Little sketch on little sketchbook.

Official cover I created for Marvel's Spider-Man some years ago ;)

Elon Musk claims that Ukraine allegedly violated Starlink's terms of use and used the system on combat drones.

As someone who was inside the process at the Ministry of Defense, I can say with certainty that this is not true.

In February of this year, whitelists were introduced. uld be registered by both military personnel and civilians.
But for any satellite terminal to work while on the move, it had to be added to a special list and connected to the military Starshield system. Otherwise, no satellite communication terminals in Ukraine would work.

In other words, using civilian Starlink for drone missions was technically impossible. All drone missions that required satellite communication could only be carried out using Starshield.

We are very grateful to the United States and SpaceX for access to critically important satellite communications. Ukraine did not violate the terms of use.

Coloring in progress for a personal project! 🎨

Still experimenting with colors, atmosphere and details, watching the illustration slowly come to life.

Warm Up

sketch!

My sketchbook is full of pin-ups, random ideas and characters waiting for their moment… ✏️

Some will probably stay right where they are, while others might eventually become finished illustrations.

Which ones? Who knows! That's part of the fun. 😉

My wife keeps telling me that I only draw women… 😏

Well, I'm determined to prove her wrong!

So here's a new character concept for a comic book story that's been taking shape...color phase.

See, darling? I CAN draw other things! 😂

Pencil studies ...

A concept sketch for a new female character… ✏️

Still exploring shapes, personality and visual direction. Nothing is set in stone yet — and that's the beauty of character design!

Let's see where this one takes me. 😉

Thank you, @SenBlumenthal and @SenThomTillis, for the opportunity to meet with you and your colleagues from both parties and both chambers of Congress. I informed them about Russia’s brutal “shahed” drone attack in the Kharkiv region, where Russia killed six people, including a ho was just over a year old. I showed the horrifying photos from the scene – a child killed in a stroller… This is how Russia responds to sanctions waivers and reduced pressure.

I also explained where things stand with intelligence sharing and Starlink operations in Ukraine. Unfortunately, we received no early warning from our partners about the first wave of the Russian ballistic missile attack last night. And we still face speed restrictions on Starlink and Starshield services in different parts of the front. No explanation for either of these issues has been provided to Ukraine by the American side.

Our teams will follow up on everything discussed today. I thank everybody who participated in this call for their strong support.

The trend this year continues – since the start of fall, our warriors have liberated more territory than the Russians have managed to capture. The same was true at other points this year. We continue to press the Russians at the front.

Dobropillia, Kostiantynivka, Orikhiv, Novopavlivka, Novoandriivka, and Velykomykhailivka are all under Ukrainian control. We are also defending the areas near Kramatorsk and destroying Russian forces 20 kilometers from Zaporizhzhia, not 5, as someone over there in Russia is snowing Putin.

Our front is strong, and I thank every warrior and every one of our units that is carrying out its tasks in full.

Red pencil warm-up!

Sometimes the best way to start the day is simply to draw.

Lately, I've been rediscovering the pleasure of line drawing… ✏️

Sometimes, less really is more. ;)

Yes, yes… it's her again! 😏

What can I say? Druuna keeps finding her way back onto my paper… and I’m certainly not complaining. 😉

Everything starts with a sketch on paper… 📷
What comes next? Well see. 📷

Overnight, the Russians used 39 ballistic missiles and more than 120 attack drones and loitering munitions against our energy and critical infrastructure in Kyiv, the Kyiv region, and Kharkiv. A targeted Russian ballistic missile strike specifically against energy infrastructure – the very infrastructure covered by the ceasefire announced by the American President. The strike was entirely deliberate and demonstrative in its scale – Russia has never before shown such ostentatious disrespect toward the United States. Russia does not consider the American President’s statements strong. Unfortunately, at least 600,000 people are now without power. Outages could become even more widespread. Unfortunately, there is significant damage to facilities and equipment – at 26 facilities of our power system and four facilities in the oil and gas sector. I am grateful to the repair crews, all Ukrainian energy workers, and the personnel of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine for all their efforts to address the aftermath of this Russian strike. Tragically, there have been fatalities and injuries.

We ask America and EVERYONE in the world who does not turn a blind eye to reality to respond – and to respond forcefully. Russia has squandered the opportunity for de-escalation and has clearly chosen to continue its insane war of annihilation. We ask President Trump to impose STRONG sanctions on Russia, especially since the Lindsey Graham bill, which was recently passed and signed into law, authorizes and regulates such measures. The American President has all the effective and necessary tools to bring peace closer through strength, justice, and pressure on the aggressor. We ask for additional packages of Patriot missile interceptors for Ukraine. It is entirely fair for us to tell the United States, Europe, and all our partners that no country in the world should be left alone to face such a deranged and pro-war actor as Russia. I am grateful to everyone who helps Ukraine! Peace can only come through strength, and we ask America to remember this principle of Reagan’s. Glory to Ukraine!

A little Orc Woman sketch, straight from pencil to paper! ✏️⚔️

Here's a quick time-lapse showing the drawing process, from the first lines to the final details.

Who says orcs can't be beautiful? 😉

I've had a dystopian project in mind for a while now… and I keep wondering if it will ever become a reality.

But I'm optimistic. Sometimes stories just need time to find their way. ;)

Meanwhile, here's one of its warrior women, currently in the coloring stage. 🎨⚔️
