Scrolling through ArtStation’s “picks” section every week since the site’s founding has allowed me to make a number of observations about the entertainment industry and the artists who adorn it with its echoing aesthetic. Today, we only have time to talk about one; it seems that there is only a handful of “trendsetters”. These are the artists who can post a new artwork and watch as the community produces hundreds of pieces that were inspired by (or copying, depending on your point of view) their vision. This chain reaction paved the way for a peculiar relationship between aspiring concept artists and the industry they are striving towards as it is often defined by a game of catch-up. But there are others who, like the Old Masters, find inspiration through introspection and first-hand experiences in the world.
