A friendly bit of advice: If the feedback you give is like this, don't give feedback. Especially don't position yourself as someone who regularly gives feedback, and advertise it to students and juniors to get them to do spec work for your exploitative company.

All 3D Softwares suck! They are built to make us work! Don’t fall for their shiny tools! They are only here to tether us to our screens to move imaginary points in a made up space. Our screens are 2D and yet we work in 3D ever thought of that?!! We are fools! Fools! 😱

This year was really great for me. I’ve been trying to become environment artist for 5 years and never got the title until I joined Epic this year. I’ve always just been “artist” or 3D artist” but it feels really goodto be appreciated. Might be a bit stupid but means a lot to me

Also you don’t have to join an exploitative server to get feedback. Most artists I know will happily review your work. Just ask (what kind feedback you want + images/link) Some are busy, some forget to reply (*looks away) but generally we’re all here to help each other out! ✌🏻
