--| About me

My nickname is "kvasmn" but my friends can call me "Vas".
I'm just a 19 years old guy from Ukraine who also happened to become a small digital artist during the war.

To take my mind off things I prefer sleeping, playing games, or drawing, so it's just some of the methods of escaping reality for me. Because in today's reality I can't even be sure if I'll see tomorrow. I live really close to the battlefield, and there's almost not a single quiet night for me. (if you wanna listen to how it sounds you can click "here")

And even while living from day to day not knowing when I'll die, I'm still trying to make people happier, even if it's just a one person.
I'm trying to be supportive, cheer people up with positive words, making art gifts when they don't expect it at all, and etc.
And it doesn't necessarily have to be my friends, I'm trying to make happier anyone I can, even if it's just a random person who I never talked to.

I just know how nice it feels when someone's saying something nice to you, or even making a drawing!!
Even though it happens really rarely to me, I just want at least someone to experience it, and at least someone to be happy :3

--| A bit more about me

I really love sharks -w-
I have a lot of stuff with sharks, like clothes, accessories, plushies, figurines, a lot of shark characters that I created, and etc!

I'm kinda introverted, so it's sometimes difficult for me to start a conversation, make new friends, talk a lot, or keep the conversation interesting, also I have no idea how to talk with a group of people, I just can't.

About my hobbies, I like drawing, photography, playing games, listening to music, learning how to play on ukulele, coding my website, just doing something creative, playing chess, configuring the audio (like with equalizers and tons of other plugins), customizing my system, working out, and many other small interests.

I'm a christian, and every single day I'm praying for our safety.

--| Drawing

I'm really slow with drawing, because of my perfectionism and procrastination, and also because I'm easily getting distracted TwT
It can take ages to finish something, because sometimes I just can't force myself to draw, and why do I have to force myself? Am I not enjoying the process? Well, not really, thanks to my perfectionism, when I'm spending an unimaginable amount of time trying to make something as good as possible and not really progressing with completion of the drawing itself. And it doesn't even really change much, like most people would just leave some stuff messy and move on, and nobody would notice, but in my case I just can't leave it like that.

--| Why do I draw?

I started drawing to leave something after myself, because at that time if I'd die there would be nothing left after me, like did I even existed? Have I done at least anything good in my life?
But now I continue drawing because I can make someone happier with my art, by making gifts and supportive drawings.
And also because I can express myself through my drawings, and connect with awesome people -w-.
