Hi everybody,

I'm aiming to make the transition from the world of studio production to that of freelance illustration and concept art. Love the whole idea of this place.

You can check my work right here if you are interested:

Best wishes! (and please, sorry about my english... )

Hi my name is Roberto Zepeda, I live in Mexico city and I'm 33 years old.

Since I finished my studies of graphic design I just want to get into the sci-fi and fantasy illustration world. I am a Huge fan of Frank Frazetta, Boris Vallejo, HR Giger, Brom and Luis Royo. I admire the new digital masters as Darkeen, Dave Rapoza, Justin Sweet, JP Target and I just want to become as good as them.

I've studied traditional oil painting and In some cases I find easier to work in that media than working on a PC, but I recently purchased a CINTIQ 12WX and I'm very excited.

Of course the tools are important, but more important than that is the knowledge and hard work. Wheather you use a charcoal pencil or a Cintiq 24 HD, the principals and main concepts are all the same.

In a couple of days I will post my latest digital illustration and I ASK for your CRITIQUES AND COMMENTS. I think that every professional must listen carefully to other people's comments... it's like eating vegetables..... They are not so funny as an icecream but.... they are necessary.

Wel thanks for reading this and.... LET'S THE HAND BLEEDING BEGIIIIIIIIIIIN

Hey guys,
Stumbled on crimson daggers after reading a post from ctrl paint who spoked about Dave Rapoza's livestream. Lurked about an hour or so on crimson daggers, loved it, seems that there's a great community here. Love the spirit building up here.

So a few words about me: I am 27, from south of france, have been into comics and movies since more or less the age of four, I've made a couple art schools, some on drawing and comic books, others on movies (film editing), but I believe I'm the kind of person who just rather likes self-teaching and finding good individual teachers...

I dig drawing, painting (even if I suck at that, came here to improve!), storyboarding, comic-books/graphic novels, concept art, illustration, and filmmaking and movie editing. Am also having a shot a zbrush these days... Basically, telling a story with images.

Clumsy as I am, I don't have an online portfolio right now, (have a cghub account with like 4 drawings in it), so I'll make a new post asap in the request critique section with some stuff..
Hope I'll be able to keep up, there seems to be a hell lot of skilled persons here!

Cheers.

Hey guys, I've been lurking for a while and decided it's time to join the community more actively.
In hindsight, I probably should have started long ago, but it's better late than never. Hope to see everyone in the industry someday. Here are some of my work. Cheers!

My name is Aaron and i'm 15 and I am currently enrolled in my commercial art 2 class at school. I am extremely serious about my art and love very harsh feedback, I find its the best way to learn and having sugar coated critiques is useless. I want you to be straightforward on whats wrong so I can improve and to further my career. I got accepted into a summer pre-college program in Ringling for 4 weeks which I cannot wait for. 4 weeks in an art college setting is going to be a lot of work and enjoyable. I plan on going to Ringling college of Art and Design once I graduate and I will be majoring in game art and design. I love video games, just finished Dead Space 3 and Bioshock Infinite, and I play DayZ and LoL a lot, but I'm trying to cut back to further my studies. I would love to have a art buddy that we can help improve each others work on, I'm really down to earth and get along with pretty much everyone that is serious about their career/future. I also plan on reguarly updating my portfolio on here, though I work mainly digital. Thank you!

I've been here for a while, but I didn't introduce me *shame on me*.

Hey everybody. I'm Jhonny, 21 years old and Belgian.
I'm a big fan of digital painting, but for now I just keep it as a hobby. I always dreamt of becoming concept artist, but I'm not putting everything I've got in it (so by this I accually mean the risc of success and moving out with my girlfriend, stuff like that).

I was student at Digital arts & entertaiment Belgium, but I've noticed I learn faster myself and there's corruption, it's very expensive and not specific enough in my opinion. Anyway I hope to learn a lot on the forums from everybody and hope I can help myself when I'm getting better.

I think I'm painting for about 8 months now.
If anybody got some questions feel free to ask :)

regards

Hi to all Daggers! I'm Alonzo from Philippines, aspiring illustrator. I was wondering what is crimson dagger before because I have seen from fb friends some links and just visited the page and that is how I ended up here. As this is my first post and introduction to myself. I'll attach an artwork I've done weeks ago


Thanks everyone, I think I will hangout here oftenly.

Hey all,

I'm new here. Came from CA.O from hearing good things from Pychotime and Gangstershit whom I believe is Roal Duke on CA.O.
I also lurk around DeviantArt, however not as much lately as it's basically just pat on the back kinda crap and the forums aren't all that great.

I'm a freelance digital artist/animator, finished my studies last year and am currently undertaking a diploma of visual art alongside freelance work. Currently doing commercial graphic design and advertisements.

I plan on working in the film industry as a matte painter/animator/landscape artist/ modeller kinda guy.

Cheers,

Hey everyone ^^

I'm a 27 year old guy trying to become a digital manga artist. I spent a lot of time figuring out what I wanted to do but never seriously considered being an artist until last year. Even after I had a wacom tablet and was sketching every couple days I never considered that -I- could make a living doing art.

But Hoorah! Somehow I just decided to do it and 7 months later I've come a good ways. Somehow the road ahead keeps getting longer.. and longer.. but I think I'll make it :)

I'm really looking forward to being a part of a community like this and hope I can be a good member.

Cheers!
