"The Cipher of the Mind" Original Artwork
made up of the same from the cores we ethereal
space royalty imperial born from a nebula
never a question man you can't explain that
cuz the tides still move in these vinyl grooves
and the digital alternative go solid state
and innately we all remain, stately ambassadors,
to a cluster of nerves in our brains
Man, glad to be back in action! Graphite, symmetry... Total madness! I managed to execute every task that I had for this month, so here we go again. Today Finished this drawing, It was really fun, so happy that I finished the traditional drawing. I wanted to create something...
Something that will elevate me to the next level, 60% of the time I was just sitting on my chair, staring at the paper, thinking how to make this as cool and dark as possible, without involving the usual stuff like skulls and gore.
I was looking for inspiration... everywhere, scrolling through Artstation and Behance. But the best inspiration and thought-provoking stuff I found in the work of @reinhard-schmid and @thermoplastic. Check their stuff out, if you haven't. They are masters in their craft! And at the end, I ended up with this piece.
I was looking for a way to express my usual theme in a different way, the connection between a living being and a machine. But just with contrast in the shapes. I don't know if managed to pull this idea off, but tomorrow I will start working on it digitally, streaming on @dlive. I hope I will see you there mates! And when I'm done with the digital version I will try to make a short seemless animation
Tools used: 2H to 8B graphite pencils; erasers on an 80g A4 sheet of paper
Sola; Facebook; Artstation; Deviantart; Behance; Instagram and Twitch
11 days without smoking, increasing the intensity of the workouts. Now i have all the time in the world so there will be a lot of drawing and painting going on mates!
Looks like a lot of work! Great drawing and nice shading! :)
Thanks mate! The shading was really time consuming :D
it looks just amazing ! Cant wait to see the next one !
Thanks mate! Happy to see that you like it!
I will be streaming the whole process of digital painting, explaining what and why and stuff on @Dlive. I invite you to join :P
Really beautiful drawing!!!
Thank you a lot! It was quite an expirience drawing that :)
I imagine :-)))
11 days without smoking it's wonderful! I like your art, do not stop and continue to do it!
Thanks mate! I will keep that trajectory no matter what!
Another excellent work from you, Nikolay, you have a distinct art style that makes your art instantaneously recognizable <3.
Your dedication to render every detail is something to behold, I am actually amazed that you did that on real media. Without the work in progress, I would have thought that you made your artworks with 3D because of your art's intricacy. Well done!

Thank you very much!
It just takes time, a lot of time to think of the coolest thing to draw. Actually, i tried to use 3d a couple of times but feel like I need to grow more to be able to use it's potential. :P
