Hey everyone, haven't been updating for a long time. I'm not dead yet, I just didn't do much drawing lately. Here's an older CG, The comrade engineer's daughter.

It's an illustration for the last and probably final issue of the slovak sci-fi/fantasy magazine Istrozin, specifically the short story "Dcéra súdruha automechanika" (comrade engineer's daughter) by Marián Kubicsko.

The story is about a young girl's trip to a dark fantasy world inhabited with elf like humans. If you speak Slovak, give it a try!

You can download the magazine for free on the Istrozin homepage.
