Cadetowa

Hi! Kadet here (you might also see me as Cadet or sometimes Cadetowa).

I’m an polish digital artist with a big soft spot for military themes. I mostly draw fictional militaria—both modern and historical (WW1 and onward). History is something I treat with a lot of respect; I used to be involved in historical reenactment, which definitely shaped how I approach my work today.

I’m a woman, so please use she/her when referring to me.

Professionally, I’m connected to uniformed services, which is why I tend to obsess over details—whether it’s gear, structure, or the way my characters function in their worlds. That said, everything I create is fictional. My art does not promote any ideology or real-world stance, and my characters’ actions are not a reflection of my personal beliefs.

I have… quite a few OCs living rent-free in my head—mostly in military settings (including 15 Call of Duty OCs), and each of them deserves attention and a bit of love. This account will focus mainly on original content, with occasional fanart here and there.

Outside of that, I also like Avatar (Cameron) and a few other fandoms, though I don’t actively create for all of them anymore.

You can also find me on TikTok and Instagram.

Please don’t repost, use, or edit my art in any way.

FIRST OF ALL, I absolutely love Gen. Gen belongs to @sleepy-dino12. Second, I absolutely love drawing Soap. This guy is so damn handsome, and I’m happy every time I get to draw him. Third, I feel so damn silly because I use Tumblr so rarely and I’m a little scared to post here, but hey. I guess I should catch up, so get ready for some backlogged content.

And here’s another of Dino’s OCs, Eve! Both ladies are gorgeous, and you should head over to Dino’s to give her lots of love.

Brief character introductions!! Nathaniel Kursko A cynical Shadow Company field surgeon who’d rather terrorize a pilot and risk a court-martial to stitch you up under mortar fire than admit he’s saving your life just so he can have some peace and quiet while knitting and binge-watching romantic comedies. Major Nathaniel Kursko. Major Kursko is my second main character in COD. Nathaniel is trauma surgeon working for Shadow Company. Callsign Needle, sometimes called Granny / Stitch. Nathaniel was a member of the Joint Medical Augmentation Unit (JMAU). He is a talented guy with a photographic memory, thanks to which he graduated from the USUHS (Uniformed Services University) with very high grades.

He's a serious guy who's tired of life. Ever since the army mocked him and tried to send him to work as a military lecturer at a medical school, Nathaniel gave them the finger and took Graves up on his offer, giving him carte blanche as long as he continued to assemble his men. In short he was generally charged with; Willful disobedience to the order of a senior officer. Exposing military assets (helicopter and crew) to undue risk. Threatening national security by disclosing a position in the "Denod" (Denied Operations) zone. Nathaniel is a man who is generally perceived as aloof. He walks the line between medical ethics and the ruthlessness of a special forces operator. He represents the "Lawful Neutral" type at its most cynical. His loyalty lies with the contract and the people around him, not the flag or ideology. He is cold, analytical. He is not the type of doctor who holds your hand and tells you everything will be alright. He makes decisions based on what he believes is right, not the emotional well-being of the patient. His warmth has long since been buried. As a trauma surgeon with the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), he has often made split-second decisions about life and death. This has instilled in him a confidence bordering on arrogance. He believes that if he can't fix someone, no one can. However, beneath his cynicism lies a deep fear of failure.

Additionally, he's a functioning depressive. This manifests itself through chronic insomnia and emotional coldness. Drug therapy allows him to function, but adrenaline is his true solace. However, he's a damn good listener. Among other things, he's a fan of romantic comedies and knitting.

I recently made some ship art for a friend, shadowlikestodraw.

Shadow with Ghost! ^^ It was part of an art trade that I sometimes do with my friends. Below is a screenshot of the work in progress, because I love the version before grayscale!

“Get out of my way, Phillip,” she growled, her muscles tensing for the jump. “Or I'll remove you from it.” Coyote stopped smiling. He saw something in the dog's eyes that he hadn't expected. No hesitation.

Here is a description of my OC's relationship with the Call of Duty and Graves universe! I'll post their art soon <3 Their relationship had always balanced on a fine line between passion and the clash of two incompatible worlds. Małgorzata “Squirrel” Liwerska and Phillip Graves stood opposite each other as the embodiment of order and chaos. However, this was not a picture of hatred, but of a tragic misunderstanding of priorities. Margaret, portrayed as a Belgian Malinois sheepdog, exudes cool precision. As a military police officer, Liwerska is a prisoner of her own code – her collar is not a symbol of submission, but a sign of belonging to the Law. Her love for Graves, though deep and sincere, has never been able to drown out her instinct for duty. Loyalty to the system is absolute; feelings are merely background noise that must be silenced when pulling the trigger. On the other side stands Graves – the Coyote. His animal form perfectly reflects the nature of a man who values survival above honor. Surrounded by a pack of smaller, gray shadows – his subordinates – Graves displays the nonchalance of a predator who believes that cunning can overcome any force. The betrayal of Task Force 141 was his great gambit, but in this bloody plan, he carved out a safe enclave for her. In his opinion, he saved her from having to be an accomplice to the crime. Graves, that sly opportunist, made a fatal mistake in his assessment of his partner. He thought that by protecting her from the dirty work, he would earn her gratitude or at least her tacit consent. He failed to understand that for a perfectionist like her, the very existence of betrayal was reason enough to attack. Surrounded by hostile coyotes (Shadow Company), and being part of another “pack” herself, she shows no fear. If Phillip Graves stands in the way of the justice she represents, she will bite him with the same effectiveness with which she loved him.

Hey! You may have seen this video on TikTok, and if so, I'm glad to hear it because I'm the author! ^^ I love the Call of Duty universe, and this scene really touched my heart.
