A Pre-sunset Tale by Artem Chebokha

https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=ukWaTUH_TqM

HUION was kind enough to give me this display to test. I've tried similar displays before, but I've never had my own and never worked with one. This is my first experience.
I'll be honest, it's a little unfamiliar, after 15 years of drawing on regular graphics tablets without a screen. But you get used to it very quickly. And only two things were disadvantages.
The first is the lack of possibility to rotate the stylus (only Pen Tilt, but not Rotation). Photoshop and Rebelle have long offered such a setting as "stylus barrel rotation", but tablet manufacturers stubbornly ignore this option...

O’er the waves a ship is winging
Past the Island of Buyan
To the realm of Tsar Saltan"

Girl and Pegasus. Remake by Artem Chebokha

I have decided to repaint one of my old artwork and as usual today, the remake should be quite different from the original. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bratnie Dusze/Kindred Spirits by Sebastian Szmyd

We are not that different, after all.

Some more Zorza worldbuilding and exploration, plus practicing painting simplified faces for crowds.
Unfortunately, no AI was harmed in the making of this picture.

"Far Lands" - personal project by Artem Chebokha

For several years I wanted to come up with a coherent series for myself, in which I could implement some of my ideas, combining the concept art of locations (and characters maybe) and illustrations, experimenting with media and getting new experiences. And at the same time also tell some story. I wanted to create a world that I could explore, travel in and learn something new for myself.
These are the first works from such a series, which I called "Far lands", I hope not the last, lol.
In short, this is a story about explorers, scientists and enthusiasts, pioneers of unknown...

Bonfire (A thought about AI on Artstation ) by Artem Chebokha

For the past few days, a hurricane has been raging in our sphere. I think I'll speak out too, in case anyone is interested in my opinion.

I know that my artworks has also been used in the training of the most popular AI's models, and I saw how people put my nickname in a thier prompts. Ok. I am not a begginer into the Internet and I know that everything here can be stolen by someone. I uploaded my pictures to the Internet and of course they can be downloaded and used by any unscrupulous users, ignoring the copyright. I...

Process gif. Despite the fact that I'm always trying to have a specific design and then executing it, I barely ever do it this way. I usually end up making things up as I go...

Однажды китайский ученый Ли Хунь Янь обнаружил некоторую незначительную, однако, существенно отличающуюся от фона корреляцию между количеством псилоцибина потребляемого корфуцианскими медузами и характером передвижения оных по стенкам четырехсотлитровго шарообразного аквариума, установленного в лаборатории по случаю празднования сто второго полугодичного затмения от начала новой эры Сингулярного Прорыва. Недолго думая, Ли Хунь Янь приделал к щупальцам медуз источники излучения в видимом диапазоне но с разной длинной волны, заснял весь процесс шестью камерами с 48 часовой выдержкой, симметрично расставив последние вокруг сосуда, где резвились подопытные и через неделю собрал прелюбопытнейший материал, который, в свою очередь, лег в основу фундаментального труда, ныне известного, как теория полутретичных n-многообразий простой метрики Ли Хунь Янь, с которой (с некоторыми упрощениями и оговорками) я, по мере сил, постараюсь познакомить любопытного и пытливого читателя.
