An explaination of the Wila. How they are similar to the fairy of the Celtic tradition

Explaining how the Wila are mostly tricky beings but could also be good

Week 1 of my Slavic Mythology Series - this week we explore the Wila. Next week we’ll look at the Volkodlak… 🐺 #mythology #folklore #slavic #education

Love this!

Say no to AI art!

AI has its place for sure but it’s not in creating art when it takes away work from illustrators and artists.

Aww he has to have the sun roof open to fit in ❤️

Omg I love this!

An oil painting of author Mary Shelley. She sits on a brown sofa with black background. Her hair is pulled back and she is wearing an off the shoulder gown.

Random creepy writer fact:
Mary Shelley kept a portion of her husband's heart wrapped in one of his poems in her desk drawer.
For the author of Frankenstein, keeping body parts in her desk is very on brand.

Love this titbit 🫀

Can I ask you another question - you are clearly way more experienced at this then I am - what do you use to draw your comics? Are they pen & paper or digital? Do you use an IPad?

Thank you ❤️

I will! The artwork is amazing! How do you publish on global comics, is it a separate platform like Webtoon?

Sounds absolutely lovely! I’m going to give it a read tonight - and check out global comics! Thank you!

Ooo I’m 100% going to check this out! It’s about a group of Italian nuns who take over a convent in the Russian Taiga, there’s werewolves, Baba Yaga, forest spirits, Rusalka - I was going to publish on Webtoon but is Global Comics better?

This is beautiful illustration

😂😂

Video flick through of that comic I wrote when I was 16! If I wrote a letter to my 16yo self I would say: don’t stop drawing because one day there will be a platform where you can share your art for free! You probably won’t make any money but at least it would be out there! #artist #comicbook

Omg! So jealous! I’d love to see her, she’s the best!

It’s still awesome! 🙌🏼

This is the front cover for a comic I’ve since come to abandon in favour of a story steeped in Slavic mythology (and nuns!) I recently read somewhere that unfinished projects are never a waste, simply a stepping stone to a more developed idea. #webcomic #mythologylover #artistlife #unfinished

Yay! It’s great to see you here - local artist here 🖤

Some more pages from my found teenage comic book attempt. You can really see how influenced I was by Manga. #manga #comic #indiecomic #independentartist
