At the time, I didn’t have a clear idea of what self-image appeals to me as an artist, despite the fact that it is already a custom to create a presentable and recognizable avatar for yourself if you publish your creative stuff on the Internet. But I just recently got out of the short pants of a fan artist and didn’t know how to present myself yet. It became clear to me that the fan-character avatar I had before would not be suitable for a more serious venture into the world of artists, and I needed to find an alternative, but nothing was coming to mind.

This is how Someone came to be – a space wanderer, peeking into alien worlds with great interest, to weave his own stories later. The right eye is connected to the left hemisphere and logic, so I made it red. Red is a strict color. The left eye is connected to the right hemisphere and to fantasy, so I painted it green, by association with something good, natural and fresh. The demon itself is blue… Because red, green and blue are the basis of all colors in the additive color system.
