Start From Scratch

I'm Konstantin, and I make things! I love to build projects from the ground up, because that's how you make something truly your own. I'm a third-year college student, and lately my work has mostly included sculpture, costume and props crafting, electronics, illustration, and special FX makeup. I'll be using this blog to document everything I'm working on, and hopefully learn a few things along the way.

Just got gifted an iPad with an Apple Pencil from my awesome parents, and I’ve been using it nonstop. Decided to test it out by drawing Viri just as excited about the new toy. (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn)

“Ajala’s honorable for a bandit queen, aye, but she’s as insane as she is vicious in a scrap—and she’s mighty vicious. But it ain’t any of that that won her the loyalty of her crew. They follow her because she looked one of those metal beasts dead in the eyes, close enough she could smell the rust on ‘em, and she thought to herself, ‘I’m gonna kill you with my bare hands, and wear your bones as my prize.’ And I’ll be damned if she ain’t still wearing her first kill around her neck to this very day.” —A word of warning (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn)

“Hard to say if they’re always smiling because their mouths are stuck that way, or if they’re just too dumb to know better. Shame they make such a terrible roast though, you can hardly throw a stone out here without hitting one of the grinning little shits.” . . . . . . #ignitionpointcomic #grin #smile #dopey #comicart #comics #comic #conceptart #concept #animal #creature #creaturedesign #character #art #sketch #pencil #pencildrawing #tinysketchbook #sketchbook #illustration #drawing (at New York, New York)

“Anyone who’s got it in their head to call themselves a Vigilant hunter is fool, and likely has a death wish to boot. You might start off hunting them, but they’ve always got their eyes out looking for you.
