Dark Art – Corrupted Nature

Corrupted Nature – The Digital Overgrowth We often talk about technology “connecting” us, or nature “healing” us, but in my work, I prefer to explore what happens when those two forces collide violently. This piece, titled Corrupted Nature, is a study in that forced integration—a biological nightmare where sap and oil bleed together. The concept […]

Inktober 2025 – Day 24 – Rowdy

Inktober 2025 – Day 24 : Rowdy “Rowdy” is a word that smells like stale beer, sweat, and feedback loops. It’s the feeling of a mosh pit right before the breakdown hits. For Day 24, I didn’t want to draw a bar fight; I wanted to draw the soundtrack to one. This piece is a

Inktober 2025 – Day 23 – Firefly

Inktober 2024 – Day 4 : Exotic – Dark Art When most people hear “Firefly,” they think of childhood mason jars and soft, magical summer nights. That imagery is far too gentle for my sketchbook. For Day 23, I decided to take the prompt literally and twist it into something volatile. I didn’t want a

Inktober 2025 – Day 22 – Button

Inktober 2025 – Day 22 : Button “Button” is such a harmless word. It implies fastening a shirt, a small detail, or perhaps something “cute as a button.” But in the realm of dark art, even the smallest details can scream. For Day 22, I wanted to subvert that cuteness and turn a functional object

Inktober 2025 – Day 21 – Blast

Inktober 2025 – Day 21 : Blast – Dark Art “Blast” suggests an explosion, a release of energy that can’t be contained. While my work usually dwells in the quiet shadows, there is a specific kind of tragic violence in comic book heroes that appeals to me. For Day 21, I chose Cyclops—a leader cursed

Inktober 2025 – Day 20 – Rivals

Inktober 2025 – Day 20 : Rivals – Dark Art When the prompt “Rivals” drops, the instinct is to draw two warriors clashing swords or a classic hero-villain face-off. But after a decade in this scene, I know the most vicious rivalries aren’t external. The true enemy—the one that knows every weakness you have—is staring

Inktober 2025 – Day 19 – Arctic

Inktober 2025 – Day 19 : Arctic – Dark Art The Arctic is often romanticized as a place of pristine, white silence. But to a mind that dwells in the shadows, silence is just a hunting ground. For Day 19, the prompt “Arctic” didn’t bring to mind cute penguins or scientific outposts. It brought to

Inktober 2025 – Day 18 – Deal

Inktober 2025 – Day 18 : Deal – Dark Art When the prompt “Deal” comes up, most might think of business handshakes or pacts. But in the dark corners where I find my inspiration, a “deal” is usually a gamble—and the house always wins. For Day 18, I decided to sketch the ultimate agent of

Inktober 2025 – Day 17 – Ornate

Inktober 2025 – Day 17 : Ornate – Dark Art I’ve been staining my fingers black with this challenge since the very beginning. There is something unforgiving about ink; once the line is down, there is no going back. It fits the theme of “Blunder” perfectly. A mistake in ink is permanent, just like a

Inktober 2025 – Day 16 – Blunder

Inktober 2025 – Day 16 – Blunder I’ve been staining my fingers black with this challenge since the very beginning. There is something unforgiving about ink; once the line is down, there is no going back. It fits the theme of “Blunder” perfectly. A mistake in ink is permanent, just like a fatal error on
