trying to put my money where my mouth is daily here: http://www.livestream.com/djreader
try to go on at 9am gmt+8 for an hour or two, but it's been less that a week and i've already had to change the schedule twice. anyway, trying to get on everyday at least for a little bit and so far it's been a really great motivator!

i'll turn it on when i'm streaming and accept any adds. feel free to also add me on FB and twitter (links in signature)
I thought I should finally make an account here and start posting stuff, because I'm starting to take this art stuff very seriously.
So, a quick introduction. I'm 19 years old and live in Finland, Helsinki. I've always liked drawing, but it wasn't until I turned 18 that I started taking it more seriously. After I realized this is definitely the thing I want to do, I bought myself a Wacom Intuos4 and started experimenting with digital stuff. Now the first year for me was all about exploring and getting to know this world I'm about to enter. I discovered a lot of great artists and learned a lot about myself, drawing and stuff in general. I also improved a lot, but not as much as I could have. I don't think I wasted time or anything though, because a lot of the stuff I discovered during that first year of exploration has helped me go through some hard times. During that first year, I set up my mind to be ready for the failures and victories that were going to happen in the next several years.
So once a year had passed, I registered to conceptart.org and made a sketchbook. Since then I have been practising pretty hard and I have learned a LOT. At the start I didn't update the sketchbook as often as I should have, but now I update much more regurarly.
Anyway, it feels great to finally start posting stuff in here and I'm very eager to see what lies ahead on this wonderful journey of mine.
I've heard good buzz about this community and i'm looking to recieve some critiques, improve my art, network with other artists and just share in the love.
I hope to get to know you all and I hope you'll get to know me
I am am so happy to find this place! I found it by, ironically, through a controversial topic on CA.org. I did not join into the debate, but I saw a few people mention Crimson Daggers a few times and thought to find this place.
I study in illustration. I graduated in 2009 and I have been painting since. I enjoy painting dragons and other fantasy creatures. I have a quirky design style which does not always comply with reality.
It is my goal to keep improving. I would like to have a steady job in art at some point. I love concept art for games and films, but at the current rate of productivity and skill level I don't think I will be able to make it into this area.
I started drawing 3 years ago, wanting to become a concept artist but after seeing that I had no significant progress, I want to finally abandon this slacky lifestyle and take my art and to the next level. So finally today I had the courage to just click the register button, stop lurking and finally be here.
I hope to learn all sorts of stuff with you guys :) Please take care of me :)
My name is Jesse Suursoo, self-taught artist with the goal of becoming a good concept artist.
Despite following the Crimson Daggers for a while, but now I took courage and confidence after practice and more practice, to join me in the group and participate in the Blood Sports, I particularly think the maximum.
hello, my name is ghost59. I come from far far way in new York.
I am in training to become an concept artist/ anime animator/ graphic novel/ game developers.
I am working on an anime as well as a graphic novel scripts.
I have become awesome at prospective and now making more landscapes. :3 since it is something I am very interested like vehicles and monsters.
I am going to start to teach myself how to draw, starting from landscapes to vehicles.
then after I learn and master them. Ill learn the rest. :D cheers
I've been lurking around the forum for a while and figured it was about time I introduce myself. :-)
The name's Brodie. I'm an amateur, but I'm working to rectify this. I've not got any firm plans as to which industry I'll make a go of, but I adore illustration and industrial design especially. I hope to give as much to the community as it has already given me. If you see me around—whether it be on the forum or streams—say hi!
I've come to learn, help others and—perhaps most importantly—communicate. What brought you to this wonderful corner of the internet?
Hey there! I'm Gonzalo from Argentina, a 22 years old graphic design student, who want to become an a illustrator and a concept artist in a future. I am very curious to be here, but I want to learn as much as possible and hope to improve, and also to contribute in any way possible. I hope I've come to the right place.
Soon I'll be posting my sketchbook and personal works. Also my studies and misc. Meanwhile I leave the following links in case anyone wants to take a look:
been meaning to join CD for a long time now, watching the community grow from the sidelines on here and through friends on Facebook has made me really curious to have a look for myself. I'm Jordan, I'm 22 and I'm currently studying an MA in Concept Art at Teesside uni in England. I mainly love creating environmental pieces but I feel my work is still lacking that storytelling element that will really give it that kick up the rear it needs. I'm now also trying to look into the character art side as well, which is mostly why I'm here. I've been working as a freelance artist for a few years now on a few projects and I'm hoping beyond hope that I'll be good enough to get a good job in a studio sometime in the future!
