Some illustrations for the pitch i’m working on, for that graphic novel project called Cerise. I previously posted some characters here. More to see on my blog!

Last one was just a little doodle for my scenarist’s birthday ^^

Bad Unkl Sista is an experience. They’re a mashup of Butoh without the depression and couture without the haughty.  However you try to classify them - what they are is art, imagination and drama. Oh and humor, sex and silliness. And they put on a hell of a drawing event. Here’s some sketches from last night’s Metamorphica:

Done for Beautifulgrim.org, All the artists contributions can be seen here. http://art.beautifulgrim.org/
“My name is Daarken and I am a concept artist and illustrator working for Mythic Entertainment. My friend Leif Jeffers, an animator at DreamWorks, and I are organizing an art auction fundraiser that will be held next year. Earlier this year my girlfriend, Cat, was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 25. On November 3rd, 2009, she had a bilateral mastectomy after going through 16 weeks of chemotherapy. As you can imagine it has been hard for her, not only mentally and physically, but financially. In order to help alleviate some of her medical bills Leif and I wanted to throw an art auction. The proceeds that are left over after her medical bills have been paid will go to a breast cancer related charity to be determined by the artists in the coming weeks.”

Mike and Cat are newly engaged. Please give them your support, spread the word and do what you can for the charity. Please visit the website for upcoming information on the showing and auction. In the meantime you can donate on the main-page here.

I’ve been pursuing personal work since the start of this year, and I feel I’ve finally got that creative spark back and I’m really enjoying everything, and having lots of fun. I dont think they have grown as much technically as I’d like but I feel without the right mindset that’s not possible anyway, so I’m sure that side will gain momentum eventually.

Unfortunately since the clothing store I work at closed down, I gotta try get an illustration folio happening, since I don’t know how much longer i can stand working in retail, hehe!!

Cheers!!!

I was asked a few times about how I used the smudge tool on this image. Actually, this was all done with Painter’s Oils, which smudge the paint as you move it across the canvas.
Here are the steps backwards, showing the process.
Thanks for watching,

A few of my latest ink drawings… much bigger than a lot of older drawings that I’ve done. Focussing on things unpleasant but alluring. I think I’ll be setting up a print store in the near future too for small selected prints and works.

folio & weblog

A pair done quickly, anything I added seemed to take away so in essence I suppose they are complete. Done with spare moments, the kind I wish were in abundance.

More updates on my blog and sketchblog.
