Crimson Daggers — Art forum

hey hey

think its time to get a bit more active here,
seeing as there's a few like minded people here, that's only striving to become better artists

im gonna use this spot to post all my work, ask for advice and so on.
be nice please, I previously uploaded some art to ask for criticism, and one guy just attacked it.

Don't be a hater yo

Criticizing artwork is one thing being mean is another,
here's a few links to see what Ive done to this point and also my deviant art page.

Ill be posing some art every day, i just have some work and I'm a bit limited on time at the moment and wont be able to post everything at once.

This is my take on the famed "White wolf"
This is by far my most favorite character

I took some ideas from the designs from each game and also the book and the series and combined them all and also added a bit of my own twist
