As we prepare to finish the
second SENTINELS Anthology, I wanted to start sharing some of the amazing work
that all of the creators have done for the book!
We have over thirty talented
writers and artists from all over the world involved in this and we’re honored
to be working with them. I plan to spotlight and talk about each of them and
their contribution to the second SENTINELS Anthology over the course of the next
months.
First up is SASHA GLADYSH!
Sasha Gladysh is from Izhevsk,
Udmurtia (Russian Federation) where she used to be a designer and newspaper
illustrator. Over the last few years though, Sasha has been doing mostly
freelance work on independent comics and webcomics, doing illustrations for
books and video games and also working in animation. Obviously, I’ve been a fan
of her work on deviantArt for a long time now. What first caught my eye about
Sasha’s work was the way she draws faces. They’re very expressive and
emotional. She has the ability to capture a mood perfectly with her clean and
precise lines. Add to that the way Sasha colors and I believe it’s a very
powerful combo!
Teaming up the right artist with
the right story is often difficult. But it’s also something I put a lot of
thought into. So, when I received Jeff Streeter’s story for Agent Huggins, I
knew Sasha was the perfect artist to bring his words to life. Agent Huggins is
an important character to me (she was based on a real person who had passed) and
Sasha did not disappoint in her strong, determined and vulnerable rendition of
the character.
As one half of the first creative
team to complete their story, Sasha and I hadn’t spoken for a while since her
work was long done. But with the book almost complete, we’ve been in
communication again and I excited to have been shown what Sasha is working on
now! She told me I could share this, so I hope people will check it out, but
Sasha is working on her own animated film! Seriously, she’s drawing a movie!! I
wish I had that kind of dedication and ambition. It blows me away to think of
all the work she is doing for it and it looks amazing! But please don’t take my
word for it, check out her blog ( http://autumn-sacura.tumblr.com/tagged/nylash-no-vumurt
) to see character designs (which are so detailed and unique!) and short
animated clips. I can’t wait to see the film complete!
