Dude what? That's what made cghub so fucking great in the first place. That their front page was always displaying work of much higher quality than you'd see on the frontpage of Deviantart, Artstation or CA.org. That's what I always loved about cghub, to just f5 the front page and find amazing new artists who I've never heard of before without having to wade through an ocean of shit to find them. Especially chinese artists who usually only post on their weird blogs.
How neat is that.

Not that guy you're replying to, but both on cghub and artstation I kept/keep clicking on the same say 30 artists again and again. I stopped finding "new amazing artists" after a few month of browsing it. Same with artstation now.
Also CGhub gold awards were a joke with animu fanart and shit.

This, after awhile you see the same people over and over again. It's definitely not a constant influx of new amazeballs people day after day. I mean christ 50% of that page is Rigneys stuff. (not literally)

Why would you want something that shows all the shit tier people? Like it or not if you want to make it in the games/entertainment industry and have any level of career longevity you need to be working your ass off to get as good as these guys, not stay on the DA shit tier. You need to be seeing this sort of work all the time to see where the top pros are going and what sort of basic styles and levels of finish are in demand, not ignoring it and pretending it's not there.

it doesn't have a forum

It's called the Anti-FengZhou technique

I'm inclined to believe that's actually a good thing in this day and age. Everyone's pining for the glory days of CA.org, but they don't seem to get that was a long time ago, with a much smaller and more insular community, at a time when you could still give serious critique without DA/Tumbler toddlers and raging Dunning-Kruger egomaniacs crying that you're being mean to them.
I think you're honestly better off just getting a small circle of art buddies, 3-5 people you get along with, and having private hangouts, Skype sessions, etc to support and critique each other.
>>2249759
Looks about the same to me too. Practically the same layout design. these websites are essentially a cool kids club
>>2249753
i love the channels option

I'm reminded of snapesnogger, thanks for the amusing memory anon.
>>2250023
I don't remember any bad animu art on cghub to be honest. Only fairly good ones and Kronprinz.
I'll admit from outside this looks promising.
However what you really want (besides the front page rubbing it in the hugboxy faggots' face how much they suck and need to improve) is a quality forum/other means of communication with fellow users. Any reviews on that part?
Also, I'm picking up some weird vibes from cg+ stats. Could this be astroturfed or was the domain bought and repurposed lately? And if it had old steady torrent of views as an Ukrainian website before changing hands why aren't solid numbers documented? I guess they might be disabled (which doesn't tell us anything) or they're recent enough that the machine didn't count them yet.
Look at this 2 hours in mspaint masterpiece to see what I'm talking about. I'm not a webdev or anything, but it's interesting.

how the fuck is artstation rank 6,304 in the world? there's absolutely no way that that's accurate.
>>2250649
Artstation as expected has great polish photobashers traffic and chinese demigods.
Drawcrowd's 16% of indian visitors sound fishy too though.

That made me kek.
artstation is the best, prove me wrong
>>2250670
it has no forum
>>2250649
cgplus is made by the same web developers who made cghub, and they are based in ukraine.
>>2250939
Could someone relay me the story of how cghub went to shit? Were any of these guys responsible?
Never paid attention to this stuff untill now.
>>2251029
the fact is that noone knows except the guy who owned cghub. these guys were just the developers, they had no power over anything. the owner just took the site down and basically said that it's not coming back and he's never gonna tell people why.
>No more CGHUB.
>Sad day. Project CGHUB is officially closed.
>The reason behind this extremely tough decision is personal and will remain private. It’s absolutely not connected with business or any kind of technical difficulties.
>>2251037
Wasn't there some forum drama and vigorous "moderation" beforehand?
I recall people saying years ago cghub lost it's way.
