When I started to draw I have collided with different styles, which for me are  interesting and exciting-

1. Let's begin with telling a little about yourself.

I was born 1983  in Rostov-on-Don, Russia where I live to this day. I’m a freelance illustrator and concept designer. Today i work  more in creation of an illustrations for computer games.
 
2. How do you go about creating your pieces; what is your general creative formula?

I  use usual methods, I begin work on a paper, I consider a theme or idea which  i found. Further I try to find an interesting composition and color. I think, good drawing it is possible to see at a stage of a sketch on a paper.
After I have drawn a sketch I search  referenses which will help to make more exact palette of colors. Here it is possible to tell that my general formula it constantly to search for new approaches and constant experimenting.

3. Whom and/or what do you find inspiration from?

The inspiration is such abstract thing))
I think most of all my music inspires me,   films inspire me.
I like to observe on the clouds, this too  me inspires, in general the nature and the world surrounding us is the best stimulator of creativity.

4. On the subject of your artistic style, who influenced you to start and who influences you today?

I  began to reflect about  illustration  atfer I got some art-book on Boris Valejo and Frenk Frezetta.
When I started to draw I have collided with different styles, which for me are  interesting and exciting-
I think my art, has influences with such artists as: Soroyama Hajime, Scott Robertson, Syd Mead, Dusso, Stephan Martiniere and still more names which it is simply hard to keep in my head.

5. Besides creating this beautifal art, have you any other Interests/hobbies ?

Besides my art there is not a lot of interests, ceramics, photo etc.
Except digital painting beside is traditional искуство which is interestingly and demands a lot of time for studying, even for a hobby
Also some times I was engaged in ceramics that to me is Interesting, but unfortunately there is a lack of time.
