Fedor Nechitaylo, most commonly known as FedorComix, is a Russian cartoonist and animator. He is the founder of Phoenix Animation and acting producer of such animated series as Albert the Cat, No Way Back and My student spirit.
Biography[]
Fedor was born in 1996, in Rostov-on-Don, Russia. Nechitaylo's mother taught art, which encouraged her child to take up drawing as well. In the summer of 2003, his mother suggested that he move to Italy, where she was working at the time, to which he agreed after learning Italian. In Italy, Nechitaylo went to second grade. Under the impression of being in a new country for Fedor and Disney comics, he started his first comic book, namely «The First Day of School». Even though he later abandoned it, this project got him interested in creating other comics.
Fedor eventually returned to Russia, completing 2nd to 11th grades there, but still returning to Italy periodically and continuing his studies there as well. After leaving school, Fedor started studying to become an accountant, but his college studies did not last longer than six months. In 2011, back in Russia, Fedor received his diploma and started studying to become a Spanish translator.
Inspired by popular personalities, on 8 April 2012, Fedor created a channel and began producing music videos and sketches on Countryballs. This did not bring much popularity, bringing Fedor 400 subscribers in his first year of video-blogging. Because of the lack of recognition, Fedor began to have depressing thoughts about stopping his creative work.
