I'm sixstyle. I just found out about this site. Seems pretty cool so far... Look forward to working/learning with some of you.

Hello.

I've been thinking of joining the daggers for a looooong time but never got to do it. Until now.

My name is Alejandro García, although I usually go by Alex or by toramarusama. I am a spanish freelance artist that really needs to get better to get more jobs. And that's ther main reason I've finally joined, because I really want to get better and I've seen some of the daggers grow a lot since the beginnings. I've always lacked the will to work as hard as is needed to get to work in the artistic field, although it has always been my goal. I hope that being here push me enough to work harder and get where I want to be.

So that's it. Hope to enjoy being here.

Hey folks, finally getting around to joining up here, looking to get involved in some art creation!

hi everyone,

i present myself Jeffrey aka MrPiK, i draw for many years but i've wasted too much time practicing wrong things. Now i'm ready to work hard from the basics and share my art with you ;)

Hi there, daggers! Me name is Max, I'm here to explore the new cool ways to draw. Above all I really do love concept art, though illustration is pretty damn awesome too. There is hope i'll post some pics soon, so nice to meet ye, people!

Hi everybody, I do want to improve my skills as an illustrator and concept artist, so that's why I'm here. I've bumped into this community not so long ago, but already got excited by its challenges (such as bloodsports for example). Hope it's gona be fun.

Hai!
My name is Meonah and I was referred to this site by some painter guys i know that I stalk just shy of obsessively. When I asked where to go to learn they sent me here.
I am a digital artist just starting to come into my own.
I have never done art for money, it has always been more of a hobby. But I want more, I want to get better so with the help if these painters i stalk they have given me a plethora of resources I can use I have implemented.
I don't expect to get better without hard work and practice, and that is why I am here, to learn ^.^
If anyone has some good Ebooks to read on art wether traditional or digital please let me know. Or if you have tips I'd like to know those as well!
Right now I am trying to conquer scenery. I am trying to do a painting with trees and foliage, but i cant seem to grasp how to get the tree foliage to look right. A fan brush seems to work great for fuzzy foliage like ferns and what not, but it makes trees and other foliage look funny.
I'm just getting the hang of painting textures with different brushes (talking photoshop here id make a terrible mess with traditional media im sure of it haha). I have watched some traditional painting tutorials to find out how THEY tackle foliage and I am enlightened a bit, but i need more knowledge!
Not just with trees, but all sorts of scenery!
And hey, why stop there, anything else for that matter would be great.
Anyone taking apprentices? haha!

I really admire all the talented people that can turn out master pieces in a matter of hours, and I hope to meet and speak with a good percentage of them at least!
I am here to improve and to perhaps makes friends and network, so don't be shy and send a message my way! ^.^

My name is Timm and i´m from Germany.

Looking foreward to learn from you guys!

Hey everybody new to the daggers but looking forward to making better art with you guys

I'm 16, from Norway and have just recently started the fun and difficult journey of digital painting after about a year of serious traditonal drawing. Looking for tutorials and other people sharing the same interest I stumbled over this place, which seems like a perfect place to start.
I'm looking forward to participate in the forums, competitions and hopefully improve my skills a lot.
