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 – 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 – 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 – 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 – 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 I’ve been staining my fingers black with this challenge since the very beginning.

Inktober 2025 – Day 15 : Exotic – Dark Art This creates a different kind of dread—the dread of the survivor. The motion here is incredible. You can feel the toxic wind tearing at him. The interpretation of “Ragged” as these unraveling, bloody-red bandages rather than just old clothes is a brilliant, stylistic choice. It

Inktober 2025 – Day 14 : Trunk – Dark Art This is a claustrophobic nightmare. “Trunk” usually conjures up boring images of elephants or serene forests, but you’ve taken it and twisted it into a tomb. There is a visceral agony here that I really appreciate. It reminds me of the old Dante’s Inferno woodcuts

Inktober 2025 – Day 13 : Drink – Dark Art Inktober 2025 – Day 13 : Drink This piece feels like a desperate, unending cycle of sacrifice and gluttony. It’s a beautifully twisted interpretation of the “Drink” prompt—ignoring the mundane comfort of a beverage for the visceral necessity of life-force. The composition strikes me immediately.
