Hey Daggers, you amazing group of people.

I'm Chris Szczesiul, but you may know me as Zesiul. I'm like you, a hard worker with something to work for. I consider myself an Illustrator and Concept Artist because those are the things I enjoy drawing the most. I want to bring something new to this place, and so I'm applying myself every day to see where I can go, no limits. Keep on doing this magic you're doing Daggers. It's what gets me up in the morning.

Hey everyone, my name's Randall and I'm an unlikely graphic designer that loves all things art, but hasn't been able to draw for the entirety of my career/life. I was resigned to believe that drawing just wasn't going to be one of my skills...

Until I found this place.

Thanks to Dan and Dave's verbal kicks in the ass, I'm on my way to adding drawing/painting/conceptualizing to my skill set and I can't tell you how excited I am for that. It's like a crippled man learning to walk.

Looking forward to learning with all of you.

To Dan and Dave: At the risk of sounding absolutely butt-kissy, I just want to say how absolutely fantastic it is that you guys are doing the streamings, the blood sports, and sharing your industry refined experience and knowledge to us masses.

You guys are awesome. Thanks so much!

Alright, I'm done butt kissin'.

hello you sexy daggers. i love you all. you motivate me to put down my playstation controller and to furiously make art. im glad there is now a forum where everyone can interact on a strictly dagger based level, and avoid all the tourists and ding dongs that accompany alot of other forums. so im happy to be here, NOW LETS MAKE PEOPLE CRY WITH OUR DEVEOPING SKILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, I'm from Jersey...Been doing art since I was a baby, I do comics, murals, illustration, animation. I'm not that new to coloring in Photoshop, but I'm just trying to learn new techniques. Check my shit in my sig.

Hello to all users, both noobs and Vets. My name is Andrew Glassman, I am a digital Illustrator and I am very excited to be finally joining this forum. I've been watching on livestream for a couple months now. I can personally say that when I have been discouraged or unmotivated to push myself, creatively and otherwise, knowing that there is an online community of like-minded artists has always inspired me to put the nib to the wacom and power through.

Thanks Dave and Dan, you guys are great!

Howdy! So, I'm super psyched that dave and dan have put this forum together, which will hopefully create a more unified group effort. Anyways, my name is Corey, as the nick suggests, and I am a 28 year old art educator. I teach both traditional and digital media on a secondary level, aka high school. Currently, I am in my second year of teaching....it's interesting to say the least. I am a happily married man with two little ones, Harper (4 years) and Nico (4 months). Hopefully this will be the beginning of great things for everyone involved, see you on the boards.

Hello everyone, I´m Pedro Covo an illustrator from Colombia, trying to make a living and learn some new things everyday, this is an amazing space to share problems and ideas, so thank you dave and dan for the initiative, if you want to see some of my updated portfolio check out my flickr and leave som good feedback, thank you all very much and have a nice day.

Hi, my name is David Fisher and im a Crimson Dagger. Ive been following the streams since Dave started a while ago and I love the methodology of hard work and commitment, which is what kept me coming back for more every stream. Ive been drawing for years but haven't really gotten serious about it until a couple months ago.Super pumped to see, share and grow as a community and watch my art skills (as weak as they are) grow into something beautiful and golden! As always happy studies everyone, LETS GOOO!!

Hey Daggers. My name is Tom Mahon, from the UK and I'm 17. I'm aspiring to be a concept artist and illustrator like most people here. After discovering Dan and Dave and the community I've been inspired and motivated to start taking studying seriously. I plan on taking a year and getting a job and saving up for an atelier, spesifically the one in Stockholm. During the year I will study as much as possible when I'm not working. I feel once I finish the atelier and apply the skills I'll learn there to my concept art I'll be (hopefully) decent enough to support myself with art. I know plans like these are somewhat optimistic but I think it sounds reasonable. Thanks for reading, I'll be posting my studies and art here soon.
