hello!
(hmph... why starting an introduction post always have to be so difficult? >.<) so my name's Adrianna, but you can call me by my forum nickname. well, I'm not fond of using forum pages, I never stayed in ones I'd joined for longer period of time (but now I'll try to change that habit of mine).
I've been an artist since I remember. in my early teens, I wanted so bad to be an illustrator, but as more as my love for video games was growing, I decided to pursue the life-long dream of becoming a concept/character artist for some big game dev studio (still kinda doubt it would ever happen ;/)
I heard that CD is a good place for all artists who seek for an improvement of their skills, so I've joined as well. mostly because for few years I feel like my skills haven't improved at all. what makes me really sad, because I'm 22 now, and there are many artists of my age (or younger ones! O_O) who are far beyond better than I am :C in moments like this, I want to quit my life as an artist and start doing something "useful" for society.
so I am here, looking for some help, critique, improvement, because I love art, I feel like an artist through and through, I want to make my dreams come true, and befriend people who will inspire and help me (oh yeah, I struggle so bad with my laziness, so occasional "kick in the ass" as a motivator would be nice ;P)

Hello everyone! I just joined up with the hopes that I can create some kind of accountability and camaraderie through this forum. Basically I wish I were drawing every day all the time, but self discipline is hard, and I often spend too much time on Netflix or whatever instead of honing my skills.

You can look over my current work here if you like: http://suzydraws.tumblr.com/

My plan is to lurk around for a few weeks, and then hopefully be inspired by this hopefully awesome community, and hopefully get over my weird fear of internet forums, and then hopefully build some lifelong friendships, and hopefully become a top-rate artist/illustrator.
So here's to taking the first step!

By the way, I discovered this site from this pretty cool article: Don't go to art school

Hi my name is Dan Robinett and I'm trying to break into the Concept Art/Freelance Illustration biz. I've got a Bachelor's in Fine Art but that really hasn't helped much with my dream job.. So I'm still bar tending until my portfolio is good enough to start landing me some sweet jobs.

You can check out my website at www.DROBINETT.com

Whats up bros!:) My name is Alyssa.:D I'm from Texas.
I'm working on being an Artist/Game Designer, though my parents probably disagree on that idea.

I've never used this before, besides stuff like Deviantart (or twitter, tumblr, etc.) . But besides that I don't put my art out there too much... I don't know how to upload my art on here so much, but i'll figure it out. I usually work on my art for about more than half of the day. and that's pretty much bad because of me having school and stuff.

Well, Thank you! And I hope you like my work.:)

Hey Crimson daggerds and daggettes! Im Najmul Osmani, have heard of the crimson dagger crew for a long time but havent managed to subscribe or get involves.. THATS ALL BOUT TO CHANGE NOW!! gonna get as active as i can, heard the community here are the bes knees :P

Hi there guys and girls, my name is Robbie and I'm an aspiring concept artist. I started to seriously get into art around June this year after trying graphic design and finding it too limiting. I'm self taught and spend most of my time focused on my artwork, I really hope to be a professional within a few years and maybe even make it big some day!
I heard about Crimson Daggers through a Sycra video I watched recently, it seems the perfect place to find a real peer group to help me improve and give me feedback so I can't wait to get involved!

Please give my work a look over, my tumblr/website is: www.liquidstatedreams.tumblr.com

I look forward to making new friends, improving my skills and helping out in any way I can!

Hi there, my name is Max, 18 years old and i'm from the Netherlands.
Im working hard to become a concept artist/illustrator, and am in my second year studying game-art at GLR.

Some of you might have seen me before on the CD Skype chats or some livestreams~ but i've finally decided to join the forum because it seems fun :P

Though i probably won't be as active as i'd like to be beside the sketchbook i'm about to make because i'm still in school and have to travel 3 hours a day for it. but because of those 3 hours, there will be lots of sketches ;D

My sketchbook: http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-4269.html
I need critique so badly!!! so please don't go easy on me!

Hey there everyone! My names Russel Gomez, I'm a 23 year old aspiring to become a concept artist and character designer. I currently reside in Canada and I've been working as "sketch artist" in a very small indie dev over the past year after graduation from college with a 3D major. My deviant art is here and my personal website is here (mostly webdesign and 3D stuff here). Looking forward to becoming a part of this community, cheers!

Hey guys,

I'm Charlie, 22, a graphic designer turned illustrator living in Australia. Graphic design's a pretty cool guy, but art's my real passion. I quit my GD job recently to do it on a freelance basis so I can spend more time pursuing my art career. In a couple years time I want digital art to be my bread-earner. If I can get good enough, being a concept artist one day would be pretty dope.

Let's become art friends! I want to buddy up with people who are as dumb/stubborn/blindly-in-love-with-art as I am, so we can bang our heads against a brick wall together. Would love to Skype and talk nonsense while pushing pixels into the early hours of the night.

Below is a sample of some of my old work.I'm looking to weed out my fanart of stiffly posed babes and boring static portraits with original, thought-inspiring work. The purple bear is Pencilbear, my little monster. Expect to see more of this original character as I develop the project further ;)

I still have a long way to go, but I look forward to improving with you all here on Daggers!
