Just found this site today via going to a livestream of one of the artists from here.

I'm not technically starting out from nothing, but I also am not anymore learned than someone starting out. I do well following other people's works to an extent, but this year I've started being more serious and working a lot of hours into doing studies without guidance, and I have a looooot to learn.

Anyway, you guys seem cool from what I've seen so far, so hopefully talk to you all soon.

Hey there.
My name is Todor Hristov. Im 29 years old concept artist and illustrator from Bulgaria.
Ive been workin in this sphere from around 1 and half years. But in general i've studeid arts my whole live(highschool and university), and i have been workin as an art teacher and graphic designer after i've graduated.
Generaly bein a concept artist in my country seemed like some distant fantasy and the whole crysis situation we got here last 20years made it even worst. Thats why... ppl with some art education and talent generaly went in to graphic/industrial design professions. Trying to make a leaving selling fine art originals also is almost impossible...even now.
But even tho around 3 years ago i decided to improove my art skills.. generaly my drawings. And thats traditional drawings with pencils. After 1 year i've got a job offer to work for a small web/app game dev studio, wich noticed my uploads in cg hub. The payment was bad but... sein an opportunity to work something ive allways dream of, this was the right way to go.
So there.. like 1 and half years ago first touched graphic tablet.
I guess i've got the hang of it pretty quick and now i work for better company and we are soon about to announce our future game project of wich im the main concept artist.

Joining this forum because i realy enjoying bein a part of the art community,love Dave Rapoza and Dan Warren's work, watched all the videos in youtube, ... and im still having a loooots to learn so i hope ill get some help, and maybe ill be able to help others.

Also love that you got Gym's and daggers subforum :D (im training from almost 6 years now)

Hello, Dragon here.

I came about this sight through a Google search, actually. I was looking for a random creature generator, and the search brought me here. Then I got curious and looked around...and thought, "Hey! I kinda like this place, I'm gonna join~!"

Anyways...I enjoy drawing, even though I don't have a wacom or any of those things. I don't even have a mouse, I use a laptop touchpad

I hope to find some inspiration here...and perhaps some new friends as well.

I'm Babs. I'm a digital artist working in a small mobile game and media company. I'm still new to art at a professional level and I'm here to just soak up all I can as well as help in any little way I can. So many guys out there have provided the resources that have gotten me to a place where I can get hired and do this full time. I just hope I can give back the same way. This is the first forum I'm active in and I'm a bit unsure of how it goes.

I guess that's it for now.

hey! i'm elmhoax, i'm a 19 year old student currently studying illustration. I generally work with gouache and watercolor, and some occasional digital work. Currently i'm in a weird style phase with my digital shit; i guess I'm trying to figure out my style and method of working... digital comes much less naturally to me than traditional! so that's one of the main reasons why I joined. But I mean, of course I want to improve in all areas! I'd really appreciate any and all criticisms on my work. LAY DOSE HARSH CRITS ON ME MAN, I CAN TAKE IT.

above is some recent work... there's more on my tumblr !!!!!

anyway, hope to see you around! let's be friends!

As the tittle itself says: HELLOOO!

I'm Vana and I come from Croatia, and how did I get here?
Well, a dear friend of mine recommended the site, so here's the new member!

I hope to gain new friendships among existing members and to progress even faster. I exist in this world for 50 days: I "digitize" since last Christmas when I got my pen tablet Dermot (yeah... I like to name my stuff) as a gift. (Thank you Santa!! ^.^)

Every positive comment and every smart critique of my work is absolutely the thing I'm looking for. So please help me on this road to success and with struggle against this monstrous brushes and dangerous challenges!

And as I ran out of ideas what next to say, I salute you and wish you a nice day! ^.^

Please be my friend! :3
Arigatooo!

Hello everyone! I just registered..

hi just new on site just want to say hi

Hi,

My name is Yulian. I am an illustrator and graphic designer.

I'm still new in digital painting. Usually I draw with pencil or pen and color my illustration digitally. About a year ago, I started to be interested in digital painting, and tried to paint digitally. I have to admit that the result was not good. So here I am, would like to improve my skills by joining this forum. It looks like this forum is a great place to learn.

Nice to meet you all. Looking forward to know you, and hope we can learn together! :)
