Hey :3 As the title says, I've joined Crimson Daggers in my quest for new artistic knowledge, to have my work [honestly, bitterly] critiqued, and to chat with other artists. This site was recommended to me by shadow-wolf on DA, and so here I am. Funny how that works xD
I'm also on deviantart and mweor by the same name, those are the only online places I'm really active right now.

Some WIP stuff I've done lately, for lack of anything decent to show. Drag to address bar for full size.






These are commissions or pre-make characters I've been wanting to sell. They're cliche, childish, and won't get me much respect as an artist. Basically what the community on a site like mweor is looking for. I sincerely hope I can do better some day, and though these aren't much to show, doing characters has taught me a lot about color coordination, distinct characteristics, etc. BUT I WANT TO DO BETTER.

I use SAI, a Bamboo Touch, and your average mechanical pencils and sketchbook from the nearest Wal-Mart. I've been seriously into art since I was perhaps 7, and started studying art when I was about, um, 12. Took a lot of ego-bashing to admit I needed tutorials and such, always figured I was the bestest artist in the whole wide world. NOPE.
Now I'm on the search for good art books, lessons, and online resources. I don't have any art classes available to me [though I'm always looking] so I figure I can learn all I can from books before college and then go deeper at that time. Though it all looks pretty ugly now, I'm actually way better than I was even six months ago. Always, constantly learning and seeking.

Hope I didn't screw up this whole introduction thing. See you guys around, thanks for stopping by? xD

Hello Crimson Daggers!
I've been into drawing for most of my life, but only recently made up my mind to make art my prime concern. From the beginning, i realized that i'm no good at all, but that i can improve immensely through effort. Yes, i want to be a professional, but most importantly, i want to improve as an artist and as a person by dedicating myself hardcore to this thing i love doing.

By the end of the day, i want to know that i gave my all, and i hope this community can help me drive my efforts. I know it's gonna be tough anyway, but it's tougher being alone, right?

Hello guys! I'm Caique Pituba from Brazil, 18, and aspiring to be a professional Illustrator. Today, i'm on a really weird time of my life, where my family totally disapproves following this career, and well, i'm on the 3rd semester of the ACCOUNTING COLLEGE.

I always loved art and illustration, and was drawing all the time, but in high school i was under so much pressure and stuff, that i decided to join at accounting college - mostly worried about $afety. Well, now i totally regret that, but i'm really affraid of my family's reaction if i quit, so i can totally focus on illustration and even an art degree.

Well, it's been 1 year since i'm really focused on refining my skills and on illustration career, but it's quite hard to do it when you're splitting your time with those too completely opposite things!

So this is basically who i am today! I'm sure i'll learn a lot from you guys!

Greetings form Brazil! :)

Was watching a livestream by suzanne helmigh i think the name was, and saw her open this site during it. came on here and decided to join up since i think i need a fresh new art site to frequent.

I draw and paint but not as frequently as i would like. I am interested in getting back into it!

Howdy!

Brent Hollowell pointed me to this forum, and I decided to join up.

Like the thread title says, I'm a concept artist. I tend to work mostly digital on an Intuos 4 and Photoshop. I also like to draw in pencils and paint with ink. I'll be lurking after this post for a bit to get the lay of the boards; figure out where to post WIP and get/give crits. I look forward to getting to know yall.

So I've actually known about this place for a while now, and I've been an inactive member for some time as well, but I've finally gained the courage enough to introduce myself.

My name is Zachary, I'm 21, and I've only been working with digital art for a little over a year now. I really want to become a freelance illustrator. It's been a goal of mine for the last year, but I only started taking it seriously about a month ago. I figure this is the next step. This community is full of hard working individuals and it's inspiring to say the least.

Thanks!

Hello, my name is Maria but everyone calls me kitten. I'm still a high school student but I send as much time as I can trying to improve my art. I wish someday to be able to become an architect or a concept artist/designer in the entertainment industry. I'm really chill and I truly appreciate critiques so if something looks off, please let me know, I have thick skin and am trying to learn so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I´m Lars, 25 years old. Big fan of drawing, painting, mixed martial arts, good music, coffee and good beer, and bacon.

Finally got the courage to sign up to this place.
It seems like this place is where the hard-working cool people from conceptart.org migrated to.
I really like the atmosphere of this forum, where there´s focus on improvement and hard work. :)

Anyway, nice to meet you, Crimson Daggers!
