About

TLDR: Just a Baguette, trying to not lose crumbs in the ongoing mill of events xD

Jokes aside, this one is a traditional/digital 2D illustrator and character designer, 10 years (and counting) in freelance as my full-time job and passionate about it! ^^ 
Fantasy, sci-fi, macabre, horror, mystical and overall dark themes are my jam, fanart is the love of my life! 
I spend all of my current time and resources on commercial art and projects, hoping to ONE DAY be able to focus on my own settings.
Needless to say, the specific future where I can just go dive into my own creative endeavors is a mythical creature.
So…This Boosty is a hope and a mean to redirect more and more of my time and resources to my own headworlds and stories!
What headworlds are we talking about?
  • First and foremost, it is Raekterrna, a semi-futuristic, fantasy/ sci-fi world.
Raekterrna in general is a dualistic world with two layers of reality co-existing and interacting with each other: Maol realm and material world (Loam).  An aether star, Numen, is shining over it and aether permeates the world's whole existence and all the living beings, residing on Raekterrna.  Aether is a world energy, while Maol realm is a sub-dimension of the world, a space that exists within the laws of physics and has its own layered structure.
Thanks to aether, many phenomena, that would be considered fiction or scientifically not proven on Earth, are a part of common everyday life on Raekterrna.
 Maol is also a home for entities, commonly referred to as maol dwellers or maobytes. The most notable and familiar ones are Animas, a class of symbiotic aether creatures.
It's common for them to form connections with human hosts and give them specific abilities in exchange for first hand experiences and information of the tangible world, as well as an opportunity to further explore the intricacies of anima-human relations and many other things. Animas are also using this information later to shape the image of Maol realm.
Not unlike us, each individual anima has their own personality and experience, but at the same time they are like scientists, reformers and informers of Maol. 
For people of Raekterrna, existence of Maol & its inhabitats, as well as basic laws of aether, is a common knowledge that was long ago implicated into their culture, religion and overall mindset. 
  • Aside from Raekterrna, there is also a young-ish fantasy world Mekiyah, home of Lungaroux, mekiyan harpies, dragon people and the curse of Saroh
  • Fukuide, asian-vibed collab "sandbox" with Lingrimm
  • …and then, of course, there are my personal characters and/or headcanons from various existing 'verses! Among them is Lingrimm's Shang-La, Vilous by Mick39Kiki-UMA and Hoyoverse's Genshin Impact (ehe) :D
Now, how this Boosty works. I won't be keeping any of the setting materials behind the tiers: each and every SFW piece & fixed concept will be released in early access and become public eventually. So if you strictly want to follow my worldbuilding process & personal art, you'll be able to do so for free.
What the tiers offer is:
1. NSFW art and monthly archives in general, which means you'll have everything accessible in one place, without needing to check several other accounts.
2. Direct involvement in personal project development.
3. Discount benefits.
4. Occasional free art rewards.
That's about it folks! Welcome to my quest to creative freedom <3

RU: На 20-м году жизни персонажа я наконец сообразила, что нужно сделать, йепии! 
Сетовой аниме предстоит частичный ревамп, чтобы облик лучше отражал природу ее мутации. Что забавно, это в какой-то степени приблизит Сета к саааамым первым его концептам, которые я рисовала в 2006-2007 (пикт 2 и 3) :D 

EN: On the 20-th year of the character's existence I figured out what must be done, yay!
Set's anima form is in for a partial revamp to better match the nature of its mutation. Funny enough, it'll bring him closer to the very first concepts of him I did in 2006-2007 (images 2 and 3) :D
