Hey Daggers !

I'm Cyril, 25 years old french dude.
I came here in order to improve myself by being surrounded by all you talented people.

Hope we'll make great things together.

Hello everyone! I have been lurking here for a little while leering at all the sexy posts from a distance. Today I thought I would introduce myself. I am very curious, excited and a little terrified to be here - I am sure it will all turn out well and hopefully I can participate in some hang outs, shoot the breeze, conjure up new flava for my art and.... not annoy anyone to death.

Here's my FB profile ( the arty one, not the personal one )http://www.facebook.com/CaroliineVos

And here is my website www.carolinevos.com

Hoping to learn/beg/borrow some tips for making better art.

Hi everyone,

First of all, sorry if I make some faults in English, I'm a french CG student in Paris.
It's been few month (maybe years) that I discovered this forum and since I visited it few times but, because of my level I was too shy to register and introduce myself.
But your "bloodsports" and contests seams so cool that I want to be part of it.

So here I am ! :D ("hellooo")

To see some of my work, you can go here : http://kupunn.deviantart.com/gallery/
or there (my portfolio) : http://kupun.carbonmade.com/

Here few works uploaded






I hope I will improve a lot thanks to you.
Have a great week (and more !)

Cyril / Kupun

Hello all! new to the forum so i figure an introduction is in order. My name is Ian, Im 22 and living in Los Angeles, currently attending the 3 year program at Gnomon School of Visual Effects, Hoping to get somewhere in the video game industry but my heart is more in concept art and illustration, I have drawn/doodled my whole life but it wasnt till i started gnomon that i really understood what being a concept artist was so i have been buckling down and trying to paint as much as i can, im Sure i have tons to learn from all of you and i cant wait to get into this.

my blog:

I also wanted to start a google hangout group of painters so anyone interested let me know! always have fun watching my fav. artists hangout and shoot the shit while they paint and i love that atmosphere and i want to see it happen with all artists, not just the ones who can support the viewers.

Well thats about it, back to painting. :D

Hit a wall in my progress lately, and I was hoping you fine folks could help. It seems like everyone here is pretty serious about getting better, so I thought I'd try posting some stuff.

By the way, is there a faq or anything on posting images? I feel dumb for even asking, but I tried posting something just as a test run and I couldn't get it to show properly. Any tips?

Hey there. My name is Jim. I've got a friend or two here and have been meaning to join and I finally did. Looking forward to doing some art and getting better.

I'm Damien Saelak and I like to party. jk I'm an obviously new here! I joined to "feel less alone" haha (like it says on the front page)

When i first heard of this community I didn't know that it was an online community with sharing artists. I thought it was an online coarse or some sort of online training school where you had to pay, kinda like schoolism or something. So i never bothered in checking it out cus quite honestly I'm broke haha

I'm currently 23, a college drop out (may go back) and I'm trying to go pro with my art like everyone else on these threads. Anyways I think its awesome how this is a learning environment with working professionals, and even more awesome that information is free! So Sweeet!!! So please accept meeee haha

Also Ive kinda been in a slump ever since I had to move back home with my mother :\ I've been less productive/motivated this year, but I'm determined to turn my life around and become what I origially set out to be. And when surrounded by others on the same quest is way more motivating than sitting around looking at awesome paintings and wondering what it must be like to paint so well. I need to make this dream a reality, so thanks to everyone and I'll try to participate as best I can!

If you like my work and think I'd do well in a certain illustraion feild PLEASE TELL ME!! I'm trying power level my art to get on my feet.

you can check out my work at damiensaelak.deviantart.com or facebook

Thanks for reading! Have a good day!

Hey guys, I heard of CD at polycount. I've been a 3d artist in games for a long time, I want to get better at concept art and more traditional skills in general. This seems to be the place to do that.

Looking forward to working on some arts here and learning.

Thanks!

Here's some of my stuff:



Dreamers1
Dreamers2

I came from Myrmirada's Livestream and met a bunch of people whom as a result got me here. Anyways, I'm most active in deviantART therefore found-able as XaVarK @dA despite my lack of artworks...

Will be making a sketchbook soon so... look forward to it, i guess..?

I'm not really much of an anime/ manga person but since my friends had me draw this, I'll use it as part of my intro.

My name is Adam Vehige. My last name is pronounced like this ( Vague + E) everyone get's it wrong the first time. I'm a 36 year old freelance concept illustrator working from my home studio since 2005. I am here like most of you are, to get better! I've reached a plateau in my skills and need to take my art to the next level. Let's help each other become beautiful people!

Please feel free to check out my gallery in the links of my signature to get a better idea of where I'm currently at with my art. Some areas I need to work on include: overall fundamentals, form, edge control, depth, concept development, color, sophistication, realism, etc. etc. In my life I'm looking to get healthier, more motivated so I may do some Gyms'n Daggers shit...this lifestyle has definitely turned into a Gollum like existence "we forgets the taste of bread..." I'm looking to make some friends and contacts so please feel free to message me. I look forward to meeting you and participating in the future!

Cheers,
Adam

P.S. I'm attending the Gnomon Live workshop at the end of this month. If you are going and want to meet up let me know.
