Eternal by Ilya Kuvshinov

Eternal by Ilya Kuvshinov

This book collects over 300 new artworks that the artist posted on social media, which were created after Momentary was published. This collection book also includes some of Ilya's commercial works adding extra variety to this second book.

After the success of Momentary, Ilya has gained popularity and has had some exhibitions and created commercial works. One of the most prestigious jobs Ilya was offered was as the character and visual designer for the anime The Wonderland, directed by Keiichi Hara; Crayon Shin-chan series and Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045. This talented illustrator, who was influenced by many Japanese artists, now has 1.y million followers on Instagram, and is established as an influencer of other illustrators around the world.

Because Momentary was solely focused on collecting artwork presented on Ilya's social media, the book was in a square format. But this time, we have produced this book in a larger format to include some of Ilya's commercial works adding extra value and quality into this book.

Ilya Kuvshinov's first exposure with Japanese animation was Ghost in the Shell. At the age of six, Ilya was shocked by this completely new experience, which encouraged him to explore the world of anime and manga. Ilya began learning to draw at the age of 11 and went on to study architecture at Moscow University. Ilya joined a game development firm in order to pursue a career in the creative area, and then went on to work as a concept artist and director at a motion comic company, where he produced Anime-style motion films. Ilya began uploading illustrations on social media at the same time.

He moved to Japan in 2014 to pursue a job in a country where he had long wished to work. Momentary was released in 2016 and quickly became a best-seller. Eternal is his much-anticipated second novel.
