I was wondering if the IFX forums could have a spot where artists and employers could post for jobs.
Could be tremendously useful for some of us looking for art related work and commissions.

That's it, just a simple idea. Not even sure if it's been asked already.

Fab idea. Although that could mean a lot more work for our mods!

 

They have it too easy right now anyway, I think it's a good idea, particularly if they're posted by genuine employers instead of random people who want to pay you in order to skin a model because they're too lazy.

Yeah, the mods need to watch out for folks like that if they do make a jobs page >_>

I think the moderators can manage (I hope). It would be incredibly beneficial to the artists that use this site. I mean, that is the point of all this, so that artists can more easily get work. Right?

While at first it seems like a good idea, I then take a look over at CA's job forums and think that it's kinda nice here not having all of that. Just a bunch of us self-proclaimed artists...and some of us don't even do that...sharing various things, some of which aren't even related to art. I also think it would be too much to expect our volunteer mods to police the job forums enough to keep things "better" and even that would be subjective.

Wizard's First Rule

If you build it, they will come?

99% of all classifieds on forums like this are - "I've got this sure fire idea to pitch, but I can't afford to pay anyone. When it becomes a big success, we'll split the profits 50/50. Anyway, you should be thanking me, as it'll be a great opportunity for you to be seen by some influential people."

you know what, i don't think it's a good idea, sorry solomon, i know what you are trying to do, but i think it would bring new people who are just going to fill the forum with there promo's hoping to get seen, it will also bring rip of employers, i really don't think it would benefit the forum, apart from the few elite, who are probably quite capable of getting work anyway.

As it is we have a friendly (generally) forum, i think we'd lose that. I personally feel like DA & CA don't have anywhere near the quality of IFX & i think it's because alot of people there are just looking for work.

this kind of thing is catered for elsewhere, in abundence, I dont think we need it here, it would add an extra dynamic to a community that exists for the sake of art not pay.

"what do you mean...I stopped thinking, therefore I disapeared?"

What?! You disagree with me?! How dare you!! *Falls on ground frothing at the mouth with seizures*

 Boo hoo hoo. 

Actually, I was just throwing it out there. LOL. it was just a suggestion. I guess it won't work in this neck of the woods. 

I genuinely thought it was a good idea, but I guess there's too many issues involved with it.

just remember t oo, there are people on these forums who have gotten work because of these forums. so I don't think you need a dedicated space to promote it.

"Live life like a fantasy. Reality is only in your mind!" - Fabledgoat

Hi All,  I'm pretty new in concept Art, I have designed in the construction industry for 8 years but always been an artist at heart.  Losing my job with the recession last year I decided to freelance and try to break into concept design.

Its not easy getting in touch with the right person/company who could use you... I think a devoted page/forum discussing upcoming projects - seperated from all other forums would be a good solution?

fates_fickle_finger (or anyone) I was Just wondering if you would'nt mind posting a few links to the abundant forums advertising work were as I would'nt know where to look? 

all the best
