Self portrait

Quick sketch made in Photoshop.
It is my usual winter morning - early awaking, coming to the forest near our town (it is still dark when I getting there) and skiing when it is nobody came here yet. But today it was unexpected frost and first minutes of my riding I thought that I'll lose my nose - so cold it was. But everything was OK, after ten minutes of hard skiing all parts of my body came worm. Except fingers, of course - they always used to be frozen. Now, when I writing it, I still feel tingling in it, in spite of it was 15 hours ago.

Newspaper illustrations

More illustrations

And some more illustrations for newspaper. I made it in Tuesday.

Street Magic - Bibika

And this is the projekt I made in Autumn - cartoon clip "Bibika". Children-group "Street Magic" recorded this song and their producer ordered this toon from me. I worked not only as artist but also as co-scriptwriter and co-director of it. And, yes, all drawings made by me.

Illustrations for newspaper

I still work in local newspaper "Chizhov Gallery" in Voronezh. And here are some illustrations made by me for last few month.

Yovia

This is my World of Warcraft character - Night Elf, Hunter, named Yovia. I stop playing WoW last spring but sometimes I miss the atmosphere of this game.
I've never used to be a good player and always played just for fun - not for different game achievements and etc. May be that's why I gone - it is not anymore place in this game for adventurers like me. All players are playing just for get above and above.
But anyway I got a lot of inspiration from this beautiful game.

attack

It is the first art I made in 2012 and also it is the first art made with Cintiq 21ux, I buught two weeks ago. So, it seems to me, it is differences in results with this interactive display.

Jeff Young

Last week it was jazz festival in Voronezh. We had many guests-musicians from another countries. Here is Jeffrey Young - wonderful blues singer and piano player from USA. I really proud of my acquaintance with him. So, he presented to me his album, and now I presenting to him painting made in Photoshop.

Three is a company

Here is illustration for the third chapter of "The Lord of the Rings". Frodo, Sam and Pippin have their first night out of home. Yes, those who never red the book doesn't know that at the beginning of their journey it was only three hobbits, and they met Merry only after few days at the border of the Shire.

Hamsters

Here are drawings I made for my good friends. They play Rock-n-Roll and their group called "Theater of Illusions". Last weekend they presented their first album and I made illustrations for it.

Idea was that in word "Homo Sapiens" part "Homo" means hamster (in Russian language hamster is "Homa"). And people who lead consumer lifestyle are like hamsters. So, I made for them these images.
