To be honest If I could, I would like to have checkboxes for categories. So I can include and exclude whatever I like. So that I can just exclude all weapons and characters. I've just become so jaded that I can't appreciate even the good 2d character art anymore. Like, it does nothing for me. In that screenshot there may…
Chimp - agreed on all points ! Now I only just skipped through the thread but if I am not mistaken no one is asking for less T&As, right ? I see people wondering why there is a lot of that kind of imagery around sites like Artstation and Drawcrowd (and in the case of the OP, a question as to why this is so popular/gets…
If you really want to get people to look at your artwork on ArtStation, throw the mature tag on it, I've clicked on so many dumpsters and barrels that were labeled mature, get's me every time. I find this is more of an issue with 2D art on AS, people like to draw boobs I guess. Drawing boobs isn't really a problem but the…
I'd frame it another way. These people who got that job, got it because their work was so good that it got them to front row. The quality is the enabler, and from there anything goes. Sure, nicely rendered tits and asses might get one to the top of the Artstation page. But that's not going to interest an art director who…
The site's got mainstream. you arent entitled to visibility, and practically you can't have it when there's both massive quantity, and extremely high quality stuff floating around. whether it's AAA art dumps timed so all involved get exposure at the same time, or tits because most of its users are straight men and like…
what's the gain for a studio when participating in one of these coordinated 'blasts' though? i recall several places i have either been at or heard about where they were very conscious of their staff being lured away. this included not having credits in the game or manual at all or omitting job titles, not giving direct…
I don't understand the bitching about the Horizon stuff. The art is on various artist pages, the studio probably had guidelines for a date when artists were allowed to upload to artstation or their own portfolios and obviously has guidelines as to what format should be used. It is trending because many people like the…
The concern I have is that, because T&A compromises such a large quantity of the front page, it shows that people are liking them all because of the subject matter rather than the piece itself. The ones on the front page are rarely of poor quality, but many are displayed in lieu of things that reached similar levels of…
i really really hope polycount doesnt end up as artstation. like it would be such a bummer. like. uh. it would be shit in a cake-bad. with all this talk of bigger thumbnails and shit, i worry. there is no better place for gameart on the web, as far as i know. and if it ended up being only…
To be fair, I don't care about people making art like that either. I'm more concerned about; A ) The actual value of the site as a place to put up a portfolio and be discovered by an employer or client being diluted because of the front page getting swarmed by all the T&A nameless random viewers enjoy, B ) Having a harder…
