Hey! I'm 17 years old! I absolutely love concept art and illustration! I started drawing since I was 15! I want to learn and improve my drawings skills an eventually know how to paint! I look forward to meeting new people! See you guys around! :D

What's up everyone. My name is Bill Harkins and I'm a 26 year old artist from Pennsylvania, USA. You know how the story goes, drawing since I was 4, always playing video games and love film/entertainment stuff. I think heading into college I had a very short-sighted view that I needed to go to school for jobs in my area. I went into graphic design and advertising, and while I actually enjoyed the field, I knew I'll never be satisfied until I do what I really, really want to do - entertainment design/concept art.

So fast forward into my first graphic design job. Paid well, health insurance, very comfy work atmosphere. Only a crazy moron would quit that job. Me. At some point I decided I was going to save up a lot of money and give my dream of being a concept artist a shot. I think the exact moment was when I saw the work Kekai Kotaki was doing for GW2. Eventually, I got myself a bank roll and in March of 2012, I jumped off the proverbial cliff and quit my cushy job.

It has been tough, but I know that being a part of these types of communities helps. I have done a few small time game concept pieces as well as illustrations for books and CD albums, etc. Whatever I can do to keep afloat financially during the journey. Also looking forward to my first 'real-life' art community thing I'll be going to which is Illuxcon 6 this year in September.


Here's my portfolio: http://harkinsart.com. Feel free to play my flash game, but unfortunately I built it in CS2 and when I upgraded to CS6 it broke my Time and Score counters. I'll fix it eventually but for now, think of it like hardcore mode.

Going to Florida this week to take a break from the cold, I'll put together a Sketchbook thread when I get back.

Hi!

My name is Marc Simonetti, and I'm a freelancing 2D craftsman for something like 10 years now.

I'm French, which is the main reason my sentences may be weird, in the best cases.
Anyway, I'm always trying to put my bag on a friendly forum to take some time to talk about art and about what's all around.
I've done some cool commissions, working on some great books (for the cover arts), on some quite good video games ( doing some concept arts), and I've done also some tv ad, RPG, and some feature films related works.

Along the years I've polluted the web with quite some online unfinished portfolios, but you can see some of my works there:

And I've recently started working on commission "live" on livestream too...(trying the two livestream versions, still don't know which one I'm gonna use)

Well I think that's quite all.

Hello everyone. I'm another casualty of the CA clusterfuck (hmmm, I haven't seen anything in the rules regarding profanity so I'll leave this here as an experiment.)

I'm a video game production/concept artist. I'm currently in between jobs so I'm toying with different stuff (storyboarding/painting/writing.)

I'm looking forward to contributing to the forums here.

I thought I would pop by.
I'm Troy, I'm a freelance designer and illustrator and I work between LA and SF.

I'm having some academic and career issues that very well may relate to a lack of skill at this point. So without further ado, I'll start posting here as well to see if I can get real feedback rather than "I'm surprised you can't find a job".
Hopefully I can contribute to return the favor.

So I'm currently juggling 3D animation, 3D modelling, concept painting and yoga. These things pretty much leave me with no free time at all but I'm determined to finally put an end to my procrastination and make something of my art if nothing else.

I've been drawing since 2007 when I first discovered deviantart but posting there isn't pushing my artistic abilities. I have an obsession with drawing female anatomy which works surprisingly well on DA but it's not exactly making me a concept artist. I have now given up drawing pointlessly pretty girls and will start taking this concept art business seriously :P.

I was following Dave Rapoza and his Youtube tutorials since I started painting digitally in 2010 (drawing with traditional media my whole life), after a while I realize that he has the Crimson Daggers forum with Dan Warren and Dave and I enjoyed very much the Bloodsports the Critters and the Interviews (your work with this community guys are awesome)...but I didnt dare to enter the community, until now...
I hope to be up to the next challenge and improve, focus and meet new artists in the process.
Good luck to everyone!

I'm Ros Kovac, some of you might have seen me around on FB... or CGHub, dA or CGSociety...

A bit about me, I received fine arts education after high school, which served to nothing (okay, I learned basic drawing and talking bullshit like a pro). I've been doing freelance work for almost 2 years now (out of hunger not passion), and not long ago I decided to dedicate to more industry oriented projects. The change has been reaaally weird for me; I have many things to learn, so many things to improve, and in the process I've finally gotten in love with this. :blush:

I've been doing digital art for longer than that (since 2008), but I never got really involved with any art community to be honest, I'm generally oblivious and I was always like "ain't nobody got time fo dat", but I've been seeing all the amazing work you guys are doing, and I would love to be part of this.
