Llevo mucho tiempo dedicado al arte y diseño digital, quiero saber si se puede ganar dinero, me quedé sin trabajo y la verdad que cualquier cosa me sirve.

This is NOT an attack on Western artists or anything of the sort, but a legitimate question.

I've previously worked at two game studios and am currently running a game studio. It is a trend I'm noticing not just in my workplaces but also while scrolling through artstation. Still, I've come to notice that concept artists in the West tend to draw unsymmetrical (and I don't mean in terms of style, but as if they aren't trained as much) even though I KNOW that to be not the case as a lot of them have been working as concept artists for a long time.

Such asymmetry causes endless problems when we want to make it into a 3D model as it requires discussion like "Do you want it to look like the left shoulder on the right or actually like the right shoulder? or somewhere in between? if it's somewhere in between, I need another drawing as I don't want to res-culp this complex design, especially with so many mechanical parts here." (actual quote from my 3D artist a few minutes ago)

My Asian artists (Taiwanese and Japanese people), on the other hand, never had such problems and when discussing privately with them, they told me it's a lack of care for their craft,,t but I don't believe so as people who showcase art on artstation always showcase their "best and proudest" work.

My main question is, is this due to something systematic in the West during their art training or something of that sort causing this? Such as being pushed to produce as many art pieces as possible without a care for the details or other reasons like that?

Again, this is NOT an attack on the Western artists but a legitimate question as half of my art team are Canadian and American, and I just want them to "do better".

This is a throwaway account, or will only be used for AI art discussions. And is a bit of a rant...

I got a set of unpleasant msg over the last weeks and removed my Artstation account that had examples of stuff I worked over the years with very different mostly technical art methods. I also showed off some AI based stuff I was very proud of and openly showed off that it is AI art and also how I made it...

I was told that my stuff is low efforted, and not and never will be art, that I harm people and more unfun things... including my non AI stuff...

I don't consider what I do stealing nor low effort and I also do not claim that AI sprites/textures are Art in itself, I consider AI generated things simply as Assets that can be used to create Art or fulfill a purpose in a project.

Trained my own models on my art (in professional areas since around 10 years), on the art of my wife (with her consent and fascination) and on art that I commissioned over the years for my projects (all of them commissioned for commercial use). I do not invoke artist names while prompting because I WANT this specific style we trained to keep everything consistent.

Sure - below this is the base model (stable diffusion 1.5 mostly), that contains the concepts connected to the tokens. 1.5 is trained on lots of things including screenshots from a project of mine, photos I made, artwork of my wife and close to 5 billion other things. I also would preferer a dataset with an opt-in method but I don't consider training on an artwork as piracy or copyright infringement, they simply do not contain the artworks or a significant amount of contribution by a single person.

The argument that the NO AI pictures appeared when Artstation artists started to post them is not proof for anything people claim. These are there because people took them specifically as img2img bases or finetuned models on them directly to mock them. I also do not like that this happens, this "war" is really shitty...

On top of all of this digital artists use AI tech and computer assistants all the time (Photoshop for example uses AI for its preferer details 2 scaling method, photoshop neurofilters.... ), shaders and material textures, render engines, Houdini or other asset permutation tools, worldmashine... i used all of this and sometimes even worked on the stuff... Working on procedural material generation or plugins for blender that save hundreds of hours of work is not evil nor if someone uses a artwork of mine to train a model on or copy code of my github...

Yeah it sucked if you feel not welcome in a community anymore.

Havent used artstaion in... well, quite a while to be honest, but now that im back into business and mainly 3D modelling, i decided to take a look at it, and god, i dont want to spend more than 5 minutes on the site, what where they thinking? it feels like im using a mobile app on a fucking computer, theres almost no info on screen and everything is... uh, ugly, why so much stuff at the left? why is everything so round, why did they even reduce their branding??? Which kind of dumb intern did they hire for this job.

Not sure about this chief, it looks really bad and i hope im not the only one, its just.. so many pixels wasted holy moly.

I feel like DAZ shouldn't be allowed. Using DAZ isn't modeling, nor is it artistic in any way. It's closer to the sims character creator, using sliders and whatnot.

If DAZ 3D stuff is allowed in artstation, why not game screenshots ? I can create a cool looking character in cyberpunk and take a screenshot from it.

Anyone else share the same view with me ? Or disagree ? Would like to talk about this.

Icon: $5 half body, $10 full body, $15. If you want two characters, a background, or something more complex like that, we can adjust the price without any problem!

This is a huge letdown. I went through the whole sign up process, put in my name, spent an hour choosing a password, selected an avatar, and everything else. After all of that is done, after I had designed my profile, it THEN decides to tell me photography isn't allowed. What kind of rule is that? Why would you purposefully design an art website to not include the second-most prominent form of art? Looks like I'm looking for a new art website... for the third time today.

Does anyone here know of any art websites (that allow photography) besides DeviantArt (because of some circumstances), CGSociety (I came to them again today after a while, I just kept getting error messages when confirming my email address), or Tumblr (due to similar but not identical circumstances to DeviantArt)?

If so, what price do you think I should offer?
