A great thanks to the founder :icongdsworld: and the great team behind :iconconceptworld: for accepting me as a fellow admin to help mod this awesome concept art supergroup.  There's a whole lot of awesome talent in the group that I'm really glad to be able to rub shoulders with!

I initially joined up as a regular member with ConceptWorld a few months back because as a budding concept artist I was looking for a group to really get involved in and it certainly was the best concept art group I found on DA.  Oh there are others out there, but none that are focused not only on showcasing some really awesome art , but also on being actively involved in developing the community.

Did I mention that we ( I can technically say we now can't I?  :) ) also produce a digital magazine all about concept art called Concepteez, and best of all, it's TOTALLY FREE. Why wouldn't you go check it out really?

  Issue 1 - pdf   - Flash
  Issue 2 - pdf

The group hosts a great bi-weekly concept design competitions with the winners potentially being featured in the actual Concepteez magazine itself.   There is a neat Friday feature journal which showcases awesome concept art from across the interweb.  There will also be a brand new speed paint event which I am going to be helping out on with a unique format that I'm really excited about and am  keen to participate in myself!
Ultimately the aim is to provide inspiration and hopefully help its members grow and get better as artists.  

I highly recommend having a browse through the galleries.  There is a lot of supreme eye candy to feast your eyes on if you're into all things concept-y.  If you happen be working on concepts that you would like to showcase and get some exposure you can become a member and submit them. The group has about 3,600 members and over 4,600 watchers!  There is a relatively high standard of quality applied to all accepted submissions deviations but if you are just starting and think your work might not be up to scratch, that shouldn't stop you from submitting work and asking for feedback when being evaluated.  It could be a great way to take stock and evaluate your advancement in skill every so often.  (granted some of you may not be as much of a feedback junkie as I am :) )

So come aboard, join in the fun,  I know I'm excited to see where this train is going!

I use the moniker MonkeyBread pretty much everywhere else but here on DA. I set up this DA account before anything else and before I had an online alter-ego branded so apologies for any confusion :)

 If you are a fan please take a moment to like my facebook page

I aim to start posting useful links to tutorials, blogs and anything else that i think might be really interesting or useful to the aspiring artist community using the page, so don't miss out on some potentially useful and cool stuff.

I post on DA mainly to get feedback and showcase my practice exercises and hone the skills until my work consistently produces the "wow" response in people.

I have a couple of degrees in Physics and Computer Science and a Diploma in 3d Animation but am now moving towards making a full time living from my artwork. This drives me to scribble away at the tablet most evenings into the wee hours of the morning. If you're looking for someone to do some work for you just check out my portfolio, send me a note and let's get started.

A big thanks to everyone who fav's my stuff. I can't often respond to them all individually, but every single one is so very much appreciated!
