Re: The new member welcome thread

Hi there. sm_15

I'm an amateur fantasy artist (though at one point, I'd like to venture into science fiction) - and while I'm trying to improve art, I'm also writing a novel. Art is something I've always dreamed of being able to do along with my other goals.

This looks like a neat place to get to know other artists, while attaining helpful advice and critiques to better improve. sm_15

Re: The new member welcome thread

Indeed, welcome. Though I've actually looked at your DA stuff, and you're pretty darn good yourself! Some great art in there.

Re: The new member welcome thread

I'm forum-challenged, so I hope I'm doing this right!

Hello everyone, still a small community here, so hopefully we can all get to know each other pretty well. Just as anyone else, I'm an aspiring artist, particularly in the concept area. I love the entertainment industry, that's where my goals lay. I joined for both inspiration and motivation because I can't get things done if I'm the only one making me do stuff. >.<

This is only true half the time.

Re: The new member welcome thread

Hi everybody!
I'm a new member, coming all the way from DeviantArt... lol
English is not my first language, so just overlook my grammar, please!
I'm a total newbie at digital arts, coming from a whole life of traditional artwork. But I've got a Wacom tablet last week and I LOVE IT! So I'm trying to explore everything I can (it's been hard, 'thou!)
Thank you so much for this idea and this project, I'm sure everyone appreciate the tutorials and all the 'school' area!

Re: The new member welcome thread

Welcome! nice to see you made it sm_16 I would suggest participating in the 'daily piece' forum as much as possible until we start running larger challenges sm_15

Also put up your attempts and sketches in a sketchbook thread for yourself sm_16
We will help you and comment on your progress often so you can get a clear view of what you need to work on and where you are heading.

Have fun! And send me a shout if you have any problems or questions at all. sm_14

Re: The new member welcome thread

Hi everyone!

Another newbie here. I'm not a professional artist (I'm actually a nurse...) but I've been at it with photoshop and my wacom and painting as a hobby for I guess about 2 years now. Sadly, I can't say all that time I was practicing so I know I still have a lot to learn. sm_15

Looking forward to the forum art challenges, sometimes I have a hard time trying to come up with ideas to draw. Hopefully this will push me to be more creative and get feedbacks at the same time. sm_14
