Hey there guys,

been meaning to join CD for a long time now, watching the community grow from the sidelines on here and through friends on Facebook has made me really curious to have a look for myself. I'm Jordan, I'm 22 and I'm currently studying an MA in Concept Art at Teesside uni in England. I mainly love creating environmental pieces but I feel my work is still lacking that storytelling element that will really give it that kick up the rear it needs. I'm now also trying to look into the character art side as well, which is mostly why I'm here. I've been working as a freelance artist for a few years now on a few projects and I'm hoping beyond hope that I'll be good enough to get a good job in a studio sometime in the future!

Hey all, I'm MrKanti, a 22 year old baby drawler that woke up to wanting to be a concept artist recently. I feel late in the game and have been in waves of negativity trying to get better and was introduced to Crimson Daggers after watching Real Talk with Dave and Dan and getting kicked in the face with all the bullshit I've been telling myself.

So rather than go another 4 months thinking "if I had only kept it up then I'd be so much farther now" I thought I'd throw myself in the community, harden up and get it together.

I don't have any art to show now, but I will, and I'll be sure to show you my failings and hopefully some successes. Nice to meet you all.

Hey all! I've been creeping about the forums for a while. Thought I'd finally join. I'm mostly here to look for comments, crits, and making new friends-- and the occasional art challenge ;)


I have a deviantart and a facebook page if you want to check those out.

Thanks for looking!

Heeeeyyyy yaa

Love that song.

I'm Finn, my nickname is Finnjamin. It's three times longer than "Finn", but hey, that's people.

Here's some of my "art", so you can see my skill level:





We'll get there.

I'm on deviantArt, swing on by and say hello if you are too. http://finnjamin.deviantart.com

Let's go practice!

PS. Incorporating images is a bit risky on a new forum, I can only hope the preview is working and I'm not breaking any rules.

Hello Daggers,

I'm Joas Kleine from the Netherlands. I work as a Freelance concept artist and Illustrator.
I'm pretty bad at these sort of introductions so i'm just gonna blurt some info about me.

I've been a freelancer for half a year now, before that i attended a game design and game art school which was unfortunately not that amazing but it completely motivated me to do what i do today.

my portfolio can be found over here : http://joaskleine.blogspot.com/

I hope you like it!


Cheers!

Hello CrimsonDaggers,
My name is Silviu Sadoschi, I'm 21 yo guy from Romania. I've been lurking for a while and decided to finally register and be a part of this awesome community. Looking forward to share my work and improve.

Hi I'm Anthony and I'm from Brooklyn, New York. I am a freshman in college so far and I am interested in improving my drawing and painting techniques. I've lurked around the forums for a while and decided to join. I hope to contribute as much as I am certain I will learn. My works can be viewed at my blog http://anthonymoravian.blogspot.com/.

A good day to you sirs and madams. Name's Shaz Yong from Malaysia, I'm just starting out in the local industry here and I have aspirations to improve myself as much as possible.

This looks to be a great community and I really look forward to be part of the discussion. Watch out for my stuff, I'm finally gonna stop being a forum lurker and get active in one for a change.

Cheerios!

My stuff can be checked out here:

Hopefully that barebones gallery will fill up asap!

Hi everyone! My name is Chong Chee Kong, hailing from Malaysia. I've graduated from art school for a year now and been carving myself a little humble existence in the local industry here.

Fear has a real grip on me for the longest time now as I'm very insecure and highly critical of myself and I really want to change that. I'm here to learn as much as possible and hope to improve! Critiques are always welcome (and bad needed too).

Here is a link to my cghub online gallery : http://twotonnetuna.cghub.com/

Nice to meet everyone and I hope to make progress along everyone here!

Hi Crimson Daggers!

My name is Zachary McLean, I'm 16 years old and have been working as a concept artist and illustrator for approximately 2 to 3 years. I live in Alberta, Canada and I'm currently in high school. I do some freelance work, but am mainly doing personal work to build my skills as an artist.

Since I was a small child, I've been immersed in art and design. My grandfather and father are both great artists and I continually am inspired by them. I am working very hard to peruse a career in what I have grown to love and am trying to find art schools that have good programs in drawing/painting/concept art.

I hope to build up my skills in traditional drawing and painting and my main goal is to do lots of life/photo studies over the next few months. Since joining this community, I have really realized how important it is to draw and paint from real life, and want to be pushed to do so through the contests and activities going on here on Crimson Daggers.

I've seen some great artists on here, which is very encouraging! I hope to make some new connections and learn together. Below is a link to my website and a few social networking websites I am on.
