I just joined this wonderfull community so I guess it's in order to tell you a bit about myself.

I'm a self thought artist. I've been neglecting my talent for a decade learning and doing diverse stuff for a living from logo designs, web pages, basic 3D modeling so I decided to get back to basics and try to evolve as an illustrator. I bought a Wacom tablet and set myself to a journey of artistic growth. I'm here to learn as I go and hopefully I can help someone else on their path of perfection.

As a part of my growth I recently started a blog to force myself to regularly post new illustrations. If you're interested you can check it out here: http://johanaanart.blogspot.com/

I also have my DeviantArt profile, but if you go through it, you can see I've been quite passive for the last years. http://atma33.deviantart.com/

So this is it in short.

I hope I can contribute to this community, grow as an artist and meet some ql people on the way.

Cheeers ;)

Hello, I'm 24yo. student from Czech Republic and my goal is try to get into Industrial design course at local college next year and then (in distant future) work in concept or illustration. I'm propably exact opposite of classic person interested in making art... i didn't start drawing until late highschool and my approach was something like... "this stuff dont look like these from Blizzard, so i cannot do this and it was pointless to try". But I always had that feeling i wish to create some cool illustration which i saw in my head. Now i think it's time to break this block so I registered at conceptart.org and after hearing about CD at sickbrush stream I'm here too :D . I hope I can find some friends to study together and to motivate each other. See ya later! :)
(btw. rainbows rock!)

So glad to finally register! I'll keep this short for your convenience:

I was born in Poland and moved to NYC in 2003. I just finished my undergraduate Illustration at the School of Visual Arts and looking forward to get into the publishing industry. Right now my focus is on book covers and some card work. I work traditionally with oil paints, but lately I've been experimenting with digital so I hope to incorporate that someway in the future.

I've been watching the streams for a few months now but what really got me to register was the first book cover challenge which is perfect timing since i just finished school. I expect this to be the first of many challenges I will participate in.

That's all :) see you all around on the forums

Best,
Greg

Hey, my name is Christoffer Klungerbo, you can call me Chris or Klung. Been following the crimson daggers for a while but haven't really been active until just recently.

I'm still in school, studying animation, but I want to be an illustrator/concept artist in the games and movie industry when I'm done in about 1,5 years time.

Nice to be aboard! :)

Hey there,

I'm rockonguy :s
Introduced here by sickbrush, 14 yrs. old, from Holland.
My real name is Sjoerd (dutch name)
Hobbies: Guitar, jiu-jitsu and of course art.
Started digital yesterday, traditional since summer break.
That's about it, i guess. :sleepy:

Finally decided to give this site a try after hearing about it for a little while. You may know me from conceptart.org or deviantart, but for those who don't; my name is Robert Powell, I am a digital artist that currently resides in Canada. I have been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil. Painting is something that I have only really started a few years ago, but neither is perfect as this point. Any sort of crits or suggestions are welcome and highly encouraged whenever you see my work. Don't be shy or feel that you are too harsh, cuz I can take it. :)

Hopefully I can learn a thing or two while being here, so that I may be one step closer to achieving my goal of working in the concept art industry.

Cheers!

i dont know if its fate or not but i just came off a serious, serious, serious artistic breakdown last night from around 11pm until around 9am this morning and i have to say this community is exactly what ive been looking for to keep myself positive and focused.

ive watched every dave and dan video in just today. i checked out a livestream of i believe dan, and ive looked through the forum at the small but very passionate community. i am happy to join in and put some serious work in with you guys so we can all improve together.

i am also more than willing to share any of the love and help i get back with other members of the community.. so lets all get awesome

p.s im not sure how quickly this forum moves yet with a slightly smaller community than say.. a conceptart or something.. but i have the luxury right now of not having to work for about another 2 or 3 months. that being said ill be on here (at least with a window open) almost constantly and i plan to practice 4-10 hours daily.

Hello guys! My name is Tey and I'm a 24 y/o guy in the Philippines. I'm new here and all I want to say is that I love drawing and learning from guys like you here in Crimson Daggers.. Yey! :D

Hey people of the Crimson,

My name is Fotis Aradas, or Rrabbstyjke. I'm 29 years old, from Athens, Greece. I've always been drawing and painting, though never took it more professionaly than a hobby. Recently, I had a change of heart and was thinking to go after this on a professional level, and that made me realize I need to improve my skills. I've been around forums here and there, DA, blogs, livestreams, and these led me to the Daggers.

So very happy to be here, and let the learning begin!

Cheers to all.
