"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.

spare moments

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.

Also updated SketchpadofDoom with a few more sketches.
Going to respond to those who commented on the last post now.

Vanguard's Outpost

Things are going well, I've been super busy moving and settling into a new city and haven't had the time to update nor really to do much art. This one dates back a few months and I have sadly lost a few others in process during the move. I've resolved to create a lot of more art lately so I'm hoping to update more often either here on my sketchblog so keep an eye out if you please :)

Going to respond to those who commented on the last post now.

Thank you !

I wanted to thank everyone for their support as I look for a new job, really means a lot to me and I've replied to everyone in the previous post :)

I'm still searching and am open to relocating all over the country as long as it's a good fit for the sort of art I enjoy.

In the mean time here are two images I've had sitting around for awhile that are quite a bit different than my usual and were good fun to experiment with. I'm happy to say I learned a great deal from these images. I've got a few more I'd like to share with you soon, but they need another coat of polish and the majority of my time these days is dedicated to the job hunt so it may take some time.

Thanks again ! Wish me luck !

Offically Job Hunting

Howdy Folks,

I'm currently looking for a full-time position in the San Francisco and surrounding areas within the fields of Visual Development/Concept Art. If you know of anything that might be a good fit I'd sure appreciate the help :) I've got almost two and a half years experience on 4 titles and am also extremely passionate <3

I've been really enjoying art once again after a few very dormant months and as a result I have been doing about a personal painting a day as well as a few doodles here and there on top of everything else. It's been really fulfilling to expand and explore a bit further than I have been able to lately.

Anyhow, here are a few recent paintings. Some are more finished than others and all could use another layer of polish and refinement but it's time to move on and focus on other weaknesses.
