Introduce Yourself Here!

Welcome everyone! Our group has had a great start in the last few days and we're already high on the most popular groups list. I'd like us to take to take an opportunity to share the diversity of this community so far. Nothing too formal, let's just hear what your art form of choice is. Writers, painters, digital artists, musicians, whoever and whatever! You all are welcome and have an audience here. Also Don't worry if you don't have a specific medium for your creativity yet, just comment what you would like to see more of in the future! I'll start, I am a classical fine artist. I draw, paint, sculpt, and I'm starting to get into digital art as well.

    Hi there, let me give you a brief bio, since i am now admin. [just because i participate in jackassery in TFS, where im a mod, and on the mains doesnt mean i will do the same here, so fear not] Main account name:Capiton Render GT[xbox]:Capit0n Render, [PSU]DeadOn Name: James C. O'Brien Schooling in art: SCAD grad in animation 2/3d, and conceptual 3d modelling Age:33yrs I started young, as an outlet for my boredom while travelling with family. I found an outlet in art, and continued on and off throughout my life. I taught myself 2/3 point perspective at 9. When in HS i found a teacher that recognized my ability, and took AP art classes throughout my HS years. I attended a CC for art classes, and when time came to choose, it was either a Math/physics path{MIT scholarship) or art courses. I chose art, not so much because it was the career i wanted, but because i had such a passion for it. In comes SCAD, i have classical training in all disciplines, with focus on human anatomy, acting and animation techniques, i studied under a a teacher who was a tweener for tex avery and chuck jones. Upon graduating, and looking at some of the requirements to get into my field, i took a job doing engineering work for a more stable money inflow. Since then my art participation has been fluctuating. My current focus is to get back into painting, and perhaps a little 2d animation. My current focus in styles will be pop surrealism, polka trash, tattoo styles, and of course a little animation. My family has a history of artists, painters, musicians, diamond cutters, and jewelry makers, so i feel almost the need to get back to my roots. If you want any advice on techniques, or constructive criticism, i will be more than glad to assist. As far as moderating the group, ill assist in any way i can, provide tutorials for techniques, which i have a plethora from an old art group i ran, and will be discouraging elitism, which can be a nuisance within the art community. Otherwise, I will shortly pull my HS and college portfolios, digitize the bastards, and show some of my work, its been a long time coming, and hopefully, if this is a good community in the long run, will help me find new motivations to pursue my craft.

    • My name is Roland, and I work on the Mars rover. I've been inspired by Bungie from way back with Marathon, and now I want to use what I know about planetary geology to build stories about the worlds in Destiny.

            Hey, I'm a high school senior that will be graduating in a couple weeks and possibly continuing going into an Illustration Major. Though, I'm still somewhat undecided. I'vedipped my hand into a little bit of everything. But mostly I've done more traditional artwork. I've mostly been using more traditional mediums up to this point (oils, acrylics, and just plain old pencil and paper.) Recently I've been getting more involved in digital art. I'm also a huge Sci-fi fantasy nerd.

            Alright, I'm a bit late on this one since I joined a few days ago and have yet to make a post: I am Plain Ben, just call me Ben. I'm 20 and I've always had a keen interest in drawing since I was young, however it never really went past fun doodles in my schoolbooks until until last year, that's when I started taking drawing more seriously with an intention to improve, I saw lots of digital art online and wanted to replicate the awesomeness and went out and bought a Wacom Bamboo. [url=http://i.imgur.com/XV4htQs.png]It did not start well[/url]. I was also an obsessive 2D animator when I was younger, and I was insanely dedicated at that. Me and a group of online friends kept in constant contact that animating was all I thought of doing once I got home from school for a time - I hope this community follows like that old animation community - as in we have fun, and motivate eachother to press on through rough patches and improve. I'd also love to see some collaboration sometime, that'd be awesome. [url=http://plainben.deviantart.com/gallery/36291400]DeviantArt Gallery[/url]

          • My name is Carlo, 64 is my age. Been doing fine art, theater and lighting design and art exhibitions well, for ever. Hope to share some work with a great art community. Fan art is a little out of my comfort zone but fun.

            • I work in pen and pencil when I draw. Above is one of my nicer looking works. That's what I can draw when I'm not tired. When I am, weird stuff appears on my paper.

              • Hey, I'm Nuka. Just turned 20 bout two weeks ago, so I just started another decade of my life. Uhm...for the most part, I'm just an all around digital artist. I'm currently trying to major in multiple things like website design, video editing, graphic design, etc. Started drawing a lot from a very young ago and for most of my life I wanted to grow up to be an animator. Traditional frame by frame drawn out animation, that is. It's a dying form of art though, so I've reduced it to merely a hobby. So I like art and computers. If I get admitted into the group I'll make a thread with some of my random works.

                My name is Joe, and I'm 17. I plan on studying digital art and animation in college, and I love awesome things. My specialty medium is charcoal, and I can also use oil paints and other similar mediums. I plan to attempt to paint with spray paint later this week, maybe I'll get back to you guys with the results(though not if its going to my art class). I also hope to learn to sculpt, though not starting within the next two weeks due to the AP studio exam that I need to finish things up for. At this rate my portfolio is going to be overloaded with charcoal/oil paint drawings unless I can get myself into gear.

                Hey everybody. This goat's always loved cartoons and I'm studying a whole bunch of different art-related things at the moment. Here's some info about myself: Field: Character designer, animator, background artist Style: Semi-Realistic, Cartoon, Anime, Traditional 2D Animation Medium: Digital, Analog Software: Photoshop, Illustrator, Paint Tool SAI, RETAS Pro Hardware: Investing in a Wacom Cintiq and a Tablet PC. Currently own a [crappy] Bamboo Experience: Been drawing since 3 but never really took it serious till 2009. Took an online course on 2D/3D design and Animation. About to study Sequential Art (comics) and another form of Illustration. I'm gonna go back and do Animation next year possibly. I'm working on a website which should be up this Fall. I'd love to have my own 2D/3D series like Star Wars TCW. Something of that caliber (with more mature dialog of course) to contrast the stuff currently showing. If anyone would like to collab on a webcomic or reel, I am always available. You can reach me here or twitter at A3LGoat

              • Aleroth ALoki. I am not much of a drawer but I can type up a good story or so I have been told. Wish I could draw. I have seen a lot of fantastic pieces of work here but I am content with what I am capable of doing.

              • Hi, I'm Steph. I've been drawing (and writing) for about four - five years now when I moved for the fifth time. I began with anime/manga style and have branched into more realistic styles. I prefer drawing with pencil but have recently begun branching out into chalk pastel as well as clay. I have just begun my first art class and am hoping to incorporate various styles into my work.

                • Hey. Name's Ant. I am a Graphic Designer but really I'm here for the sick concept art that Bungie has shown us. It has inspired me to buy a wacom tablet and start digital painting/drawing. Fun times. From the little fan art I have looked at here on Bungie.net, looks as though I am in good company.

                • Hi, my name is the same as it is above. I'm currently 17, and have been drawing (cars, more cars, Master Chief, pokemon, you name it) with pens and pencils since god knows when, and have recently decided to move onto the computer (photoshop, gimpshop, tuxpaint, whatever is available). I'm saving up for one of those fancy-ass tablet things with the pens so my digital art will look more like my physical art (mouse+photoshop=death). Anyway, I'm here because of the insane amounts of awesome concept art that Bungie's been spewing out recently. I hope to get on their level sometime soon.

                • Hello fellow artist reading this intro, as you can see my name is Optimus Rhyme ive been drawing the traditional way with pencil and paper for as long as i can remember. Music and Transformers movie sound effects are what motivate me and get my drawing juices flowing. im self taught thought my main style of drawing is mostly a mix of anime and realism with a dash of metallic's and a hint of destruction. Thats pretty much it im sure your probably better than me AT THE MOMENT but soon ill be up there with the concept artists! P.S. (if any veteran Bungie artists read this...THANK you so much for your beautiful art creations in the past if not for those pieces of art my imagination and skill level would of never jumped from that boring style i used to have thank you!)

                • Hello, I'm a writer that is currently studying game development and computer science. While I don't plan on pursuing a career writing for games, I do enjoy writing on the side when I have the time. I've written a short Halo fanfic, and started a much longer one as well, but other than that have done nothing substantial. I specialize in making, long, wordy posts about stuff, although this one seems to be pretty short. I also love seeing the stuff this community has created over the years, I was a frequent browser of the Gallery forum before the update and some amazing stuff comes from you guys and your sweet art skills. I've missed the awesome fanfics from the Gallery pinned topics, and hope to see some come up here as well.

                • Hey, I'm threesided. I'm an aspiring game artist, and plan to do everything I can to one day work for Bungie. I work primarily in 2D, but have been branching into 3D modelling in the last couple of years. Since graduation from University I've mostly been working in a warehouse to pay the bills and freelancing where I can. I've also been working on a game project of my own for the past year now. Y'know, bein' indie and such. I'm hoping to get back to school and learn to becoming a serious artistic force to be reckoned with in the industry Hi :3
