Hi guys I'm
Blepleb

I really like deltarune and other things and I draw too and that includes my OC's and the other things
and yeah, so, yeah. I'm Blepleb! I'm Blepleb I'm

Oh and I also like YTP's, which may (or may not idk) explain the way I'm currently typing my introduction. I'm so sorry, you're just gonna have to deal with it

Anyway, I haven't posted any of my art or edits yet, but (if) and when I do, expect inconsistency in quality and in my ''art style'' that I don't really have, I've tried to stick to just one way of drawing and it doesn't work for me lol I get bored
Also, some of my art, especially my edits may dip into absurdist ''horror(?)'' territory so I'll probably be posting those with a link instead of an image & be giving a heads up for those. Most of my art is just character doodles though

I also make music! not super often, but it's something I do. I have my soundcloud linked under my profile so that y'all can check it out along with my art & stuff if you want. feel free to download and remix any of it, btw, I wanna see what you can do and I really like seeing people use or get inspired by my stuff

also, uh, sorry in advance for my potential obnoxiousness, i was never really around for the early internet where forums were more commonplace so I don't have a very great grasp of the kind of 'culture' around here? and you'll probably be able to tell that I'm pretty (young, but i am pretty too, lol) if not for the fact that i have my age listed here then probably from the (everything else, gesturing broadly)

I'm joining this forum because I think this may be better for my mental health than the modern ''social media'' kind of places on the internet. also can i change the website theme for myself somehow?? The current theme is kinda making me have to squint a lot, I mean, I should probably be wearing my astigmatism glasses but the last time I did I got sad and cried and now I'm scared to put them back on because I worry that they may be cursed based on that happening a total of once. normal stuff, you get it

hello myname is candyburning. i want to post artbut idont know how to navigate the forums or post images. sorry.

Hi there, is great connecting with you all!

I don't really remember where exactly I learned about the Crimson Dagger Forums, but I saw some users that were from the old CGTalk Forums, that's probably where it came from... I don't know. 

The truth is that I always wanted to be an artist, but life got in the way and I became an Accountant, then a Programmer and soon I'll be a Data Scientist without ever being able to become a true artist.

My desire to become capable of translating my ideas into drawings came from early childhood. I had a grandfather who was some sort of genius, a self-taught artist who could draw awesome stuff from imagination during times when references weren't easily available as they are nowadays. It's a shame that we didn't kept a single one of his works, he made it look like it was easy, but after many attempts from my side, I know what he did was different. There was no construction whatsoever, it was pure delineation, and trying to mimic the way he did it cost me a long time and caused a lot of frustration...

Then came the color-blindness diagnosis, it was one of or THE final blow to my dream of ever becoming an artist, that means I would never be able to communicate my feelings to an audience trough colors, because I'm simply unable to see the same colors as them. That's kind of true, but there's studies that says that different people see different colors, depending whether you have a word for such color or not, if you're male or female, if your mental health is in good state or even if you've been blessed with Tetrachromacy... 

Now all creative professionals are facing the absurdity of AI, and I'm sure the artist community have been hit hard, but I wasn't following, all I remember was the protest on ArtStation with all artists posting the same image of "No image" or something like that on ArtStation... I personally don't care if a machine is going to steal my work, I'm so rusty that I'll have to start it over, and for a while it should probably suck real bad, probably I'll make the models worse.

In fact, what the f* happened?
I stopped studying CG to focus on my career as a programmer (I changed careers around 2018), and many artist communities simply disappeared, I feel like a homeless person now...

Well, at least this time I'm able to properly communicate, I hope I can make some friends while getting better as an artist, that's all that there is for me at this point and for a change, this time it seems enough.

I found Crimson Dagger while looking for some smaller art communities and thought it looked like a cool place to hang out.
I'm mostly into original creatures, monsters, character designs, and worldbuilding. I love darker fantasy, psychological themes, horror, and anything from little to wildly weird or unsettling. I also do a fair bit of story concept writing, so a lot of my art ends up tied into stories or in original worlds. I enjoy art and do commissions as a free lancer artist!

Hope to meet more of you :3

hi, my name is adri.

Hello! 

I've been drawing for awhile, posting online since the internet was invented. Mainly a horror illustrator, but between working full time as a designer and being a mom, I don't have as much time as I would like to draw. I mainly draw my son but right now I'm working on a comic series. I want to post one comic every week in 2027... or 2028 depending on what I can get done lol

Hi everybody!  It's nice to meet you :) I'm twilightsglow; my friends call me TG.  

I'm really glad this type of forum is still around.  I used to post a little on Epilogue and lurk on Concept Art and it's a shame so much knowledge was lost.  I did a search recently for a similar forum and was directed here.

Some background on me: I studied illustration but never finished art school.  I mostly paint things for myself but occasionally get a commission.  I've been painting a lot of portraits but I'd like to do more original illustrations.  It's a struggle to put my own stuff together though.  I think I should start a sketchbook thread.

I'm a jaded older artist, but I like cute things and weird things. I'm not sure how to properly introduce myself, so I'm just going to try embedding a recent sketch. Oof, that 2.1 MB filesize is a real moodkiller, huh? Here's an animation I know is small enough to get by.

hello I'm fujinos_alt!!!! (lol) I stumbled on this forum and thought it was really interesting! I never really engaged in these kinds of online art spaces before (cuz I was too young lol) but I rlly wanna give it a try :D 

I'm a first year animation student rn and social media like instagram got a little too nerve wracking to post so casually on, so I figured this would be a decent kind of alternative? Idk art school just makes ur relationship with art and sharing art weird so here I am lol.

as for my interests!! I'm really into chainsaw man!! And I'm a big fan of fujimoto's work as a whole!! I also just really like shonen in general, and I've liked drawing characters for most of my life but I've taken a recent interest in background art too! I wanna try getting better at comics and writing but I always end up making comics about sad things and It's kind of embarrassing for my school peers to see all that soooo maybe I'll post some here!!

Here's some recent drawingsss

Glad to be here!!
