Svodiak, lifelong passion project
Svodiak started as a small map, a simple drawing I made when I was only 8 years old. Back then, I didn’t know I was creating the beginning of something that would change my life. It was a place where everything I loved came to life, and that little map, which once only had mountains and rivers, grew into a continent and then into an entire world.
The world map of Svodiak
This project is like a beautiful garden I tend with all my heart. Every now and then, I plant seeds that I don’t know will sprout or not, but it’s amazing how, from one day to the next, stories, opportunities, and moments arise that push me forward. Deep down, I see it as a mission. I feel that Svodiak holds incredible potential, infinite versatility, and even the opportunity to become something professional that could move people. More than just a world, I want it to be a place where a community can grow, a sanctuary for anyone who wants to dive into it.
Today, I’ve begun sharing this part of myself with the world. Recently, I uploaded my first video to YouTube, and that’s just the beginning. My plan is, when I can organize myself better, to expand my presence to other social media platforms and formats, taking Svodiak beyond what I’ve imagined so far.
My videos have my personal touch, my unique style. I want them to be immersive, so people don’t just watch, but feel like they’re living the stories. I present them in a fun way, mixing memes and lightening up the narrative a bit. Like those episodes or series that accompany you on a long, hard day, bring a smile, and help you forget, if only for a moment, the chaos of life.
For the moment, I’m producing these first videos all by myself, but i expect to reinvest in some help. When it comes to the visual assets, i did them with photobashing and concept art techniques, making them have that authentic look, as if they were real documents from Svodiak, so the audience feels like they’re seeing something tangible, something that can come to life beyond the screen. Plus, I have plans for animatics and special episodes that will explore the grand events of Svodiak’s vast history. The journey has just begun!
So, as I always say; vbaicha!
