Thanks. It funny how every sketch as an almost identical comic version.

I've always been very inspired by movie for my content and we have a lot of American blockbusters that all take place in huge us cities. I also considered Moscow because of Lev's origins. At some point I realised I should write about what I know that way the setting could be more than passive background.

For Lev concept art I would have to go back between 2001 and 2004 when I drew the character again and again on shool notes margins. Lol. I'll dig through it. I can say he wasn't always black and white in my mind (maybe purple-ish) but I would always use a black fountain pen to draw him!

I'll have to do a specific blog post about that!
