I was amazed people get paid for doing what they love.” And so Danar began painting five hours a day, every day.

He took to Facebook and forum Crimson Daggers to seek the advice of fellow artists – who, he says, helped with inspiration but also with promoting his work. It’s a portfolio that ranges from understated portraiture to complex mech designs. “As long as I’m painting,” Danar concludes, “I’m a happy man.” 1 Athena – Project Rebirth “This is a personal project. I’m still working on the story, but this gives a good idea of what the whole project would look like.” 2 Dark Knight Returns portrait “This painting was inspired by Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns – I wanted to make some fan art based on his work. This is one of those paintings that just came out of nowhere.” 3 Supreme Being “I made this piece after seeing a reference photo. I used the photo as a base and then tried to work with shapes and defining what type of character it is.” 4 innocent “This painting is based on Brandon Witzel’s work. I wanted to test out the hard versus soft edges on this one and give it a traditional feeling.”
