ROLE MODEL
By Ann Rozhanska, 8c

There are many popular people in the world, with an interesting biography and a path to fame. But for this project, I chose a celebrity who is my idol. Fedor Comics or Fyodor Nechitailo Konstantinovich is a comics artist, animator cartoonist and creator of the animation studio Phoenix. But it is clear that Fedya went to success for a long time and painfully. So let's start at the beginning.

Fedor was born in Rostov-on-Don. The guy lived like all ordinary children, he was a versatile person, he was an artist and a dancer, and also learnt Italian . But as you can understand, he connected life only with drawing, although he also learned Italian for a good reason. Since childhood, Fedya loved Italy, and even studied there for a couple of years and sometimes visited in summer. And it was in this country that the guy got the idea for the first comic strip, about the impression from the Italian school. And just in Italy, the guy came up with the idea to create his famous comic strip "Land of Kings". Although the guy came up with the idea about clones back in his school years, somewhere in the ninth grade, the guy wondered "what if you divide yourself into many personalities?"

And after this thought Fedor created the comic "Fedor × 9", and he invented a story about clones and the card world, and at the moment this universe continues to evolve, and the universe is called "13 cards", and the comic about this universe is called "The Land of Kings" is its global project that started 5 years ago, and until now, after so many years, only the first volume about the card world has seen the light. To this day, he continues to work on the comic and this universe. And looking at these years and at such work done (after all, there are 224 pages in the volume, drawn by hand), one might ask the question "how did he make a comic for so many years?", Because for so many years Fedya could get tired of doing the same project, and he could rethink and realize that it made no sense, but no. He continued to do, because many people were waiting for this comic, and the artist himself wanted to bring this project to the end, and successfully goes to the goal.

And the first volume is already on the shelves of comics’ stores, and the second is already in the process.

However, in addition to comics, he also created animation. The first animated video appeared on his channel back in 2012. And since then, animated videos on different topics began to appear on his channel, as well as videos of the same topic, for example: Countyballs (one video was left on the channel, others were deleted), vital, as well as different parodies and different themes. Fedya also experimented a lot, for example, "8-BIT STORY", that was painted in pixels, but it's a pity that not many liked it and he closed the project. Continuing to draw animation, Fedor trained his hand, and the animation grew and the art, and with it the content. And a year later, a new heading "enrages" appears on the channel, which is still included on the channel. As I have mentioned earlier, Fedor is a versatile personality, during the filming, he created many videos not only on the topic of animation. For example, shared vlogs he was filming with a camera and spreading something, he also invited other celebrities to his place and filmed a video, or did an "art battle".

And after 5 years of such activity on YouTube, Fedor creates his Phoenix studio. At the moment, Fyodor runs the studio where there are about a hundred people who work on different projects, for example: My student’s spirit, cat Albert, and the project "can't go back" is also being developed in parallel, and these are only serials. But in addition to animations on the channel, the guys create comics, and in 2020 there were already 4 comics that for a long time occupied the first places in comics shops. And the very idea of Fedya's studios was taken out long ago with the knowledge that he can organize people, after creating mult-collabs As Fedya said, he implements projects of those people who could do it themselves, but obviously they would have done it slower. From this we can see that the guy can analyze people and to each author he finds an approach and a common language.

It was not for nothing that I mentioned Italy at the beginning. To be honest, I can draw a parallel with the fact that Fedya loves this country, the country where great creators lived. These creators brought something new and beautiful, like Fedya. It was he who was the first in the CIS to create such a studio, he was the first to make a cartoon collab in the CIS. And what can I say more, that the guy is an example for me. He is a great person, hardworking and the one who does not give up faced with difficulties, he overcomes them and continues to go straight to the goal. And by his example, he shows that something which seems impossible at first glance can become possible if you try put in a lot of effort and time.
