Inspiration Artefact and Forefront: Week 31 Art Station

This week I would like to talk about ArtStation www.artstation.com. It's a platform to showcase the best 2D and 3D artists. The platform was created in Montreal due the need fo artists to showcase their work in an easy way and contact with potential recruiters and companies for jobs. It has very interesting tools as you can see the best artworks chosen by the community, they are features for the quality and originality of the piece. However artists also can be selected to be featured the Trending category, which are the works that are more viewed by the public. It also has filters to see works in Traditional and Digital 2D and 3D. In that way, It also works very well as an inspiration tool to enrich the creation process due its easy and very visual way. The platform also has a Jobs category when you can see the latest jobs offered in the industry. I also works very well to create your own Portfolio open to see to all the public and you can have followers of your work and follow other connecting your work with others in the community. In conclusion, I think what is important of this kind of tools for an Animator and a 3D artisit is to always be in the forefront of what tools are leading to showcase your job, it's not enough to be good you also have to do a hard work promoting yourself. This process can be difficul to artists that don't hav a very commercial or marketing ideas but thanks to this platforms is easier to connect with potential clients.
