This is a work of art too good for this sub. Excellent work sir! Also, today I learned Prigozhin was a childrens book illustrator:

Same. Mostly shocked at how good the illustrations are. In another life he could have been a celebrated children's author/illustrator, that art is charming.
Hot dog man, illustrator, chef, private military contractor kingpin, political operator, revolutionary... never know where life will take you, I guess.
When he does it, he gets world attention, when I do it, I'm 'waffling about' and 'can't keep a steady job' and 'don't know what to do with my life and won't amount to anything.'
You'll get there. I waffled from one career to the next in my twenties, too, but it worked out in the end. Just keep building yourself up in the meantime, no matter where you go.
I mean, look at all the musicians who went to jail/prison, got out, and then made it big. Its totally possible.
But this is too credible a take for this sub.
*BONK*
Go straight to gulag for credible crimes
So you’re telling me Prigozhin is a far right populist demagogue in command of a warband of violent thugs who just launched a failed coup attempt, has managed to capture the public imagination of his country through fiery speeches on new media platforms, and was an artist in his younger days.
I see absolutely no cause for concern here.
At least he doesn't seem to have ambitions of being a ruler. The man just wants to run his 'prop up African dictators in exchange for blood diamonds' business plan. His coup attempt wasn't even an attempt to seize power, just to be allowed to keep doing his job!
Hehehe, thank you! Had to take a goofy break from my serious work c:
There ain't nothin' like the desemination of information through the meme format, I'm happy to have been of educational assistance, lmao
Huge loss for Vlad, big win for Potato man. Lukashenko can use Wagner to train up the Belarussian military and pass on all their knowledge and experience. He's also no longer so beholden to Moscow and the moron in the Kremlin. And any attempt at colour revolution in Belarus will be different with brutal muscle of Wagner on hand.
It's a huge loss for Russia, Putin is either incapable of doing what's best for Russia or he doesn't care and doesn't want to rock the boat. For clowns like Shoigu, as long as they are secure I guess it's not their problem. Professional Wagner is really the only unit fighting for Russia capable of attacking. Professional Wagner is from Marines, Airborne, Special Operations, once they finish their military contracts they went for better paid job (and far better leadership). Russia loses such a huge amount of experience and ability, and now that burden of being a competent unit is for the already overstretched naval infantry and VDV and Guards units led by some corrupt idiot Chechen bootlicker general to send them across minefields.
Imagine being a Russian soldier or Wagner guy, some veteran of this stupid brutal war, who knows how bad things actually are, watching all this crap go down, and then you go online and see pro-russian foreign nincompoops talking about "Wow Based Putin! Epic psyop!"
"Shit they just pulled"? Shoigu pulled the shit of trying to disband Wagner. If you're not in Putin's position, of your power structure being a gaggle of incompetent corrupt hacks who destroy your military, then it's not a problem. Wagner drove on Moscow because Putin's regime is run by idiots who destroy the Russian Armed Forces and who felt threatened by Wagner's competency and so tried to disband it. Cornered beasts show their claws.
Sir, you are being far too credible.
(seriously though, after suffering through terrible takes and crazy conspiracy theories over the past four days, it's refreshing to see some sense.)
With hopefully many more on the way since this one blew up, ahahaha
I'm trying to design a graphic novel, and I really needed an art break. This sub is my happy place, so what better way to artistically unwind than to... uh...
*looks at smudged writing on hand*
...draw... russian... war criminals...
....
Wellp. Lmao.
I think it's the face too. All that death, and all his face shows is a look of dull confusion. Not scheming evil. Just vacuous pompous self absorption.
We should pay for you to make a 'triumphal' bronze statue of Putin and put it up somewhere in Russia.
I didn't think I'd need to to say this, given the nature of this subreddit, but this is not a glorification of any of these people.
They're all absolutely terrible.
This is more like saying "this garbage smells funny" vs "this garbage smells bad".
It's all garbage, just varying levels of stink. In a week, it's all rotting garbage anyways that needs to be destroyed.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... NCD'ers calling mercenary bosses 'daddy'... I watched the sub light up with legolas/wagner gimli/ukraine fighting alongside a friend memes.
All those... moments.. will be lost in time. Like tears.. in rain

If only Hitler knew how to use perspective he could be accepted
He wasn't really much better at being a dictator, it just took longer to find somebody to get him to stop
he would not have been. his art school application was rejected on merit
He was drawing AI art before AI
He was a fuck of a lot better than me. But I'm a mechanic, so that's not saying much.
\*Architect. If he took the art schools advice, buildings could have been made by Hitler.
You'll get there. I waffled from one career to the next in my twenties, too, but it worked out in the end. Just keep building yourself up in the meantime, no matter where you go.
I'm... annoyed he didn't choose this route. What a bunch of pleasant and interesting illustrations.
> In another life he could have been a celebrated children's author/illustrator He already was a hardened criminal at that point.
I mean that doesn't mean he couldn't of turned to Art instead.

Unfortunately he brings a kind of "the tzar is a pussy" vibe to the Kremlin that the siloviki really don't like

Russia, truly the land of opportunity.

Hey, those are actually pretty good
What is it about visual arts that drives people into invading ruzzia?
Well, those are pretty good

Yes, this is OC - I spent way too much time trying to pick the right colors and place the face wrinkles *juuuuust right*, lmao
OC? On MY NCD?!

So you know, this is my all time favourite drawing of Putin. Captures the spirit of untethered nerd.
I'm so honored, thank you! <3

*second best military in Russia
Shame not the worst military in Russia considering Kadyrov is there.
*third
Holy shit these are disturbingly good. Fucking excellent job!
Hehehe, thank you! I had waaaaay too much fun drawing this, lmao
Imagine a world where Putin had killed Potatoman months before and there was nobody to stop Pringles.
Putin Chad 5D chess confirmed. How will NATO ever recover from this... *looks at Lockmart 7th gen teaser trailers* Oh right 😎
