Fragment of Text

Book on Labyrinth

Book on Litres

 Fragment from book:

 "Small and blankly eyes of ugly creature, dimly gleamed under heavy superciliary arch. He took a quick indifferent look at dead fellow. Noisy exhalation of tank windly run accross the hall. He turned around and with heavy steps walked away along the corridor."

Fragment of Text

Book on Labyrinth

Book on Litres

   "Dio took a look back to wide ark of central entrance. The street he just left looked whitened and washed out comparing with cool twilight inside. Brick walls cuted out street noises. Silence pressed down on ears. Somewhere on third floor gallery piece of polyethylene was swayed by wind and rustled and that sound only accentuated overall silence." 

Fall

I went to country side on last week-end. Make some photos. It was grey day and some photos are interesting I think.

Mad Dog

I found my old drawing from my childhood.
Turn it into the vector.
:)

Stars in B/W

I had got info about master class by Denis Demkov demkovd.livejournal - "how to shoot stars" at the end of last week.

I have some experience about shooting stars but I guess that communication with other people with same interests is always good. 

It was night full of stars and time flew away very fast.

Here is 2 photos in B/W

Old Soviet poster by Vera Korableva

I found in the web old Soviet poster from 1930 by Vera Korableva. And I turned it in vector format.
It looks very close to original.
It's one of famous soviet posters.
Vera was born in 1881 in Moscow. She studied paintings in Russian and German and from 1928 worked on patriotic posters.

Vector work

 I like vector images and I like to work with Adobe Illustrator. It's my favorite software. My experience is growing step by step and I open new things for myself. This software is powerfull tool, especialy when you have idea and have skills to draw things by hand. My results are only begining,  And looks like the best things still are waiting for me.

Two hearts of Dio

My sister lady-nb
had written a good sc-fi book.
It's good not because author is my sister, it's really good.
And sometimes I make illustration for books. Looking at my photos I've decided to make good picture for her book. It very close fits the scene where hero is looking at our world through the window in building from his apocalyptic world.
The cool thing is that behind the window there is a real photo of Ekaterinburg, the city where story happens.

The foreground photo with window was made in Rostov city, behind the window I'd just added photo of Ekaterinburg and photo of stars from Ukraine.

 But later I had got idea to send my hero to little jorney in places where I'd been.
Pictures of Ekaterinburg - day time, Vyborg town, and Rostov district - country side near Veshenskay  - small town.

Stars and Milky way

At week-end I went to Limanchik, it's the name of place at the coast of balck sea, where students and teachers of Southern University often come for summer holidays.
 It's near Novorossiysk city. I made photos of stars there, sitting on the stone beach.
The milky way is very clearly have seen there.
But unfortunately strong wind didn't let to get very clear photos.
Strong winds are often there.

Some night photos

Some night photos from Crimea except last one. I've made it in May. You can buy this photos in large size, just contac directly with me. Sorry that I can't give away it freely.
