Belochka Shostakovich

A resident of the virtual environment know as Second Life. In my real-life I'm interested in graphic design and use Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects as well as learning 3D techniques in Poser and Blender. My interest in comics, both conventionally-published and web, goes back some years. However, this particular project 'Gmok and Bel' is a hobby rather than professional concern, and was inspired by a desire to create two characters around my own virtual avatar and the large, fuzzy, digital creation called Gmok the Wise. Gmok the Wise was created by a talented artist in Second Life, Albert Beerbaum. The entirely fictitious character of Gmok, as depicted in these comics, is from my own imagination and is in no way the responsibility of the original creator.
