Hi, everyone! Found out about CrimsonDaggers when a friend of mine told me about Bloodsports 13, and I said: "Hey, what the heck! I need the practice, since I'm having trouble keeping myself working." So that's how I found this awesome community!
I'm 22, from Romania. I'm in my final year of The Arts University. It's always been my dream to work in the concept art and illustration industry, but going to school kinda kept me from that road (they don't really encourage this industry that much) so I kinda discovered my artistic side, fell in love with urban art, experimental comics and contemporary art. So now, I'm in my final term and I have to finish my diploma thesis and the afferent artwork, and I'm just hanging around CrimsonDaggers forum, slacking from my atelier work, going back on the road I left behind 4 years ago: concept art.

Hi there. Well, first of all I want to thank Dave and Den for great interviews and of course for this web site(or to whoever is behind it) trough which I can share my work with all you beautiful and talented people. As for me, my name is Nenad Gojkovic and I'm 25 years old self-taught concept artist from Serbia, Belgrade. Currently, I'm quite good at weapons/props design, but my ambitions don't stop there. I want to learn and be good at everything else - vehicles, air crafts, creatures, etc. It's gonna take some time of course, until I master all those things but I'm patient and working really hard to achieve that goal. Hope to make it.

Would appreciate your thoughts on my works presented so far in the finished section. Thanks in advance and see you around!

Hello everyone!

I'm 26 years old, living in New York, and started taking art seriously almost one year ago. Just like everyone here I want to start working in the concept art/illustration industry. Within the next two years, I hope to be making a living doing what I love. Here is my (now abandoned) sketchbook from conceptart.org so you can take a look at my previous work.

I finally decided to stop lurking and start participating in this amazing community of artists. It's great how studies and hard work are stressed in this community and how the members all strive to encapsulate those qualities into themselves and their workflow! I also LOVE how this place is much more close-knit and free of elitism compared to other forums.

I will be getting out of my shell and start participating in this the challenges, sketchbooks, and livestreams so I will be seeing you guys in the near future!

Hey everyone,

Joined up to enter the new bloodsports and get more involved here.

On a personal art journey to acheive my dreams, I'm sure most of you can relate :)

Hello, I'm Abraham from Mexico city, 23 years old. Recently finishing my degree on Interactive Design, but looking to improve my drawing skills since I'm not too good. I found this community by watching some livestreams and one place took me to another and so on, so here I am, hehehe. Hope I can get to chat with some of you guys and get some reviews of my work as well. Also, feel free to ask me to review your work, I'm no expert at drawing, but I can recognize when something is not looking good. (sadly I can recognize easily the bad things of my work sometimes).

Cheers!,

Abraham

PD: Sorry if my spelling/grammar isn't the best, I'm not used to write in English.

Hello everyone. I'd like to introduce myself to this board. My name is Eric and I'm a big-time procrastinator when it comes to creating art on my computer. I am intrigued and very much interested in the C&D partnership program to help give me a jumpstart with Photoshop.

I realize, of course, that many will be wanting to see what type of artistic skill I possess before requesting a partnership with me, so I will be uploading some sketches of my work very soon.

Speaking of my artistic background, I have a few years of experience taking general college-level art classes like introduction to drawing, oil painting, design, life drawing courses, and artistic anatomy. In fact, my primary focus in art is artistic anatomy including drawings and paintings. That is where my real strength lies but I have a long way to go before I can be satisfied with my level of skill. That is why I would like to partner up with someone here on this site to push myself to produce a greater volume of work than I have in the past. I am probably the laziest artist that I know of and I need your support!

So hopefully, in the coming days, I will be uploading quite a few quick drawing studies in the "Sketchbook" thread on this board. Thank you for taking the time to read this message.
