i think its less about putting down beginners, and more about professionals feeling like the reason they are there, the function of the site, is being degraded by the change in context that is coming from artstation diversifying their services and audience toward new sectors like education or indeed direct sales of artwork…
Whenever I go on artstation, all I see is T&A. I realize it is the main tool I will use to apply for jobs, however to me it almost seems like a soft-core porn site most of the time. If I am browsing for inspiration I usually click the "picks" menu or type in something specific.
art may come across as a wishy washy anything goes medium, but 3d, even weird 3d needs good topology or it just wont work. I got lots of good ideas and good intentions but if my models have artifacts or other things which cause issues I cant expect my boss to not be angry.
Tough choice in all honesty I've been seeing a lot of - questionable material on A.S.S recently.Artstationsiteand well with the pay to use Artstation as your blog, seems to work for some, i fear what restrictions will come to the rest of us. Is it as long as you pay us you can use the site for your art dump no matter the…
I understand, although there is nothing more personalized then your own site which has style, it can help you tremendously. It's like this, suppose you stare at a brick wall which contains over four hundred bricks, now I told you one of the walls has a small 1"x"1 inch black X on it; the odds are it's not going to be…
its nice and all wanting to encourage art that needs help and feedback but is artstation really the place to be giving the crits etc? really i'd say that's for a forum like this. or if they launched one, or an answers hub. Again though, as ken originally highlighted, artstation itself has diversified so much that there is…
Since it's launch in 2014, the site has become synonymous with showcasing one's work for a potential shot at the 'big time' i.e. Portfolio hosting service "...where's your ArtStation". Which indeed, primarily it's core reason for being, in my honest opinion but if I've a hankering for a large helping of AAA eye candy I'd…
I agree. I guess I didn't see the separation between T&A and that artist complaints about a lack of high-tier professionalism, but now I do. Still, there is the staff picks to curate out the better pieces. Beyond that, how do you restrict or control access to what is being posted and who is posting it? If it's "you have to…
Non-indie web is hostile, but extremely useful. I think it's a good idea to have an Artstation for portfolio content, and a blog for basically everything else that gets shared with a non-industry audience. It kinda just makes more sense to me. People worry about how hard it is to broadcast updates on self-hosted or indie…
