Hello, daggerborn!
My name is Matthew Lewis (my mother's maiden name is Long), I live in Hong Kong (I'm British) and teach drawing and painting right now. I studied Illustration BA and Visual Communication FdA. They where strictly theoretical courses and we could use pretty much any medium we chose to communicate our ideas. I want to improve in all areas related to Entertainment Design and Illustration but mainly focus on Characters, Creatures and Environments (with vehicle, architecture and industrial design in there too).

I'm seriously here to learn and improve. I've a long ways to go but I cannot imagine not drawing for a living and I need to get to a level I'm happy with before I try to get work. I look forward to being a part of this community and seeing everyone grow, improve and hopefully break into whatever field we aspire to work in.

Well I'm a pretty big fan of Dave and found this lil awesome
Forum so I decided to join! Been browsin around and It looks coolios.


Hopin to get better at art from watching him draw and learning some of his stuff!


Also heres my Deviantart!

hi im hungry:)

Sup. My name is Sindre Opsahl Skaare. I'm a Norwegian 3D artist currently studying at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, going through my last year before I'm thrown into the terrifying pandemonium that is the games industry.

While I can draw and kinda paint I'm mainly a 3D modeler and texture artist. I get the vibe that this is mostly a 2D art community, but I feel that there is so much overlap that I will have plenty to learn here anyway. I'm pretty confident about my technical skills within 3D and my main shortcomings are design and aesthetics so hopefully that will work out anyway. :)

I found this place through Rapoza's livestream, and I found his livestream through the interview with Kemp Remilliard, which I found through Facebook. Ah the magic of social networks. :heart:

And while I'm very uncomfortable with bragging and whatnot I guess I should put this out here. I recently did an internship at Massive Black for a little over half a year. I worked as a 3D artist on the MothHead demo they did with Unity. That was one intense and inspiring run and I learned a ton (it was my first time doing current gen 3D art) as well as finally managing to kindle that motivation and work ethic that borders on obsession and will likely earn me an early heart attack. A small price to pay for good art I'd say.

I'm currently taking an organic modeling class where we're supposed to do one 3D model a day. So expect to see plenty of anatomy studies and random zBrush sculpts crop up around here.

Hey everyone,
My name is Jon Saunders, I'm a director and designer at an animation studio in New York. I've had an itch for the past year to buckle down and work on my foundations more, especially anatomy, color and composition, and I've been doing a little but not nearly enough. I want to create more personal illustrations and just simply get better at painting. I was reading imaginefx and came across the Dave's response to the question of goals for 2012, which has been incredibly inspiring. So here I am, ready to set aside time everyday to work on these goals.


professional work
personal work

Aloha Daggers!
My name is Paul ( Paweł) - I'm old journalist from Poland tryin' to learn how to draw :D Cheers!

Hey, my name is Mick Scott, and I want to draw for a living.
I'm 16, and when I grow up I want to work on stuff like D&D, Pathfinder, and Magic because I play all those things! My plan is to draw every day until I get there. My favorite artists are Wayne Reynolds, Prometheus|ANJ, Clement Sauve, and Marko Djurdjevic. My largest inspirations are Algenpfleger and Robogabo and Dave Rapoza. I'm in my first year of college.
I'm not setting any real deathline goals, but by summer of 2013 I really want to be done with college and high school, begin my search for work, and most importantly I want to have a comfortable understanding of perspective, anatomy, color, and value. I've been posting every day for a month now on CA and I want to keep that up for the next year as well.

Hi everyone. I'm Luana Tavares, from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. I've been studying design latelly, but I've developed an interest in concept art. Where I live there are not so many classes that satisfy what a concept artist needs to learn, so a friend of mine introduced me to Crimson Daggers, and I hope I can learn a lot here! =D

Hello Daggers!

Well, I'm Saraiza, real first name Veronika, and I am a student from Germany.
I try to get into illustration/ concept art.
Unfortunately I only started taking art seriously a few years ago, so I still have lots to learn.

At the moment I try to built a portfolio to get into art school/university. Second try. -_-.

If you want to look at some of my works, here is my horrid deviantArt gallery: www.saraiza.deviantart.com.
But be warned, the stuff there is really bad. Also lots of photographs.

So well, here I am, trying to push my art skills.
Bye, I'm off practising :)
