Posted at March 20, 2005, 4:06 am:

So that´s the thread in wich I want to post all of my drawings and paintings I make now and in the future. This thread is meant to be some kind of documentation of my drawing skills and improvements. Well perhaps it sounds absurd, or not realy realistic but I want to try, to show you my personal "artjourney", from now till the time I reach my aim, wich is becoming a concept artist (Yes, and think what you want but I swear that it actually IS realistic). Yeah perhaps It´s kind of crazy to do something like this because this thread is going to be still active in maybe 15 years. I just want to share my artprocess of my entire life with you, to improve quickly and learn the most i can.

To introduce myself:
My name is Christof, I´m 16 years old and I live in germany. I am very ambitious to reach my aim. I really want to learn the most I can and I ask you guys to help me doing so. I hope that some of you are interested to give comments and critiques, ´cause I think this project will be really great!!

Yeah, nothing more to say about it. I hope that some of you like to participate in my huge journey, and hopefully some of you would like to help me to become the best artist i can ever become

Hope you enjoy it
