Hey fellow painters, how's it going everyone!?

Short introduction:
My name is Sven, I'm from Berlin/ Germany and rediscovered my love for painting a while ago.
I used to freelance (3D) next to my ordinary job but had to quit because I underwent a stressful time,
so decided to not juggle two jobs.

Times've changed and now I'm looking to freelance again someday - this time in 2D though.

Whole lotta practice in front of me, but I'm excited to have an interesting exchange with you guys.

See you around!!

Hey guys, S4MURAI_CAT here!

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself;

My name is Sergey (From lat. "servi dei",which means "God servant") . I am 22 years old. I was born and raised in Lithuania in Klaipeda city. I like playing games;watching movies,cartoons,anime;going to the gym; And,of course, to draw. If i would characterize  myself, i would say that i am some lazy son of a... I am too lazy to do all this stuff above ,even if i like them. Well, that's my paradox.

What i hope to get out of this community is to beat up my laziness,make some friends and just to have a good time!
Here is my deviant art page :  http://s4murai-cat.deviantart.com/  -i haven't upload any drawings yet,but i will leave it here anyway.
 

Have a great time guys and may the art be with you!

I've always loved animation and the different parts of art it employs. Last year i started doing daily sketches to try drawing every day and so far everything is going well and i continue to do it for the new year as well. I recently left school and i'm taking the self taught route for now with some classes here and there to spice things up.

I love to talk about techniques with other artists and i'm always willing to help others however i can when it comes to art. I usually do traditional art, from graphite to charcoal and even oil painting but i'm slowly trying to get into digital. I'm not only joining this site to get critiques and improve on my art but to make friends have people i can talk to about art, bounce ideas off, and overall help. All of my friends are not really into art so i really don't get to talk to anyone about it so for this new year i would like to change that. I've heard nothing but good things about this community from normal people to artists i look up to and i decided to finally give it a try.

I will be opening a sketchbook thread too so i can update it with current and completed projects. Don't be shy and say hello. We can talk via Skype or your preferred medium. Here's to a year of improvement and getting to know people with your same passion! 

Hello my name is Miles O'Brien and I am excited to use this forum. I recently moved out of NYC to Florida for college and there aren't many artists out here. I hope to use this forum as a way of sharing communicating and critiquing with other artists so that we can all help each other grow to our full potential! My artwork can be found here  http://scorchartist.deviantart.com/

Hello this is my first time making anything in these forums. I will post my random drawing here, Plz feel free to offer any Crit/advice!  I want to one day do art as a living. 

Hello everyone, 

I am an avid gamer currently live in Sydney area and I want to get into gaming industry as a concept artist. I've been self taught for years, but don't have many people to share my work with, and I don't get enough critiques. That's why I come to this forum where people get  together to help each other improve their art skills.

I am currently focus on environmental designs, this is the  most recent studies I did from a photo.




I got a DA page http://achi608.deviantart.com  welcome to check it out!

Hi I'm new :)

My Name is Adam, I've recently turned 20 and studying at University level in United Kingdom, for the past 2-3 years I have been predominantly doodling and it wasn't till about a year and a bit ago that I took the leap into seriously wanting to improve as an artist so that I could eventually get paid to do what I love. 

So yeah, that's me! Hope to post often, If I can, If I'm not mentally fragmented by the studies I do! 

The most recent piece of work I have done has been a study of Haddon Sundblom.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

    Been lurking here recently, really enjoy the friendly atmosphere as well as the tons of resources available to artists.  I'm a freelance artist, and I'm seeking to become more of a concept artist, so I'll be working as hard as I can to achieve this. Art is my passion and drive, and I love creating it and would very much like to improve my skills to create better quality work, so this forum should be very helpful to me in that regard.

Hi everyone,


Imperial Steam and Light is a personal art series inspired by Chinese history and the Industrial Revolution. I'm now working on a comic book based in this world. Fee free to comment, critique and support me by connecting with me on social media :) (links in my sig) Thanks everyone!


Imperial Aiship

Generating mass air pollution in its path, the Empress's airship is big enough to block out the sun as it approaches a village, demonstrating the overwhelming power of the Imperial family.




Harvester

Cuts and waters crops with ease. A mix between a tractor, a robot, and multiple farming tools, the Harvester is the ultimate farming solution.




Bridal Carriage

In traditional Chinese marriage, the hour of the ceremony is crucial and often determined by a fortune teller. Skilled mechanist combined a traditional bridal carriage with the power of the steam engine to ensuring the timely arrival of the bride, all the while displaying the wealth of the family.


Imperial Inventor

Losing almost everything in a horrible engineering accident, the inventor now focuses all his time creating new machines for the Imperial family. His only companions are his robotic servant, and pet parrot, for whom he also created a robot friend for.




Immortal Empress

With the exception of silver hair, the Immortal Empress retains a youthful appearance. She is permanently attached to her floating golden throne, that pumps a mixture of Mitha and advanced medicine directly into her ageing body. Essentially half human half machine, her place on the throne is eternal, as is her rule over the empire.




Night Patrol

Assassins and thieves beware. Stepping into the circle of light generated by the patrol will not only cause the guard dogs to attack but also set off the gong and baton alarm.


Imperial Sheriff

The famed sheriff of the Imperial City, known for his metallic arm The Iron Kirin.




Court Band

Ever vigilant for assassins in disguise, the Blackguard, the Empress's elite group of servants, have replaced all court performers with steam-powered dolls, to ensure the safety of the Empress.




Key Keeper

The recently deceased Keeper organized the keys for the Imperial Dungeon. With him gone, only his cats could pair the thousands of keys to their lock, but they refused to work without their master. The Imperial Inventor reanimated the Keeper's skeleton with steam engines to satisfy the loyal pets until they find a better solution. The skeleton of the eldest cat was also reanimated as a mobile key cutting machine.


Crystal Herbalist

Losing almost everything in a horrible engineering accident, the inventor now focuses all his time creating new machines for the Imperial family. His only companions are his robotic servant, and pet parrot, for whom he also created a robot friend for.




Exorcist

The Exorcist combined the brute force of his steam powered mount and traditional Chinese black magic to repel the undead. He preforms a ritual at the altar atop the head of his mount, while a family of pet owls employ charms, a golden bell, and Taoist mirror to enfeeble the horde.




Raccoon Express

A combination of steam ingenuity and street food culture, the Raccoon Express is a famous attraction of the Imperial City. A catchy tune performed by the chimney-bots signals its arrival and entices the public. A pack of trained raccoons trail the Express, cleaning up any mess left behind by the hungry mob near the tracks.


Chimera

The Chimeras were constructed to clear the Imperial City streets during heavy snowfall. The Greek myth of a creature with a lion's head and a snake's tail, is the inspiration behind the design and the nickname given to these winter machines. The lion's head devours the fallen snow as the snake's head expels it to the side of the road.




Imperial Convoy

This once-retired fleet of imperial ships have been refitted with basic artillery to protect trade, diplomats, and the interests of the nobles across the imperial skies.




Clockwork Liondancer

The Clockwork Liondancer is aided by steam-powered machinery, controlling the movement of the hind-legs, eyes and mouth of the ceremonial lion, he performs the traditional Chinese dance with a steampunk flare.


Teahouse Concepts

A young couple await for their seats in a local teahouse accompanied by clockwork pet birds and servants. The Dimsum Bot strolls the floor serving customers. Her headdress acts as a menu while the steam used to power her wheels is recycled to keep the dimsum hot inside her steamer-skirt.




Pet Walker

The Pet Walker is armed with a treat dispenser and a clockwork scooper to keep the dogs happy. Unfortunately, the technology is not advanced enough to intercept the falling debris from the pet birds, which often land on the walker's head.




Gambling Den Concepts

The den boss counts her earnings while the bouncer watches over the underground establishment. The Dice Bot hosts a game of "Fish-Prawn-Crab", a Chinese gambling game. He shakes the 3 dices with the clockwork contraption in his torso, while sorting coins with his mechanical limbs.


Thanks everyone for looking! Feel free to connect with me on social media :)

My name is Giovanni Rivera and I'm a 21 year old studio art major living in Mount Vernon Iowa. I do comic art, tiny bits of animation, sculpting, painting, digital art, and traditional drawing. I take alot of inspiration from comics and cartoons I love and feel like just within the past 2 years I've grown so so much but I still feel like I have a long road ahead of me. I want to make more finished looking work. I get stuck alot though on what to do next. I thought joining communities like this would help me get feedback and share my work more often as well as see other people's work more often.

Here's me Deviantart Arg!
