SFeraKon 2026

And again I spent my birthday weekend at SFeraKon, a popular Croatian sci-fi and fantasy convention! Please visit @sferakon to see what it's all about. 😍

Just like last year, I brought my tablet with me and used some free time to draw my avatar again in front of the traditional SFeraKon banner. First I had to find a pose (I kind of recycled parts of another pose from a few months ago) and then take a photo of the banner from a specific angle. And of course, I had to wait for the right moment when it wasn't too crowded. 😄

I drew my first SFerakon related illustration in 2018, and then again in 2022 and 2023, and then last year I decided to make it a tradition, a personal art challenge. I guess the theme is exploring unusual perspectives and blending the finished digital drawing with real photos. Hope you like it!

BTW, this was my Marvel inspired outfit for Friday. Nothing special, a T-shirt with Marvel logo and a hat with Avengers logo. But I also wore badges with my drawings on them and QR codes for my galleries, trying to promote my art, which wasn't very successful, if at all! 😭 But one of the volunteers made my day by asking me what I was drawing and when I said it was just a hobby, the unexpected reply was "Well, I wouldn't say it's just a hobby!" 😊 On Saturday I wore something about Star Wars (mostly the Mandalorian and Grogu stuff) and Sunday was a mix of everything. Until next year! 👋

Anime TBT 2026

Yes, it's time for Throwback Thursday again and I decided to make a collage of all my anime related drawings. But... Surprisingly enough, there weren't as many digital drawings as I was hoping, because in the beginning I did many pencil, lineart or polymer clay stuff etc., which I obviously couldn't put in this digital mashup. 😐

Anyway, these characters you see here are from only a few anime shows I've been watching, and some very important ones are still missing. I need to change it ASAP.

If you're an anime fan, how many characters can you recognize?

Forever Young

This "Throwback Thursday" is for my digital drawing from 2017, just perfect for my upcoming birthday. I called it Peter Pan Syndrome/Generation and wrote about staying a kid in heart. I'm not sure if I used the term correctly back then, but it's more like being unapologetically myself, at least when it comes to my hobbies and habits, especially because of new technologies and opportunities I didn't have when I was younger.

I didn't just repost my old drawing, I changed it a bit. The lines were crunchy and pixelated, which was the style I preferred at the time, the proportions were off etc, so there was place for improvement. And I added a part of my art collage in the background to show that no matter what I'm supposed to do with the burden of all these decades on my shoulders, I'm not giving up drawing and supporting the geeky pop culture.

Fun (or disturbing?) fact: when someone asks me how old I am, sometimes I ask back: You mean "old" old or "in my head" old? 😄

Superhero Day 2026

Happy Superhero Day! Here's an updated collage of all my digital drawings of various Marvel characters since 2016. Yep, this year is special to me, because soon it will be my 10th anniversary of drawing digitally. 😲

Alien Day 2026

Happy Alien Day!

It's celebrated today because it represents LV-426, the name of the moon where the xenomorphs were first discovered. And yep, it's that weird writing of dates where month comes first, but no matter how confusing it seems, it gave us some interesting dates to celebrate (such as Pi Day on March 14 because it's 3,14 etc), so I guess there's some practical use for it after all. 🤷‍♂️

The drawing isn't completely new. I mean, it kind of is, but the xeno and the egg with a facehugger are actually from my last Halloween collage. I just never posted them as a seperate drawing, so this seemed like a perfect opportunity.

What is your favourite Alien movie?

Scarlet Witch & Dr Strange

This week's Throwback Thursday is reserved for two drawings put together: Dr Strange from 2016 and Scarlet Witch from 2019, accompanied by a magic spell ring from 2022!

I had to adjust them a little bit, as Stephen was drawn in Paint Shop Pro, Wanda in Photoshop and the magic ring by hand, using spirograph, then scanned and finished in Clip Studio Paint.

It was an interesting project, as my drawing style and habits have changed over the years. But these TBTs help me revisit older drawings, tweak them if necessary and reintroduce them to new followers. It's been 10 years since I started this digital journey and there are way too many drawings that have most likely been forgotten along the way.
