Description Hi, everybody I haven't posted anything for a looong time, well it has been kind of hard time for me. Good thing is everything is getting better now. So here is my new work for trilogy about Bogatyrs (by slovak writer Juraj Cervenak). You can see the previous two covers in my gallery.

C&c are most welcome

May I have your permission to use him as my avatar here on DeviantArt?
Additionally, this is my favorite picture of an "undead" ever.

love the composition.i really dig the layout and how you can just Barely see the castle. the one thing negative that stand out to me is the way you painted around the head of the creature. it stands out to me. that area might of been better if the cloud line followed behind the head.

great piece !

Millyar did excellent acting in this movie, but it's actually not first appearance of Koschei the Deathless! He started in ancient Slavic mythology!

OMG tak toto je nádherne D: Som pokukávala na cover-y Červenákovej série už dlhšiu dobu...perfektne spracované Muselo zabrať pekne veľa času. Môžem sa opýtať čo za program používaš?
Inak česť že som autora našla tu na dA *ide okukať galérku*

i think that there is no way to describe this in one word... so this is too cool
you should draw for "wizards of the coast" or some companies like that, then draw more

When I was little my granny read me a story about Kotšei the deathless from a book called "Tale treasures from Russia" or something like that. I allways tought it would be quite clever to hide one's death away...

Anyways this piece brought back memories. And it is an mesmerizing painting, good work, I envy you for your talents.
