drawing the way to happiness

Hello, I’m Vlad,
an affordable and independent comics artist.My story
I value meaning not the less than the esthetics and quality. My main goal is to create art that conveys an idea—something that explains what matters, or helps someone notice the significance of something they may have overlooked. To make the reader feel something: happiness, grief, anger, make them see new colors in life through the prism of my art.I spent most of my childhood loving cartoons and video games. I enjoyed watching such masterpieces as "Tangled", "How to train your dragon", "The Croods", "Puss in boots" and many others. Also right about that time, I discovered anime and manga, and instantly fell in love with such masterpieces as "Your Name", "Weathering with You", "Shape of Voice", "Tokyo Ghoul", "Death note", "Chainsaw man", and many others. In my childhood, I loved to redraw various frames from anime that I found fascinating, filled whole 4 albums in such drawings. I was always drawn to small, well-crafted details and to how everything comes together to create a cinematic, pleasing image. So after all these masterpieces showed me my true purpose, I dropped out of college, and here comes my turn to create something similar.About my work
My work generally is done in anime style. Visible outlines, sharp shapes with humans having cute, cat-like face. I love manga, hence I make manga comics. Also I'm into furry art as well, you're welcome with your furry ideas. You can easily access all of my art on my socials - Twitter (X), and view my portfolio page on Notion (click here to open).About commissions
