Wow this is very very Russian.

I've been working on this for a while now, but certain circumstances got in the way. My pen broke at first, then my mom had to go to another city for a trip and took the pad I'm drawing on with her. And finally, after half a month, this is done.

I was inspired by summer nights in my hometown of Moscow. You may know that I drew a similar piece a year ago: www.deviantart.com/mariebite78… , but the whole composition, characters and style are very different, only my feelings remain unchanged. I love May very much. Here you can really smell the presence of summer in the air when long awaited warmth comes after winter. I don't know wether it's the same at your place, because no matter how far I travel, I think you have to live in a certain place in order to feel such minor things. But those minor things are what makes us love the said places, you know?

I drew two of my most beloved characters here - they are Mariya and Bert. Bert probably came to visit Mariya in Moscow, and now they are sitting on the roof of her house, watching the stars and just enjoying each other's company. Yes, these two can actually sit like that without aiming on each other's throats, though as my irl friend pointed out, the very next moment they'll probably end up killing each other or kissing. The tower in the back is actually Ostankino tower, one of Moscow's many landmarks.

I am uploading this today because, let's be real, I'll forget to upload it any other time.
