See The Works of Aspiring Artists With This Sponsored App
Sporting the same name as its base website, ArtStation is a cool lifestyle app that allows you to have access to the awesome artworks on ArtStation, the digital art showcase platform for artists everywhere. The ArtStation app is the official app for fans and not artists of ArtStation, so if you’ve been finding yourself constantly checking out all the cool stuff on the website and you prefer using your phone or tablet more, this app is a handy recommendation for you.
The Ultimate Art Gallery
ArtStation is a digital art museum website that serves as a platform for game, film, media, and entertainment artists to easily showcase their work to the world. Using ArtStation allows you to have a convenient online portfolio for all of your amazing art content, similar to how DeviantArt works. From famous artists working for popular game studios to freelance artists selling art assets, you can find any number of artists with their personalized profiles and portfolios full of their work. Aspiring artists hoping to get hired by their industry of choice also use ArtStation to be their work portfolio, since the website is sponsored by various gaming companies that offer long-term job opportunities. Compared to DeviantArt, it features more semi-realism, fantasy, game, and concept arts. It provides links to tutorials offered by professionals but doesn’t feature any forum—which is still a good thing since you can avoid any online drama that way.
Take the Art Museum with You
However, ArtStation isn’t just for artists to enjoy. Casual and die-hard fans of various types of multimedia art can also access ArtStation to check out the finest works from its artist community. With the ArtStation app, you can browse through tons of cool artworks by various artists all over the world. ArtStation acts like a social media app—but one centered around the ArtStation website and meant for fans. You can browse and discover artists and artworks, like and follow them for more access to their content, create collections for inspirations, get notifications for any news or updates from your favorite artists, play and watch videos made by artists right there on the app, and even sync your own portfolio to your device. All of these seem really cool, especially with how smooth the website operates. However, the mobile app doesn’t really work as well as it should for such a popular and well-liked website. For one, the interface isn’t always intuitive. The app frequently bugs out, as well. Plus, it can be annoying to have to create an account on the app just to browse art—especially if you’re not some super fan and you already have an account on the website.
The First Site was Better
ArtStation is an amazing platform for artists, where they can truly showcase their talents and show the world what they’re capable of. However, with how the mobile app performs for most users, it seems much more enticing to just access the mobile website rather than go through the hassle the app enforces on you. The fluidity of the website itself really makes you question why the ArtStation app turned out that way.
