Took the composition from the cover of the band's album In Extremo "Quid Pro Quo".
love your art its so good, although i just have one question. So on the BLU team there is a different demoman, is this just an artist choise in order to differentiate the teams or simply because you thought it looked better? Wither way love the art!!
Well, emm, I don't know which is better. I simply used a concept art, because I liked it.

I actually never noticed that you draw the BLU team based on the concept art! That's honestly so cool and creative!!
Man, I think everyone noticed it as soon as the white Demoman showed up, hahaha. Thanks for your kind words! But I don't think it's such a creative idea. I believe, many people have already drawn like this.

hello
You often disappear in your Tumblr and there are so few of your drawings.... do you happen to have Tgc or Twitter or some other social network where you can be found?
That's because I disappear everywhere for a long time, ahah. I have a VK, but that's for russian clowns. There are really old drawings, since I've created it a long time ago. But now there is no unique content there. I don't like social media, so I check all my messages very rarely. I tried posting my work on Twitter, but I was extremely bored there, so I just abandoned it. Although it would make sence to try just duplicating my work there. But for now I don't want to write or discuss something there apart from arts. My Instagram was deleted when the sanctions began, and I had already forgotten about it. The only social media I use actively are Telegram and Discord. I just recently created a TG channel, but I run it in Russian.

Glad you're posting again! Are there any drawings or pieces that you're proud of (or like), since you mentioned that there were some that you disliked?
It's a very difficult question. I eventually stop liking all my drawings. Although I'm trying to overcome this noncence attitude, since I understand that it's not that terrible for me. But my inner critic fucks me hard in one place. Perhaps, my favourite works are Wolfenstein drawings. And some other old drawings that give me pleasant memories, but not pride. I still want to go back to drawing Wolfenstein setting. I've accumulated a lot of ideas, but I don't have time, because for now I'm focused on other ideas for drawings.

I love your art (especially the way you draw Scout’s mom) but why do you always draw white demo? Demoman’s the only black character in game and removing him feels intentional.
Um, I draw the blue team using characters from concepts, and the red team as in the game. So I don't understand what the claim is? Maybe you don't like redheads >^>"""?

hello i hope you are well! if it's ok to ask, how would you recommend working on art technique? i love your art and i think you have improved tremendously since you started posting. i was wondering what resources you use to work on your anatomy and shapes. thank you so much for drawing and i hope you know your art is lovely and you have been a huge inspiration!
I don't do anything special, I mostly take all the sources for inspiration from Pinterest and Artstation. I copy anatomy from some sketches in Artstation and from photos as well. I also used to I took a 3d model, put it right and copied it, ha ha.
In general, a little knowledge of Blender or Maya helps a lot in working with backgrounds perspective. You can also set the light as you need for references, he he. I think there are some other programs, but I have not studied them. I also gained some experience while working as an illustrator and a concept artist. I'm actually a 2d animator by education (not a very promising animator, I'm still ashamed of my graduate work), so I've been drawing almost all my life and got a lot of skills back in college. Thus I'm growing somehow, but I still don't think I'm doing it fast enough, taking into account how many opportunities I had initially. I wasted a lot of time because of severe depression. So I don't consider myself qualified to give any really good advice. But if my opinion is still important, then I advise you to just draw for your own pleasure for a start, ha ha. While I was working in gamedev, I watched various videos on YouTube, if I had any specific questions. Mostly when it was necessary to draw in a casual style. I can't recommend anyone specific, I don't remember where or when I took the information, unfortunately ((. And you need a lot of practice and sketches. Anatomy doesn't work out — make sketches. Don't know how to work with color — experiment on a simple art too, and then make one big art to understand how much progress you have made, and then work on the mistakes. I don't know what else to say, everything is quite trivial — practice and study. Well, it probably makes sense to study the basics of academic drawing, although I studied it, it didn't help)))))) and sometimes I take pictures of myself for references, which is also a good option.
Oh, and in order not to contradict one of the posts — I have rarely drawn for myself lately. And for the last year I have been working to the bone at a conveyor belt where I had to draw backgrounds, props, ugly characters and a bunch of nonsense very quickly in the most disgusting style for me, where you completely degrade. So here's another tip — think a hundred times if you want to work as an artist, so that you don't hate it later.
