Insight and Peace of Mind

Before the art nest, I felt lost and clueless about the state of the industry. I saw nothing but layoffs, artists struggling to find work, and a lot of worried posts from experienced artists on LinkedIn. So, I started to feel a bit hopeless. Tim has restored my hope by helping me reevaluate my art, explaining how to align myself with production needs, and giving me the tools to succeed! It honestly felt like Tim peeled back the curtain of the industry, showing us what’s going on and why a lot of artists (even seasoned artists) aren’t finding jobs. His insight provided clarity and peace of mind for me. The Art Nest has helped me to focus more on design, storytelling, and problem solving than just rendering. I strongly recommend any artist having issues finding work to check out the Art Nest.

If you're stuck in your artistic career, he's your man.

I can't be enough grateful to Tim and the Art Nest: I've learnt more in 5 weeks with him than in years in my art school. And I've recovered my fuel and motivation to keep improving.The fact that when the proper mentorship finishes he's still there giving you feedback and helping to find a job, is a big game changer compared to other mentorship/courses.Also, the Art Nest community is incredibly supportive and nice. Tim spends more time with the mentees that you can imagine.Totally worth it the price.

Definitely worth the money

Definitely worth the money. Tim is an awesome teacher, and his passion for the subject, along with the time and effort he invests in his students, shows that he truly cares about people achieving results and the future of the Art Nest community.

Develop skills to aid the production pipeline and get hired!

Before taking this mentorship, I felt lost in my career. I believed my work was lacking something, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it, and I had no idea where to start. I began searching for a different kind of mentorship experience because I was tired of the typical format that focused solely on Blender techniques, especially since I was already familiar with about 80% of the information being taught most of the time.What caught my attention was that this mentorship took a different approach. Instead of just focusing on technical skills, it provided solutions on how to organize and create effective designs to support the 3D production pipeline. The business insights were also incredibly valuable, something I consider one of the most important aspects of a career, yet often overlooked. Developing business skills is essential for success. This mentorship filled the gaps I felt were missing in my journey.I highly recommend it! Beyond the mentorship itself, there are many perks, one of the coolest being access to the Art Nest community, where you can network and collaborate with other artists.

CONCEPT ARTIST COMPLETE PACK!

This is one of a kind mentorship which clears every aspect around concept art. You'll acquire all the knowledge you need to navigate through the entertainment industry.Right from the start Tim will help you build a plan and in the end you will have a clear vision of your future and what you will need to do to achieve your goals.I found his analitical approach really helpful and I enjoyed his way of teaching, letting the students find their answers, despite being followed along the way.One of the things that make this course unique is the business side, which was super beneficial for me to learn. He talks about EVERYTHING regarding this topic.Tim help each student during every stage of the portfolio building and, as he promises, he'll follow them even after the mentorship to help them finding a job.During the weeks, aside from videos, you'll also recieve tons of resources and schemes which were a great addition to assimilate the knowledge more easily.It surprised me his commitment to follow each student and the amount of time he dedicates to help them. He's one of the kindest person I've ever met, who also managed to create a community which reflects his qualities and which is a warm place (as a "nest") where people share ideas and help each others.It's a must-have, especially if you struggle finding the right way to break into the industry!

THE mentorship to build a portfolio and get a job while learning about the business side of the indu

I should have written this review earlier, because Tim’s Artnest is to my knowledge the best mentorship covering not only concept art but also the business skills needed to navigate the industry. I can say I have learned more in these past months than in the previous years. Tim is genuinely one of the most dedicated, passionate and supportive mentors I have known, who puts an incredible amount of work and investment towards his course and students.The 5 weeks course is barely the tip of the iceberg. You are also getting access to feedback and support while you work on your portfolio and new content that Tim keeps adding such as videos/webinars about the industry, resumes and cover letters, job interview preparations, etc. In just one year, the amount of extra resources that has been added is substantial and I can only imagine what it will be a year from now! For this price it is a real bargain.Some fair warnings though as there might be some hard pills to swallow concerning the industry and the mindset needed to succeed. The Artnest does not pretend to be a magic trick that will instantly give you your dream job. See it more as a mindset and a guide with the tools, inside knowledge and mentoring needed to get a job in the industry. But this is a marathon, not a sprint, and the work necessary might feel quite daunting. A certain level of skills is required to join the Artnest, and you'll learn how to become more and more autonomous as you work on your portfolio.Finally, you’ll meet a supportive community through the Artnest discord server: what you get is a network of artists sharing the same goals and that you will very likely meet in your future art career. Tim and the community is what will allow you to keep on going without giving up. I admit I'm quite of an introvert online, but every time I posted a question or had a doubt, I received more than expected help from the other students and from Tim, who goes above and beyond with every single student.The Artnest is worth every penny and I definitely recommend it to anyone wishing to work in the industry!

<3 Very accessible cost and thot provoking class! <3 Good fundamentals and portfolio strategies!

It was great to be in a room with creatives and work on foundations for a good portfolio with a sound strategy! n___nIts a lil confusing and frustrating at the start but as all new skills are acquired, its just some growing pains.Sketches that I did as practice for this class got me a job! [legal says that this DOES NOT guarantee you a job haha &gt;:D ]BUT! It will definitely set you on the right path mentally if you got the gumption and drive in you! &lt;3

Life changing concept art portfolio crafting

The most accurate description of this mentorship could be “a beacon of hope in this awful industry situation” to know what could improve our portfolio to get access to jobs. The fact that there’s an actionable analysis process and “plan” (no spoiler) will help you regain control of the process/portfolio which is really positive and good for morale/peace of mind. Class format is really nice and dynamic and helps to get the ball rolling. In addition to the portfolio crafting support (and continuous feedback) given by Tim, he’ll help you understand the process of application in detail, help you with your CV and being more diplomat. Tim also goes all out to improve the content of the mentorship following discussions and data coming from collecting industry insights. There’s also the community. You can come and see with the free course and the Discord link if you’re curious, I do think it’s helpful.Do I regret not having taking this course before I did? Definitely. The results are there. If you feel lost you’ll learn new things and it will change your life. Getting help of the community you’ll get where you want to be in the end.

The no bulls**t guide to enter the industry.Tim is a great mentor and gives his 200, if not 300% in order to really make his mentees reach their ultimate goal. He's always trying to bring new resources, new learing material, new opportunities to the table and you can really tell he does this because he REALLY wants you to make it in the industry.He's not focused on making money from this, but he's really focused on giving you real, simple, comprehensible advice on how to grow as a professional, and his attitude is like the one of a friend.The fact that the mentorship has limited spots further proves how much value you can get out of this, as he does this in order to make sure that he has sufficient time to dedicate to his mentees

lighthouse in a stormy night

I was feeling lost and overwhelmed, not knowing what the heck to do with thousands of possible directions to go to .. but Tim (even with the first video) showed me where I was wrong and where to confidently head without hopping from a random tutorial to another ... I am currently crafting my portfolio with the help of his free course and will apply for the mentorship when my works are ready for junior level!
