    Quite (un)funny how I've already cut out 2 entire chapters for a relatively interesting beginning and had to temporarily get rid of 2 characters for a better pacing. Just so you know, I had like, 5 chapters planned out. Now I only have 2 chapters worth of story and have to figure out how to move all the important stuff from the deleted scenes to next chapters (I do have a general plot, I'm talking about the chapters that were planned out fully).

    At first my intention was to write a story in a rather simple way — just describing whatever the heck is happening and that's it. And here I am, trying to make the beginning engaging, wondering what POV to use, trying to write less straightforward and more pleasing, changing the story just so it blends with the writing, thinking about logic way more than I did before, cutting out scenes that feel unnatural...

    I'm just writing a real book at this point instead of a little cringy fic. This takes far more time than I expected. I'll have such a hard time translating it into English...

    Anyway, once again, I really hope it turns out good... ish, at least. If I ever feel confident with the written chapters, I'll post 'em. Right now though, I fear that I'll have to rewrite a lot, so that basically means no publishing until everything's finished.

    No, I do not intend on making long wallposts everyday. I just had a lot of thoughts and stuff. Thanks to whoever cares to read all that.

    До скорого, ай гесс.

    Thank you.

    My writing experience:
    Can't start for hours —> finally starting —> inspiration kicks in —> finishing at 4 am —> cringing the very next day/feeling like it's not enough.

    I've changed my initial writing a lot, so now it at least feels like a book, I think. Sacrificed a lot of jokes and character interaction, though.

    I wish you lots of luck and inspiration, writing is difficult (every time when I write something, I get blocked by cringe or moral overthinking)

    !!YAPPING WARNING!! !!ОГРОМНЫЙ МУЖИК В БРОНЕЖИЛЕТЕ!!

    I'm done with music. For the rest of the month.

    Turns out music addiction exists. Turns out it's bad. Wow. Who would've thought.

    I listen to a lot of music, though. I listen to it for hours, all while spinning around my flat. I'm regularly trying to discover new songs. I memorize the lyrics. I decompose them. I translate them in my mind. I'm whispering them to myself the whole day.

    The good thing is, I'm not really suffering as of right now. I don't have much trouble falling asleep and I still enjoy music as always.

    But, yeah, I'm addicted. Having melodies and lyrics in your head at all times kinda sucks ass. Spending hours just listening to stuff also doesn't strike with me.

    So, just for the sake of it, I won't be listening to music for the rest of the month, as I said. Just to see what happens (if happens at all)



    Already having a hard time when hearing any melody playing. Instant reminder to mumble something.

    Another annoying thing is... my characters. You see, a lot of organisations and characters from my universe were based on songs (either that, or I might've found fitting songs for some later on).

    Pale Association? — When The Weak Go Marching In
    Deuce Association? — Traffic Jam
    Dante? — First Death
    Lyra? — Through Me To You, DOKUZU

    So, yeah. All the time I just have an urge to— to snap the sinew I want to get within you I want to scar the tissue butterfly and rectify you

    To end the post, here are my favorites that you must listen to:

    Mili — favorite Japanese band (favorite album: To Kill A Living Book)
    Дайте танк (!) — favorite Russian band
    Ferry — favorite vocaloid musician
    Ado — favorite singer (shares the place with Mili's vocalist)

    That's it. If you're reading this, you're probably insane (or genuinely interested in the topic ig)

    My next objective is murdering "TikTok attention span" syndrome in me. Not once have I watched a TikTok, but YouTube's making me procrastinate so damn much. Skill issue tbh.

    The good and the bad thing about my whole "chelyabacorpse" nickname is that if you Google it, you'll get pretty much EVERYTHING that involves me, (except the things where I use other names of course, like this account for example) because who the heck else would think of a name like this.


    Unrelated to all of the above: I've found a comfortable way to sign my drawings. I didn't do it before 'cause:
    1) Who tf would want to steal my shitty scribbles
    2) I didn't want to put damn watermarks over my art and just making a signature in the corner is useless.

    From now on I think I'll have a signature, but with a little twist, in case someone tries to cover it. Or maybe I won't, I don't care that much, I'm getting, what, 1-2 likes on Tumblr? Yeah, no way someone steals from a nameless person. This will be of more use if I ever make a VK account or smth.

    Made a new cover for my book (I don't like the previous cover anymore).




    Went for a specific style that's quite new to me (inspired by Ferry's works). The overall idea's nice, but could be executed better in composition and stuff. Still like it.

    The book's still being written. I'm figuring more things about the world, the plot, and I've actually written a chapter that's readable. I'll post it on an underground website for people to give me some advice before writing more (I could translate it and post it here or somewhere more popular, but I feel like I just won't get any critique in that case).

    Sorry for barely checking out everyone's stuff. Just as my brain rot, or whatever it was, healed, I got sick! I already had an allergy last weekend! Just as I was ready to start writing, drawing etc. I'm once again sick, and once again, my days off are ruined. All I got to do in, like, 2 weeks, is some experimenting with my current lineart and a couple of additional thoughts on the plot and stuff.

    If I get better soon, maybe I'll still have some time, but I'm so damn disappointed about how the only holidays we have after the winter ones have turned into helldays for me.

    I promise to catch up and maybe even post something, but right now I'm dying of pain. Bye bye 🤫🧏

    My brain's broken, I think.

    I haven't been doing anything this week (it's almost Thursday, I didn't do a thing after Saturday). Literally. Just watching YouTube and even that I can barely do, 'cause my attention span has decreased to that of a TikTok addict for some reason. I had so much time and I didn't do a thing for my stuff, nor did I do anything studying-related. All I want to do is to sleep and that's it. A фucking curse or something.

    Guess I'll have to fill a "head replacement form".

    Been testing some new ibis brushes I yoinked from the net + designed another faction uniform.

    Turned out well, not exactly as I imagined them looking, but it's probably because of the overcoat. Not sure if I'll stick to this artstyle, probably not. I think it will do for designing purposes tho.

    This uniform is more reminiscent of the uniform of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the WWI. Especially the cap.

    Btw, I experimented a bit more with coloring and... this looks more interesting I guess?

    I think I won't be posting any more characters for now, I got the general feeling of Sophia's crew and that's practically all I needed. I really need to focus on the general plot now and I *REALLY NEED* to start making notes — it's nigh impossible to visualize the plot chain right now. It's all messed up.

    Decided to experiment with coloring for a change. Sorry, the whole thing's in low resolution.

    I think I'm going to be less and less active online. 4 weeks turn into 1, and I just can't keep up. I'm also thinking about leaving this website altogether, but I probably won't for now (no explanations).

    I'm reading Wuthering Heights rn, and I can confidently say that the place demonstrating hell itself truly is... England. The memes were right dammit.

    I also haven't slept in 23 hours, so I'll probably pass out soon. It's just that the book is interesting and I also went to hang out with my old friends for the first time in half a year. I'll try to post something if I'll still have time this weekend.

    My father died today. Or maybe it was yesterday. I barely knew him, except for his addictions, so the only thing this means to me is that I'll be getting a benefit every month for the next three years.

    I've been down mentally for quite some time, my heart's been aching badly for the last three days, and the lack of sleep doesn't do me any good either.

    I've spent most of the free time I had to rest. I planned to post this much earlier. Here's a sketch of yet another character:

    Still designing Sophia's old buddies. I have some extra time this week, so I hope to make more progress (maybe even worldbuild a bit for fun, hopefully).

    This character has a story purpose and some connection to other characters. That's all I know about her (I usually give characters names after they're complete, so I can pick meaningful ones, call her whatever for now, ig). Despite literally being a sacrificial lamb for story purposes, I still need to work on her and, most importantly, the whole point of why she is in the story.




    At this point I just hope that: 1) the plot turns out well (it probably will); 2) I don't ruin everything with my shitty writing (I probably will >:p ).

    Wasn't working on anything for more than a week, because college sucks ass.


    Anyway, here's Andrei. My plot has a bunch of blurry stuff, so I'm kinda working on that by expanding on Sophia's past. I'll probably post some other characters soon.

    I've also been having the urge to work on my mc maps, but my laptop is still dead, so I need to cope somehow.






    That's the same guy from here btw.

    I don't think I can give you a short answer, so here's a brief bio:

    He and his younger brother were on the path of being musicians right from their childhood, however Andrei soon had to join the local army (as he thought it was the best option to provide them with means of living). His brother understood very well that Andrei does this for them to see a better tomorrow, and he wanted Andrei to understand that he cares about him too. Despite the older brother's protest, both Melnikovs were now carrying rifles. Not much time had passed before they were caught up in a meat grinder, that being a civil war. This event led to their farewell.

    Andrei then joined a group of "explorers", whose leader was searching for an artifact that could fulfill people's sincerest wishes. He was one of Sophia's (the woman I drew before) "friends". Well, Sophia didn't like him that much because of his ramblings and that one "prank", though. One day the group fell apart and no one heard anything about Melnikov ever since.

    Like I said, the plot is still blurry, so a lot of this might change in the end. Sorry if you wanted a shorter description.

    I just had a heart attack. Not really

    I was drawing and IbisPaint crashed. I couldn't open it anymore. I've already lost my files like this once. Thankfully, there's nothing a phone restart can't fix... I guess. I don't remember if I tried restarting the previous time, if not, well, oopsie.
