The first image that came to mind when I was asked how I saw myself in the magical world. A cat with a mane came out, but to be completely honest, a clear image was absent from my mind at the time. I relied on some of my old cat character designs while creating this work. Then one important esotericist told me that the goddess Demeter or Cybele was suitable for me, and so in other galleries I described her simply as a sacred cat or cat dedicated to Demeter. But that wasn’t the original idea. It was supposed to be my magical image, but very soon I was told that the character is too soft-bodied, and I had to add armor. Dragoncat was created after that.
