HELLO!
So, as usual in the beginning of the new year I will briefly summarise what happened on the a-r-tistic blog in previous year. I'll try to bring up threads concerning changes on the blog, and also potential things I would like to do in 2025.
SO, LET'S BEGIN!
| Summary 2024, graphic. This graphic presents parts of works I've created in 2024. |
HELLO!
Welcome back mermaids! It's been so long.
The last one work with mermaids I've published here was blue mermaid. Amazingly enough, there's a similarity between blue mermaid and Mermaid's charm (that's how I called new mermaid art). The posture of mermaids is alike.
This is Mermaid's charm.

HELLO!
So, the whole idea for today's work appeared in my mind as an image of mysterious woman holding a flower. But which flower should I portray? That's a question. At first it was a bit difficult riddle but then I made a selection, and chose iris.
In quite unexpected conclusion an image of Iris, goddess from Greek mythology emerged.

I drew a design on A3 paper.
HELLO!
The 14th comic strip from series "the Four Seasons in Four Frames" (in short: 4 in 4) is ready!
In new work the main heroine is Winter. So, what's the plot?
PLOT:
Winter's chariot met with an accident so she's waiting for the random passer-by. However, this whole long waiting makes her impatient...
As always, you will find the translation of bubbles below the comic strip.
ENJOY!
FIRST FRAME:
Winter: I chose a bad place... There's no one around.
SECOND FRAME:
Winter: Come, doggies, let's go! We were waiting too long.
HELLO!
From time to time I find films concerning mythology pretty interesting (especially greek and japanese ones). One of them got my attention to Pandora and her mysterious box. So I started thinking about her, and I was wondering how would I portray Pandora?
So, that's how Pandora became my aim.
| Here is the 1st draft. |
I wanted to capture a curiosity not only on her face but also in her movements. She swings forward the box and reaches to it with her right arm.
Below there's a final drawing made by a brown crayon on a paper.
HELLO!
Today's the continuation of creating a dragon, and consequently - this is the last part of dealing with the dragon. If you want to remind yourself what happened in the 1st part, check it out HERE.
My next step was colouring a dragon's eyes.
| I coloured his eyes with crayons - yellow, green and blue. |
At first I wasn't sure which colours should I choose for this dragon. I was thinking about it pretty long.
Finally I decided that dragon will be gray, his thorns - brown, red, orange and yellow.
But I started from creating a background with soft pastels. I wanted to get an effect of the evening sky which is glowing because of the fire.
HELLO!
One day I thought that it would be splendid to draw a dragon which doesn't look sillily. This desire was inspired by manga One Piece, and a sculpture of chinese dragon I saw in one of the polish museums.
So, my aim became a dragon.

HELLO!
So, this is the 10th comic strip from the series "the Four Seasons in Four Frames". Now's the turn for Winter to be main character.
PLOT:
In a certain city snow is falling calmly.
Who could be responsible for all those snowflakes?
As always, you will find a translation of a bubble below the comic strip.
HELLO!
On certain rainy day I happened to be in Łazienki Park in Warsaw. In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful places in this city. There I noticed an interesting sculpture and took a photo.
You can look at the mentioned photograph below.
| Bacchante holding a cluster of grapes, photo taken in 2016. In my headcanon a pigeon which is sitting on Satyr's head wants to join to Bacchanalia... |
I decided to experiment a bit with this photograph because there was a lot of potential. So I created a few graphics.
Please, give them attention.
| Bacchanalia in broad daylight, no. 1, graphic. |
Hello!
🐟
I experimented a bit... Again.
A graphic you're able to see below was formed from an old doodle of mermaid (I can't explain why but I sometimes like to draw mermaids) which was carried on a blue background.
