The Call of Cthulhu Poster.

My take on the climax of H.P. Lovecraft's story "The Call of Cthulhu". With the Necronomicon quote we all know and love. Poster available for sale, and for free use under a Creative Commons Attribution license. If you don't want to buy, you can download, print yourself, share, use, and even sell. As long as you attribute me as the artist. And Lovecraft, of course. Based on one of my #inktober sketches. There will be more of these posters, including some exclusive ones for Patrons.

Concert art sneak-peak gallery is updated with sketches of Slegest and Einherjer from last Saturday. http://denungeherrholm.smugmug.com/Patreon/Live-sketch-previews-/n-wvJV2 Password is still: free

Only Death is Real poster

I've long wanted to do posters and designs based on my sketches, and thank to Patreon I've managed to start doing it. This first one is based on an #inktober sketch and one of the few truths in life. It's available for free download, or to buy as a 20 x 30 inch poster for 66.60$. I'll be doing a lot more posters in the future, including exclusive ones just for my patrons. The exclusive posters will not be throw-aways, but full fledged designs as awesome as I can make them. All will be releas...

Einherjer/Slegest and Th White Ship-video sneak peaks.

Here's a photo of yesterday's catch: Einherjer and Slegest at Garage. Also, a little video of me drawing The White Ship. Music by Posthum. I'll release this video in a few days, but for now it's for your eyes only. http://youtu.be/D8H_4pD34xM :)

A few changes...

I'm learning this Patreon stuff as I go, and I'll be changing and updating as I go. Hopefully for the better. One change for the better is that the 1000$ milestone is removed. Simply because I'm a comic-book artist, so I should be making comics-pages every month no matter how much freelance work I have. So I'll announce a new monthly project soon. ;) The 2000$ milestone, full artistic freedom, is moved to 1000$. Simply because a 1000$ would be insane, and if I can manage that I can also manage...

The White Ship

" And thereafter the ocean told me its secrets no more; and though many times since has the moon shone full and high in the heavens, the White Ship from the South came never again." H.P. Lovecraft "The White Ship" (1919) This was one of the first Lovecraft stories that entranced me, and I read it again and again. I have not read it in a long while, and the art is based only on my memory of it. Like a dreaming of a dream. Original in approximately 40cm x 30cm is for sale for 100$, including in...

#inktober art up for free use!

Mon Dieu quelle horreur! Nosferatu! Shoggoth! Cthulhu! Gesundheit! All October I participated in the #inktober challenge, and drew one image per day directely with ink, and now they're all uploaded in hi-res for free use. Personal, commercial, doesn't matter, 33 images to do as you please with under a Creative Commons Attribution license. (33? Yes, it was such a success that I did three images the last day. I was literally falling asleep while doing the last one. Literally). The art is all L...

Concert art from Posthum, Hadens, and Istårn!

Finally uploaded the last weeks concert sketches, of Posthum and Hadens at Hulen, Bergen, and Istårn at 1880, Bergen. The art is drawn directly by the side of the stage during the concerts, and presented exactly as they were drawn. Released in hi-res for free use, but you can also buy originals for 65$ a piece or prints in different sizes. Hadens: http://denungeherrholm.smugmug.com/keyword/hade...

Timelapse making art for unannounced contest...

A top-secret, classified, for your eyes only timelapse of some art I've done for an unannounced contest. http://youtu.be/kiQ8cpHiaAc Follow Blackhearts for announcements: https://www.facebook.com/blackheartsfilm Music "Alborz Rising" by From The Vastland: https://www.face...

Patreon exclusive content!

I'm still figuring out how this Patreon thingie works, so please excuse some hiccups. Earlier todays I posted some images as attachments to the post, but that wasn't a very good solution as you have to download them one by one. Now I though I'd try making a patreon-exclusive part of my gallery at http://denungeherrholm.smugmug.com/ but that's not a long-term solution for small updates either. So please excuse the inconve...

Working on an unannounced drawing for an unannounced contest for a certain thing I've had nothing to do with so far. Doing a timelapse of the process as well, which all of you will be the first to get to see. I'm combining Ahriman, from Zoroastrian mythology, a demon from pre-Colombian times, a Greek dragon, and some Norse dragons. And there might be some sacrifice involved at a later point. Stay tuned.

Todays catch: Hadens and Posthum.

Today's catch! Hadens and Posthum at Hulen! From now the next concert on, these little sneak peaks, taken directly after drawing concerts, will be exclusive to Patreon-backers. The rest the world will have to wait 'till they're posted at my gallery and facebook. (This is not taking away anything non-backers, it's just moving a little extra from one place to another place where it makes more sense. It's always just been a thing I do once in a while, now it will be something I try to do every ti...

Making postcards timelapse.

Here's a timelapse of me making original, handrawn postcards for my backers. The postcards will be scanned before they're sent, and released under a Creative Commons Attribution license, for free use, sometime after the originals are safe in their patrons hands.

Making postcards.

Here's a little update video, where I present some small changes to the rewards, and show you how I draw the postcards for the 50$ reward. The changes to the rewards are as follows: - You now get the two commissions of the 25$ reward included in the 50$ reward. - There's now a 5$ reward, where you get the wallpapers of the 10$ reward, but not the posters or early access. Hope that sounds OK, and enjoy the music of our friends in Tombstones. 2014-11-06 22:31:24 +0000 UTC View Post

Vinterbris and Kim Holm: Making of the Artwork for "Solace"

Video I did of the process of making the artwork for Vinterbris' album "Solace". Published earlier by Vinterbris. Will start publishing new creations pretty soon, but have a few more old things to add.

Dass meets the Black Death in Bergen -timelapse.

I've written a couple of blogposts, really loooong blogposts, on why I am on Patreon, what my goals are, copyright, crowdfunding, making a living as a artist, and the future. On is in English, the other in Norwegian. They both say mostly the same things, but often in different ways. Read them if you have an interest, and come back here and comment if you have some thoughts on the issues. In English: http://cartoonar...

Thank you!

In under 24 hours we've already reached 150$ This is totally amazing, and... it means Free Art Fridays are back, once a month! I'll announce the details later. The show will probably have evolved a bit since last time. For those who do not know, Free Art Fridays is a live artcast were I draw requests from the audience in hi-res for free use, while talking and perhaps listening to some music. There might even be some give-aways. We'll see. You can find the old Free Art Friday images here: 2014-11-04 19:47:52 +0000 UTC View Post

1st backer update!

We reached 99$ a month before 12 hours had gone by! This is really amazing. So I thought I'd release a little something, to show appreciation and a glimpse of some of the things I'll be posting exclusively in the patron-feed. It's sort of like an #inktober blooper video, but without hilarity. It wasn't released because the camera doesn't catch all the drawing. But it's pretty cool still. Hope you like it. http://youtu.be/SSd-5ZKTB...
