Anastas

Hello there! My name is Nastya and I am complete disaster and 2d artist\illustrator

[anastoza]

I’ve been crazy busy with work lately, but I finally finished this little comic inspired by the amazing fic Kaleidoscope, which found a warm place in my little heart. (And it has a fully finished sequel now!! Go, read it and send author all the love!)

I haven’t spent this much time on a personal project in a while — it’s been a really nice change of pace Hoping for more me-time soon, but for now, I’ll just chill for a while

hi! i just wanted to say that i have had an artblock for a few days now but after seeing your art i felt so inspired that it made me want to draw. so thank you so much for sharing your art here <3 i absolutely adore your style!

Hi!! Thank you so much for your kind words!! I totally know how tough artblock can be, and I’m really happy my art could help you a little with that ToT Don’t forget to rest, sometimes it really helps just to step away and come back to the piece in a day or two with fresh eyes. There are days when I hate everything I draw, and then a week later I look at it again and suddenly see how to fix it… or even start to like it. Wishing you a gentle return to drawing, at your own pace and in your own joy <3 And thank you again, your words really warmed my heart!

The new Bitte Ruin album dropped yesterday, and the imagery this song sends into my brain is just 👌👌👌

Thinking about what it might inspire me to draw — I’ll probably have it on repeat for a week straight

Still need to finish a few things before starting something new anyway (little stucky comics from previous post is almoooost done )

[anastoza]

your style is so unique, I love it so much

Thank you so much!! That really warms my heart I do get a bit anxious about my style sometimes, I tend to see it as kind of inconsistent sometimes? I work with a lot of different styles at my job, so it often leans closer to whatever I was working on at the time. But it keeps evolving, and I like that I get to borrow and add little things I’ve been practicing along the way

i LOVE Gale and your Tav so much ! :,)

Aww, thank you!!

I created her back in the early access days, and after many playthroughs, she’s still my favorite.

I was so happy when the narrative path and character growth between her and Gale became possible in the game — almost exactly how I imagined it! (Mostly on Gale’s side, of course — since Tav can be whatever you want them to be.)

[anastoza]

Anyways, no one expects this one… It’s a blast-from-the-past sketchdump

Apparently, I really like to hurt myself by reading the saddest fanfiction imaginable. Just stumbled upon incredibly touching Stucky fic about their youth — it was so beautiful, and it’s been living rent-free in my head for months. I guess the only way to process it is by drawing.

[anastoza]

This winter I was just kinda throwing ideas at paper to see what sticks Might come back to this one someday, but desided to post it as it is, looks funny in places and shows the thinking process i guess

I was thinking how Gale might’ve come up with the idea to gift a sky full of stars. (My Tav hates the Underdark. Absolutely not thrilled about the gang heading down there.)

Honestly, I scribbled this so long ago I barely remember what the conversation was supposed to be about. But it definitely looks like there's a book club situation going on between them (and probably meant to start with "You don't seem to enjoy deer stew this evening")

Small sketch of just enjoying a peacefull moment

[anastoza]

quick sketches of Astarion i drew for my buddy @barghest-land (IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEIR ART YOU DEFFINETLY SHOULD GO AND LOOK RN)

[anastoza]

Don't distract Gale pls, he's yearning

[anastoza]

Silly little sketches of my Tav and Gale again. I just find joy drawing those two in love

[anastoza]

It seems like I can find mental strength to post something only once a year :'D I didn't have much time to draw for myself this year with job and all But here I am with little something again

[anastoza]

Didn’t have much time or mental strength lately to draw for myself or post anything but I’m still alive and kicking ahah, slowly coming back to life

Time to dig up sketches from few months ago

[anastoza]

You know I have been drawing exlusivly cartoon-ish frogs for 2 month I start doubting i can draw anything else now :"D I'm so hoping for rest, it's been a long progect and it's coming to an end. My plans is to lay down, play some games and look into my celing till i feel alive and capable of drawing for myself again haha

[anastoza]

I was so tired of drawing frogs for my job so i shetched my Tav today Oooh I'm getting closer to how i see her

[anastoza]

Idk i guess i bit off more than i can chew I made this draft, tried some colors and than got crushed by ammounts of work, but i guess i can show you the process C': I hope I find time and strenght to finish it (or not, i really don't have much time to draw for myself again, and i have an urge to redraw all of it too, we'll see i guess) anyways, here is my little silly smthn! I tried :'D

happy valentine day to you all <3

[anastoza]

I'm in progress of making something really silly and all that can stop me is my inability to finish things MAYBE THIS PICTURE WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT IT WILL BE
