I did not make that word up. I feel compelled to point that out because I do make words up. Sometimes. Not that one. This here thing is really called a vihuela (pronounced bi’wela if you’re Spanish) and is basically a 15th century precursor of the guitar. Or a close…
Page 34 is up! The editor is clearly aware that working overtime is bad for your health.
When a part of your brain wants to focus on finishing the location for the next scene and the other part of your brain goes “but we just learned compositing, gotta composite something!” So my (as yet unnamed) planet now has it’s own Blue Marble Image. Or at least a…
It was Sunday, it was St.Patrick’s Day, and I was tired of evening interiors and twilight mountains. I also came across Monet’s “Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies”. And, well… It’s not exactly the same bridge, or the same pond, and definitely not the same trees, but I think…
This is a scene for the webcomic that isn’t happening anymore due to plot alterations. I originally created this scene a while ago (way before I knew what I was doing) in Blender Internal renderer. Now I’ve converted it into Cycles for the sake of adding it to my portfolio….

This week I took a break from the ship and instead worked on the cast. This is Lieutenant Yarosvet Breslav (Yarik to his friends), one of the main characters on the Bereg side of the plot. Bereg is one of my two almost-warring countries. The other one is Halcia, which…
I’ve been building a flying ship over the past couple of weeks. Yes, all right, I wasn’t actually building it, I was modelling it in 3D, but the early stages of the process are surprisingly similar: tons of research and figuring out how stuff works. The ship was originally inspired…
