Crimson Daggers Website!

Hey everybody! Finally got the Crimson Daggers website up! Thanks to Dennis Kutsenko :D! I just made up some simple little layout and we got it up as a placeholder.

Check it out!



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But anyways I wanted to put forth a challenge... If anybody is interested! Basically I don't have much webdesign skills(as you can most likely see) but I had to get somethin up and out there. For the future though I was looking to have it redesigned so that its more presentable. Doesn't have to have a million features or whatever but it should just be a cool splash page. It may need ad placement as well in the future if you'd like to take that into account. So anyways, if you'd like to lend a hand that would be awesome. I'd love to check out people's mockups of the Daggers website. I'd rather see it designed by a fellow dagger who knows what theyre doin anyways haha.

This is pretty much all it needs to include -

  • Crimson Daggers logo - can use this for placeholder i suppose

  • links to the Livestreams, sketchbooks, and blogs

  • has to include redness, blood and possibly switchblades in design

  • has to have the mission statement up top(the current one was just thrown together.)

  • has to include stream details(currently below mission statement)


So anyways, if you're interested please submit whatever mock ideas you may have to rapozaster@gmail.com. Don't mean to ask for free services or anything but I'm runnin the daggers for free at the moment D:. Not much money rollin around in the pockets. Figured I would reach out to my daggers for some love. Hopefully theres a couple graphic dagger designers out there :D!

Thanks everybody!

Been a bit, busy again :O

Hey everybody! Trying to keep up with everything I got going on and am failing... Sometimes its best not to juggle everything at once so you don't drop all the balls :(. Best to keep a strong focus. So yea, I've been doing the Crimson Daggers now for a good 3 months or so and have seen loads of improvement in the participants. The studies have totally helped my work along in so many ways and I find that finishing art is a hell of a lot easier than it used to be. Hopefully as time goes on this will grow and grow til we get a good couple hundred regulars on there posting work daily :D. Thats what I'd like to see anyways... People just getting waaay better every day and showing everybody else how its done. In the meantime though... I can wait, too much to finish all the time!

Currently I'm working on a few magazine pieces, an album cover and some personal works for an application I got going w/Bobby Chiu. Been having fun though and trying to make time to get away from art. Trying to get some time in on Mass Effect so I can unplug from my constant work and just sorta zone out. Don't usually play games ever, in fact this is the first in a couple years, but its relaxing and I think I've needed that. Just have to watch out that I don't get totally sucked in D:. Mass Effect is awesome :O!

Well, heres some art I've been doin :O. Just messin around for now so these are all works in progress :). Then some studies.
