Me: hehe, I'm gonna sketch the different Vlads, from different universes, for the next story that we're writing. Y'know, just some sketches, a bit cartoonish, some outlines, the stylization of their design.

Also me: It's past midnight and I just noticed that I'm drawing them semi-realistic and it's just rough sketches and I need to do the lineart and I'm going to do that tomorrow. Why can't I do simple things, WHY?

~~Also, one of these Vlads is not like the others. You can't guess which one and I'm not gonna tell, because that's a plot twist, or better, a plot revelation.~~

🎬 Title: Ladan Story: This captivating short film, crafted by Mexican-Ethiopian director Jessica Beshir, draws inspiration from the enchanting music of Peruvian composer Pauchi Sasaki.
