet snort. Ghost, who had been absentmindedly peeling a freshly boiled potato with his fingers, froze for a moment, then slowly turned his head toward Strelok. A flicker of interest passed through his eyes.

"And why the generosity?" His tone carried a hint of wariness. "The center of the Zone isn’t exactly Rostok, and Doctor... Well, he always knows something we don’t."

"Exactly," Strelok nodded. "That’s why we need to listen to his advice. And most importantly — he let slip that there’s something secret there."

Ghost stared thoughtfully at the potato in his hands, tapping it with his fingers.

"So, what exactly there is in the center of the Zone?"

"He won’t say. But I’m sure — it can change everything."

"Change what?"

"Everything," Strelok repeated. "And I want to see it."

A pause settled between them. Fang was the first to break the silence.

"But how are we going to get past the Brain Scorcher?"

Strelok cast him an amused glance and nudged him in the shoulder with his elbow. Fang tried to hide a smile, pretending to search for a better-looking potato. Strelok’s voice rang with excitement.

"We’ll manage! In the end, all stalkers are drawn to the center of the Zone, all of them, Fang..."

Strelok bit into the potato, unpeeled, with the skin still on, and it felt like the most delicious thing he had ever eaten.
