January was a strange month for me. I was diagnosed with depression and PTSD and started treatment. Since I started taking medication I haven't had any anxiety attacks and I don't have mood swings as severe as they were in the last two years. On the other hand, adjusting to the medication made me...
2024-02-04 06:29:31 +0000 UTC View PostThis month was better than the previous one. I finished one scene and am looking forward to having some progress in January. Hopefully when the new fiscal year has started it will be easier to get a job. So f...
2024-01-07 03:57:54 +0000 UTC View PostI'm sorry to say this, but I couldn't finish any work on the cartoon this month because of a hole in the budget left from buying a car. I needed to close it to avoid fines. I was able to do it with a few days to spare, but it wasn't enough to make any noteworthy progress on the cartoon. As I said...
2023-12-02 21:12:40 +0000 UTC View PostIn October I finished the application process for the apprenticeship. I didn't get in this time but at least now so the next half-a-year is a rather straightforward process with an entry-level job in the field. Hopefully, it'll leave me with more free time for the cartoon, compared to commission ...
2023-11-05 02:03:11 +0000 UTC View PostDuring the month I finished one scene. And sketched storyboards of a couple of versions for the ending but none of them "clicked". I have the idea but I still need to figure out how to make it exactl...
2023-10-10 18:51:41 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a busy month. I finished the math course and applied for an apprenticeship program. Now I have a few months of a lull while I get through the application process. I hope to use it to make some more progress on the cartoon but I also had to open commissions since a few months of study witho...
2023-09-01 21:36:52 +0000 UTC View PostFinished one scene (though it only has background) and was a few days short of finishing another scene but got sick (nothing serious, just a common cold but an angry one). Not the most productive month for me to be honest, but at least I'm still able to work on the cartoon. Thyroid medications wo...
2023-08-01 04:43:11 +0000 UTC View PostMy commission income dropped drastically and studio jobs here pay poverty wages so now I'm studying for a career change. Don't worry, it doesn't mean I'll have less time to work on the cartoon. Most likely it'll be the opposite since the commission work schedule was bizarre and way over the norma...
2023-07-01 23:12:37 +0000 UTC View PostThings are getting better and I have a general plan of what to do with my situation. There are still some unknowns and risks though. But at least for the next two years, I have some relative stability.
I'm halfway through another scene. Sorry, I wasn't able to finish it before the end of th...
2023-05-31 03:10:37 +0000 UTC View PostThis month I was able to finish two scenes. One of them was published. I'm still in process of transition even if I managed to finish most of the stuff I had to do when I just arrived. I'm working on improvin...
2023-05-05 00:17:28 +0000 UTC View PostSorry, settling into a new place is taking a lot of energy and mental resources and I also learned that I have to pay an estimated quarterly tax here. Figuring it out without any accountants who would've agreed to take a new client and didn't cost an arm and a leg took way too much effort.

Drew my character from the Infernum game. Kulkuri is a prideful ambitious hobo demon who started playing the hellish game - conquer or die. So far its conquests are... modest. But it's just a few weeks old, practically still a demonic larva. Everything is still in the future.
2023-03-10 02:27:22 +0000 UTC View PostI started working on a group of three similar scenes but wasn't able to finish it because I needed to prepare to move to another country. Now I'm in USA and honestly I have absolutely no idea how everything will go. Either way I will still be spending my spare time on the cartoon. Until the war i...
2023-03-03 01:17:02 +0000 UTC View PostJanuary was a bit better than December so I could finish two similar scenes. The one I published is the shortest of the two.

Huh. I was sure I had published this.
Well. December was a difficult month. To be honest, the whole year was difficult and I have no idea how will 2023 will go. My visa application was denied and I'm unable to return back home. We're no longer renting our old apartment and my friend h...
2023-01-13 22:45:53 +0000 UTC View PostStill struggling but at least I managed to find enough time to finish another scene. The future is uncertain. It's been over a month since I submitted my visa application and I still didn't get the reply. At ...
2022-12-01 17:51:16 +0000 UTC View PostFor entire month I was running across Italy back and forth trying to get all the papers needed for a visa and by the end of the month I applied for a visa! However because of that I didn't have enough spare time to work on the cartoon and I fell way behind in my work schedule. Sorry, but this mon...

A random metal-themed demon character idea that has been bugging me for a few weeks.
2022-10-17 09:40:11 +0000 UTC View PostWell. Okay, it took me almost a year to finish that scene. I started this scene in February and then the war and a whole lot of problems related to that fell and keep falling on me. But at least in September I finally managed to 2022-10-04 18:50:01 +0000 UTC View Post
This month even more problems piled up. My only way to withdraw money got suspended and I'm trying to fix it with the service's exceedingly slow support. Same with my wife's account. We've been trying to find a way to fix that + trying to get all documents for a visa + attempting to find alternat...
