So here’s the deal — we had a last-minute gap in our pipeline for a keyframe artist, and I was scrambling. One of our leads mentioned trying Devoted Fusion because they supposedly help studios hire fast, like within 72 hours. I was skeptical, but gave it a shot anyway. Put up a brief, uploaded some references, and now just waiting. Anyone here actually managed to hire someone that fast? Or is it just wishful thinking when you’re on deadline?
Yeah, I’ve pulled it off once, but the brief has to be really clear and the budget realistic. I had a turnaround gig — prop concepts for a mobile game — and found someone in like 2 days using the Smart ArtFeed. It matched a few portfolios right away that totally fit the style. Didn’t even have to message a dozen people, just picked one who had similar work and they responded super fast.
I’ve just been browsing the platform here and there, mostly to get a feel for how freelancers structure their profiles now. Some are super polished, others more rough — kind of depends on whether they’re full-time freelance or just moonlighting. The whole vibe feels less corporate, which I like.
