hi people!!
i found out about crimson daggers through dave's youtube channel
at first i didn't pay much attention and was only interested in streams but i visited this forum today. and now i know this place is serious business!!

so im Altaf / Xcarbon
i work full time but i've always wanted to be a concept artist!
i have a really awesome job because in middle of work i can whip out some papers and a pencil and start drawing and no one says anything!!

so i realized that i wasnt being REALLY serious about art nearly about a year ago when i had an awakening!! and since then ive been working hard to improve myself and been drawing every single day !!
my primary motive to come here is to find people that i can talk and connect with as an artist!
help me improve and i'll do the same for you and others!!

Hello!

My name is Ingvild, I'm a 19 year old IT student from Oslo, Norway.
I've recently submitted an application to the Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark and hope to be admitted there this fall. I have a passion for art and am planning to publish my sketchbook here in the future. I'm hoping for some critique on my work as I always strive to be better at what I love :>

Cheers!

Hi. I'm Sandra.

I started studying game design in 2008 with the goal to become a 2d artist. But in our study we only could choose between 3d art and programming and so I went for programming because I'm not really into 3d. Therefor I got kinda distracted and after I graduated in 2011 I went for a job as developer. But soon after I realized that I wanted to go back to art. It was a tough decision. As developer I would have been financial secure. But yeah, I jumped into the cold water and started over in the beginning of 2012.

Last year I had my first internship as 2d concept artist in a local games company here in Berlin and currently I have my first little freelance job, where I do all assets for a 2d side scroller game for an independent developer from New York.

Despite that I'm still a newbie. There is so much I have to learn and I hope that it will be lot of fun with you guys. This community seems to be really great and I'm looking forward to being a part of it.


Thanks for reading!

Hello!
I'm ebi from the Netherlands!

I picked up drawing 2 years ago, but due to a pretty bad case of RSI (5 years and counting) only really got into it last October. It's a lot better now, but I still have to be careful.

I'm an engineering student (wtf was I thinking XD) and during themes where the programming is heavy my RSI tends to flare up. So during those times, I usually have to stop drawing or risk a slew of sleepless nights from pain:/.

I try to draw as much as I can afford to, but it's a slow journey for me.

My guilty pleasure is to think maybe one day I can become good enough to be an illustrator or some such thing....
But my current realistic goal is to just enjoy drawing whilst slowly improving and to get over my fear of drawing in "the wild" before Summer.

I'm still a beginner, but I hope there'll be a place for me here :)
This community looks really interesting. I still have a lot to figure out though...
I read about live streams, groups, partners, studie thingies....

In any case, I'll pitch up a sketchbook in the SB section and hang out there for now, but I hope one day to have the confidence to join a sketch group or find a partner.

Thanks for reading!

Hey everyone,

I'm an animator and illustrator from the UK. I've mainly worked on children's preschool shows for the BBC etc. so this is a good place to vent my darker side :) Most of my stuff is mainly cartoony and character based so I want to try and improve on a lot of the other aspects that I haven't been able to concentrate on.

I also have a little company, we design and make board games and we've just had our first one picked up by a publisher!

Hi,

I finally take courage to register here and give it a try :)
My name is Aurore, I'm french and english speaking forums are a bite intimidating for me, my english is not very good but at least I understand pretty all you can say to me !

I came here cause I wanted to try the Bloodsport#13, the subject is very exciting ! Then i decide to join in and begin my journey on Crimson Daggers.
I will probably take part in the other sections, post my studies, this type of things ..

Cheers

Hi, my name is Christoffer Nilsson, 27 years old from Sweden.
I have been studying all kinds of artforms over a course of about 6 years, but i have never pushed myself to get really good, even though it is what i want to do, it has more been about the will to learn more than the will to be great, until now.
Now i want to just focus on drawing and that is what brings me here, this forum seems really nice and friendly and a great source of help and inspiration.
I just got my first tablet a few days ago so im super new to the whole digital art thing, so i can definetly use some pointers. Im going to post some of my digital sketches in a sketchbook so you guys can look at them. Thanks for now. :D
