IT EXISTS pt2 Bug Out

Danila Golovatyi, comic artist interested in character design. I first started working on random characters, I had an idea to turn the stories about aliens and weird creatures into a comic. At the time I also became interested in designing creepy creatures and doing sketches of different folk tales so I wanted to practice my work in a meaningful way. In time all of the seperate small project and sketches combined into an idea for a comic book and then into a series of books.This is a continuation of comic series that I started working on over a year prior. The purpose of the work is to interpret conspiracy theories and urban legends in a hyperbolised and fun way through the eyes of three main characters who each represent their own niche of conspiracy theories who get tangled up in a net of paranormal accurances and national interests. Using the 80s and 90s movie tropes and real life events as an inspiration to create a feeling of a typical American small town, populated by characters who feel alive and have some over the top quirks about them. Turns out supernatural has always been around and the crazy ones are those who don't believe that it exists.
