Meet The Hunter
“The Hunter is a comics made during Inktober 2018. It was quite interesting to take random words and make a logical story from them!” says Zavka about her creative process. “The story itself is about a hunter girl who destroys her environment to please herself. She poisons flowers, eats animals and shoots a star. It’s surreal and psychedelic also, as I often do in my other works. I can say that my work is a mixture of beauty, dreams and madness.
