Hello there. Other artist friends and study buddies call me Rat. Been a member for a little while but haven't really posted until today. Started drawing seriously about a year ago or so. Hope we can get gud together.

Hey, just finished watching pretty much all of Dan and Dave's tag team videos and finished up their serious talk one and decided to join and not suck. I recently graduated from an Art Institute a couple of years ago and have been working at a tiny game studio for a couple of years since being their intern. The Art Institute was great, but for what I paid, my education was sort of...meh. So I've been trying to work on foundational skills along with working a full time job with occasional overtime. Been mostly doing 3d and I found that I really want to get better at creating high end cg illustrations. What kind of sucks though is I have no idea how to approach color, and my drawing skills can be refined....so I'm hoping to gain some awesome design sensibilities and solid foundational skills from Crimson Daggers. Watching the video, I felt like this community also cared about who I was as an individual. I've been struggling to find out more about what I want to do and what I love. Its hard because I've been so pushed to thinking a certain way, that I've wanted to just scream and pull my hair out. I've also been struggling to do personal stuff and get together a portfolio that showcases what I can do versus the stuff I've been doing at work, so I'm hoping with y'alls help I can become someone who is less afraid about going after what I really want out of life. I'm tired of being afraid, I want to be out there, I want to experience all the amazing things I know life is capable of. Thanks, and sorry to drag you all along for this journey, but my farts aren't that stinky...I promise.

And a picture because that's what this is all about:

Hi there,

Hello to everyone!
My name is Denver, from the Philippines. I am just learning to draw hope to find some references here and new ideas.

I am new here, and I've never heard of Crimson Daggers. I'm joining because I'm part of a mentor group called Silver Brushes and our mentor encouraged us to join and make an "Introduce yourself" post.

I only started drawing digitally about a month and a half ago and I'm trying to learn and absorb as much as I can. Here's my DeviantArt profile: http://alendiel.deviantart.com/gallery/

I'm excited to learn and be here. Thanks for reading :)

Well yes i read and heard soo much about crimson daggers and how people got better through this forums so why not try it out!?

Im a German guy who grew up in greece, studied in germany and now trys to get somewhere with his art, hopefully one day i will be a good concept artist....
Looking forward on getting started with this bloody crimson daggers!
Btw just contact me for any questions request you might have.

Greetings
