'Ehhh... I mean, it is a stupid idea, but if you insist.'

Ivanichek 'Ivan' Vorobyev

Appears 27 years old

5"8

Intelligent, awkward, closed off.

Working out of a dilapidated clinic in the attic of a disused building just off Frying Pan Alley in Spitalfields, Ivan gets by feeding on the sick and infirm whom he is unable to treat.

At odds with his own kind for not fitting their into their stringent society and for being unable to accept the nature of his condition, Ivan strives daily to understand the parameters of what he is and how he might change that. His journey has brought him to studying other supernatural beings more closely... and has brought himself and Kostya into contact.

With innumerable walls up to keep others at a distance, Ivan has struggled to maintain human connections throughout his whole life; and this has certainly not eased throughout his afterlife. But he's never met someone like Kostya before, and finds his attention captured by the other man more and more.

Every night, you awaken in your studio and paint your masterpiece. 

Or, at least, you try to.

Oh, if only your muse would return.

If only lifting your brush didn't fill your fingertips with agony.

“It Paints Me”, a short Gothic horror visual novel I made for Scream Jam, is now available on Itch!

It's 3k words long and includes two endings, hand drawn artwork and original music.

(The scariest part of the game is the title, I know how paintful my puns are)

Happy Halloween!

She saw the thing hunched in the far corner, lapping up something that glistened beneath her lamp's light - fresh gore, discarded flesh, and viscera.🌕🐺🩸🦴

Based off a scene from my gothic werewolf novella-in-progress THE BONES WE HAUNT! It's meant to have a very, like... Bluebeard's Bride feel to it.🤭

Probably not. If only we had her in a gothic horror movie!

VERY old scraps from The Eye's Embrace. My art style has shifted a lot.

Excited to begin work on this project again with @sourmiiiilk, after he completes Online Obsession.

We just finished working together on My Sweet! Housemate, which you guys can check out on Itch and Steam.
