Hi all,

Decided to delurk and join in on the fun. Have recently started working on turning my dreams of being a pro artist into reality: I have a long study journey ahead of me first. I would love to eventually do a bit of everything: gallery exhibits, concept work, illustration. Hoping joining a group of like minded spirits who are ahead of me technically will assist in pulling up the bootstraps :)

Nice to meet you!

Hi everybody!


I'm ryanryan. I'm Australian and I like rap muzik. I'm getting back into doing heaps of studies like I should be, but I really need a forum like this to get motivated to do it though, because not everyone wants to hear me gripe about how my anatomy isn't coming along or how I can't get my perspective down.

Any way, how are you guys?

Hi - I'm new (obviously).

I've got a page over at DeviantArt http://knavesandknots.deviantart.com/ , thought I might share some art here too (looks like a great community) plus I'd love to have a chance to be involved in helmighs' portrait mentoring: http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-2499.html and whatever other mentoring opportunities I can find.Will start a sketchbook thread I think (I really need to spend more time sketching and studying).

Hope to see you around!

Knaves.

Hello there! Finally decided it was time I took art a lot more seriously in terms of what I'm actually doing in my day to day lifestyle and figured why not finally join Crimson Daggers. I first heard the name from when I would just go floating by livestream to see what drawing channels were on and honestly loved this sense of a community that was coming off it.

As far as details go I'm Jack, 18 from scotland and to say the least I've been on this journey of digital art since last January when I bothered to get a new replacement tablet pen, (yes I lost the first one after a few months...). But yeah apart from the psychobabble I'm still beginning my artist journey haha.

I post most of my work here but my DA is http://bawxart.deviantart.com which I hope to post more regularly.

But yeah, hoping to startup that sketchbook and finally get down to being a bit more disciplined about practice! And it's a pleasure to meet you guys :D

Ummm.. I'm so bad at this.

I've seen some Crimson Conversations and Bloodsport videos and it pretty much got me interested in this community.

Currently I'm working in a small Norwegian indie studio as a concept artist.

Ehhhh.. I really don't know what to say. There isn't really a community artists around where I live, so working alone all the time makes me sometime feel that I'm stagnating. Fellow artist input is something I currently don't get too much of..

What I'm hoping to get out of joining CD is to get to know new people, be inspired, and possibly some input here and there. And of course improve as an artist! :)

Hey Everybody!!

I'm a concept artist working in the browser games industrie. But I hope i wont
stick there forever and will face bigger challenges in future. And to get there
i really really want to improve and improve together with other artist to reach higher grounds!!!
Yay. Let's doo this!

well, I'm 16 years old so if anyone is my age...lets be friends! haha. Looking forward for classes, mentors, practice and more practice :)

Hi everybody! My name is Johan and I'm 23 years old. I've been drawing cartoons, comics and funny animals since I was a kid but I've never really paid any attention to art fundamentals.

Last year I decided to shape up and I've been keeping a sketchbook at CGHub and conceptart.org since October, but decided to leave CA and create a user account here instead. I didn't start one here right away because I thought I wasn't good enough. Which is really a stupid mindset.

I'm looking forward to be part of this community :)

Hi, guys. Thought I'd make a quick post to introduce myself.

This is difficult because I am a lurker by nature; I've never actively participated in an online forum before. But my goal is to try to improve with the help of other committed artists--I think that might be you guys. So here goes:

I work as a graphic designer/illustrator in the publishing industry (cheesy paranormal romance covers, anyone?) but I'd like to improve my draftmanship. And play with concept art a little bit. That's it! You game?

Here goes the obligatory introduction.

I'd like to state that unlike many people here, I'm a person who does art purely for non-professional exploits, ie - hobby. But unlike many people elsewhere, I treat it very seriously, because in my opinion, something being done for the sake of doing it shouldn't be of mediocre quality.

I'm a hobbyist devoted to constant improvement of my skill, and I've set the bar for myself of an industrial standard, so, by the recommendation of a good friend - and a professional at that - I've decided to seek out new ways of improvement through Crimson Daggers.

My main profession is IT and tech journalism, I'm a news reporter and a reviewer. I'm 27 years old, Russian, served in the army and was discharged in mid-00s. I'm big technology, science fiction and movie enthusiast.

In art I prefer concept character art, practical design and fine art. Also, I should confess, that I'm big on fanart for various sci-fi and horror settings and games.

I'd love to strengthen many of my weak points, such as environment conceptualization, usage of perspective and scene building.

Concerning Crimson Daggers, I'm mostly looking forward to challenges, a sketchbook establishment and working with a partner. Hope it works out - no, I'm sure it would.
