My new toon was made for "Cultpohod" contest. It took place in Divnogor'e - national park in Southern part of Russia. Theme of contest was "The Great Steppe". So I made concept of this cartoon and was victorious. Now I completed it and in 17'th of September it will be the rewarding of winners and presentation of their completed works.
I don't know how to place video from YouTube in message, so if you want, you may see it here.
Northern kind of this creature. His life is not easy because he always needs to cope with icy wind and frost. But therefore he got great force of Runes - magic that he can use as well as nature power.
May be somebody remember this wonderful cartoon series in the beginning of 90-th? It was also nice game on Genesis. This is the main character, Ren, brave adventurer, who seeking treasures in the seas of Dark Water.
I came back home for a week and made this art creating a character named Spirit of Wood. It's kind of a trickster who making some kind of bad jokes with people in forest.
Here are few ways I can imagine him. First one - classic satyr, like in old Disney "Fantasia". Second and third have kind of wild power, they looking not as friendly as first one, I think.
So it may happens that these two pictures are last for the summer - I suppose that I gonna travel much this time!
First - the Photoshop painting of the fantasy Ent-Druid. He casts some healing or growing spell, I think.
And this sketch I made few month ago. It is elven ambassador on the reception of the dwarf's King.
In December I shown my sketches with rabbit for 2011-calendar in newspaper. Now I will post illustrations I made for each month. Ideas for pictures came to Chief Editor and she just told me what she wants to see. In every month she chosen two out-of-the-way holidays and I tried to show them with this rabbit-character.

Here's a two great musicians who had concert in Voronezh yesterday. Nickolay Vintskevich and Leonid Vinthkevich are playing really great jazz! It's kind of family tradition for them.
I tried to draw this elf in the style of American Indians. That's why I added to him amulets and feathers and made lot of brown shades.
With the help of Shane Lewis I founded very interesting blog: artists are dueling in drawing pigs with banjo. And I thought it could be interesting for me to take part in it. I thought that it could be funny to use stereotypes. So, you can see fat American pig with banjo and hamburger, and alcohol-drinkin Russian pig in cap with ear flaps and with balalaika.
