Personally I am a completely non-religious humanist, but I wish a hearty Happy Easter to those who celebrate it.
I know you think I'm a bit late, since for a lot of the world Easter was this past weekend, but I live in a country where Easter is celebrated based on the Julian rather than Gregorian Calendar, which means this year Easter comes on the 12th.
Oh, and while I'm at it, Happy Passover for those of Jewish faith.
But moving on to the primary reason for this post, I bet you are wondering why I haven't posted anything since October of last year.
Well, let me tell you it's been a gruelling six months. Nothing bad per se happened to me directly, but a lot of bad stuff happened to my loved ones, culminating in my mother being seriously injured in a car accident in February.
As a consequence, I spent the last few months in a support/ primary caregiver position, which meant all my free time evaporated.
However, I did manage to work a number of projects of which I am very pleased, including two books already published and a Comic book which is to leave the press in a couple of days.
First off, I know this might come as a surprise, but I've illustrated a children's book for a friend of mine, Mari Arsenie, named "The Adventures of Laslo the Dawrf".
Let me tell you, it was a surprise for me as well, since I'm more adept at drawing artillery pieces than dwarves, but there you have it. The artwork, by the way, can be found here:
Secondly, it is exactly artillery pieces I drew, since I illustrated a non-fiction book about the Focsani-Namoloasa-Galati Fortified Region (Also known as the Sereth Line).
This is the second book I illustrated for the Romanian Military museum, the first one being about Austro Hungarian artillery, waaay back in 2011.
Here are the actual drawings, all nine of them:
Finally, the one I am most proud of, I have been asked by the good folks over at Mythopoeia to make a few drawings to accompany the second issue of their dieselpunk comic book, Skies of Fire.
Edit, 21.04.15: The Kickstarter of the second issue is currently active! Help us bring this comic to print and earn rewards in the process. If the Kickstarter makes it to 12k you will also get postcards drawn by me of some of the ships in the comic.
Speaking of which, Here is a poster I drew which so hows some of the ship types from this world and will make an appearance in the codex of the second issue as well as make a nifty wall decoration:

I Aten't Dead
In the immortal words of Granny Weatherwax from Terry Pratchett's Discworld. This is probably no surprise for anyone, but it's been a rough year. I can say that I have it better than a lot of people since I had been working from home anyway and I still have my job, which is not true for a lot of people, but the year still took it's toll on me mentally, especially since I had been operating close to burnout since late 2018. In an unexpected twist, even though I've been playing catch-up with my work for over two years now, I've actually managed to get most of it done just before Christmas, so, hopefully and barring any new fresh disasters, you can expect some more art to grace this page in the coming year.
My work for Mythopoeia
Welp. Things didn't exactly go as I planned them at the start of this year, but I'm certainly not complaining...
In case you were wondering where I disappeared, fret not, I haven't abandoned drawing or DA - in fact I have been very busy working.
The main job was a massive urbanism project which took a few months to complete and which will never be posted on DA for obvious reasons, but I've also done a lot of drawings for different clients, chief amid which is Mythopoeia. Now, I've done work for them before, chiefly this poster (and other assorted bits and bobs) for the second and third issue of their dieselpunk comic book "Skies of Fire", b
Shadowless is BACK!
Finally, I've gone around and finished the new Page 1 of Shadowless, which had lain around unfinished for more than a year because far too many serious Real Life (TM) stuff have happened in the last year and half that kept me from comics.
So I start this new year utterly exhausted, but also fiercely determined to finally start drawing this comic which has been gnawing at the back of my brain for the last eighteen months aching to come out.
Also, page 5 is in the works. Originally, I was going to wait to post both of them at the same time, but then I thought "What's the point?" after all, it's not like I have a steady update schedule to make
More Plagiarism!
I was originally going to publish this on October 30, 2015, but, as I was working on the post, around 22:45, I was told about the tragic Colectiv Nightclub fire which had happened 15 minutes previously during a live show by the Bucharest band "Goodbye to Gravity" and claimed the lives of 60 people including a few people I knew.
As such I decided to postpone for one month out of respect for the victims. May they rest in peace.
You were probably thinking why I haven't posted anything in a while.
Is because I was to busy and didn't have time for drawing?
Well, not exactly.
Let me tell you a little story.

The first thing I thought was that you were a bit late, yeah. I didn't know about the difference in calendars.
But yeah, zombie Jesus is best Jesus!
