I’ve suddenly remembered that I have a YouTube channel. I few years back I posted a few process videos, but nothing since then, except for a few shorts just now.

Could anyone share the insights: is there any sense to start posting there?

I’m very excited about my new WIP! I’m trying something different this time, so I decided to start with a sketch. It is the first one made with Monster Clay. The second one if the work itself in its early stages.

Yeah, I don’t have much time these days to record the whole process, but I can show some stages.

The Fear to Tread opening at Nanny Goat Gallery is this Friday! I’m so
excited and a bit anxious too! Wish them luck! 🍀🍀🍀

Olga Vyshnyvetska @mrspacelobster.bsky.social · 11d

It’s like I offended them or something…

Olga Vyshnyvetska @mrspacelobster.bsky.social · 11d

Thank you so much! I once wanted to make a diorama of Pilla’s but. I think you might’ve loved it there!)

Olga Vyshnyvetska @mrspacelobster.bsky.social · 11d

Another one of my oldest sculptures—Pilla the Swampwalker. I think this one might be my favorite one. I think it gave me the courage to go forward. I mean after that structure I was ready for anything. I still think I might revisit it someday, but not just now yet.

I learned a lot from that, and I cast him for who knows how many years and painted him in many colors. This year, something changed, and I feel like it is time for him to retire. We will see how it goes, of course, I might miss him sooner than I think, but for now, it feels like a goodbye.

Olga Vyshnyvetska @mrspacelobster.bsky.social · 12d

I wanted to show you the original Alie. I sculpted him in 2019 during my second year of sculpting, when I switched to polymer clay. Later, I remade it from scratch because I wanted to try my first mold.

BOOK COVER ARTISTS

QRP with your book covers 📚

#BookCovers

(Retired from illustration last year but here are some of my later covers)

Book cover for THE WAY OF KINGS by Brandon Sanderson. A cloaked and armored figure raises his sword in salute to a tiny figure in the distance separated by a chasm of broken earth shrouded by mist. A massive storm cell winds gray and blue across the sky intersecting the tip of the extended sword. A bright line of blue runs across the clouds as if etched by the unusual half-hilted, wavy blade. The orange cloak covering most of the figure (as viewed from behind) is decorated with a mass of wild crustacean arms ending in crescent claws. The icon on the pennant, flying tall on a pole held offhand, depicts a crab-like creature. The sky to the right of the storm is tinted warm yellow as the sun peeks out. A sliver of moon can be seen in a blue-sky break between the clouds.

Book cover for THE DARK TOWER by Stephen King. Bathed in twilight, Roland Deschain stands in a field of red roses that surround a tower of massive girth. With arms crossed, he holds up a big revolver. Fingers wrap the sandalwood grips with noticeable tension on the trigger. Loosely knotted cloth spills from his other wrist, exposing the back of his hand, but not the fingers on his right hand. The cloth is bloody where it wraps over pinky and ring finger as he clutches the stem of a rose.

Book cover for EMPIRE OF GRASS by Tad Williams. Grass and ivy have overgrown ancient ruins, but the delicate artistry of the Sithi can be see in the still standing pillars and arches bathed in the golden light of sunset. A solitary statue kneels among the ruins. She holds a bow one-handed with an arrow knocked. In the other, she lightly grips a long spear with the tip angled down.

Book cover for DRAGONWRITER: A TRIBUTE TO ANNE MCCAFFREY AND PERN. In the cargo hold of a spaceship, a dragon floats with female rider saddled high on its shoulders. Gripping reins, she cranes her neck back to glance at the viewer. Disorienting, the perspective into the cargo hold is slightly angled with the lines of interior structure not quite lining up with the wide octagonal bulkhead leading into it. There is no true horizon to orient on which prompts a sense of weightlessness and implies slow rotation. The hold itself is cropped with the right of it falling off-panel. Just past the dragon, a large porthole provides a view planet-side with sun partially obscured behind a bright arc. A red dot burns menacingly nearby.
