I don’t know what you’re celebrating, or if you’re celebrating anything at all, but I celebrate Christmas, so I wish you all the best.

Rest, have fun, do whatever you want (as long as it’s legal).

Long-awaited vacation starts now. See you after Jan 7. Updates are scheduled.

Every scammer starts their message the same way. I've literally received the same message six times in the last week, and it hasn't been the most active week. Christmass is coming. Go decorate the tree or something. I honestly don't give a fuck

Health update: I’m feeling good again, and my cat is doing well too.
I’m wrapping up my antibiotics, while she’s starting another bottle of CBD.

The bubble wrap in my lungs is gone, but I still don't feel great. On the other hand, how long can you lie under a blanket... So I dropped by to show off Percivald the Warrior Hamster, which I finished painting a while ago. What do you think?

Plot twist: it is pneumonia.
Still wheezing like bubble wrap, but updates are on track. New chapter’s up.

The house is finally spotless and all the little repairs are done. Now all that’s left is to survive pneumonia and I can fully enjoy the holiday vibes!
Okay, okay — kidding. No pneumonia yet, just some minor crackles on the stethoscope.

Kicking off my holiday cleaning. Don’t try to stop me. There’s no point anyway, because I haven’t actually started yet. Updates will still follow the schedule, but there’s a good chance I’ll forget about social media.

I still don’t get why some of you insist The Last Witch is just a romance disguised as horror, but if that’s what you really want to believe…

Meet my Halloween guardian — a scarecrow who’s seen too many battlefields and still finds the time to smile.

Happy Halloween, everyone!
May your lanterns burn bright.

Guys! The next chapters are already scheduled! Once the varnish dries, I'll drop by later to show off my new work. For now, here's the last miniature from Nighthaunt proxy: The Morarium from @FleshcraftSTU

Scored a temporary victory against the bureaucracy!
Celebrating with a quiet evening, and showing off my minis from Fleshcraft Studio: Souls of the Damned.

Last week I found out I had — in words — three things to take care of at city hall.
Knowing how things usually go there, I assumed it would take me three days, one per task.
Oh, what a hopeless optimist I was…

I won!
After a long battle, they finally sent me that one missing piece.
Too bad it doesn’t fit.

I don’t even want to hear the name Raging Heroes ever again.

Still haven’t received the file, so I’m launching a full-scale war and reporting it everywhere. Not sure I’ll win, but I’ll make them bleed.
Also: new chapters coming for you.

Still wrestling with Raging Heroes — sending one file seems to be too epic quest for them. Writing’s easier though, so more chapters for you.

It’s my birthday week, so I decided to relax a bit and make a Halloween diorama. I remembered I used to support
Raing Heroes on Patreon and had the perfect files for the job. Here’s how it’s going so far. Don’t waste your resin

A little behind-the-scenes story from The Last Witch!
When volume one came out, a whole debate started about what little Alice really looked like. I even tried sketching her (with… mixed results).
