just how much traffic is conceptart.org getting anyway? check this out.

[Jason Manley]

Artist exposure is key for the community and below are some numbers which will give you an idea of how many people see the art here on the site. To put this in perspective, Cinefex Magazine has only 35000 subscribers every three months. Many other big magazines in print do not get this kind of traffic. Compared to some of the big websites like myspace, we are a drop in the bucket, but the traffic is focused on our niche. I think you should all be proud of what we have grown into.

Amen onionface

[Jason Manley]

Hey Jason, now I'm confused why my User Tagline had to be changed? I guess you just have amazing humility.....

hahaha...i have no idea....that looks like davi to me...just a guess.

[Blue]

So what kind of corvette are you getting Jason?

[_Mario]

Ok, I am not that good with knowing all the video game companies but are Factor Five and Factor 5 not the same?

...thnx...jm

[Jason Manley]

So what kind of corvette are you getting Jason?

ca is my vette man...it doesnt make money...it costs money...just like that car would.

this is vunderbar! thank you, thank you, thank you. i recently had an unclothed figure (a Lucy Westenra interpretation) removed from Image Shack with no warning, rather thought it a bit prudish. fewer such issues with CA, i imagine.

linking to the uploads will be restricted to CA display, correct?

[Interceptor]

Damn Jason.. aside from these workshops and everything. I think you need those T-Shirts and Books made up. I'm sure everyone would LOVE to purchase a bunch of em, especially to help out the site.

This is my school, my 2nd home

I love you.

[Undefeated]

Definite congrats to the guys who keep pouring their money, time, and love into this site. I'm sure you guys know how much it means to all of us, and we all appreciate everything thats being done. I guess numbers like those must be pretty damn satisfying to the folks who put their sweat into make ca.org what it is.

[Undefeated]

And yah, t-shirts and books!

[strych9ine]

Direct uploads of images. Very cool man, this site is the shit. Nice work fellas.

[Madman!]

Hey while your at it Jason I have these really big school loans to pay back....just kidding Man that's insane what you're doing. I tought paying like 10$ a month to host my Joemadfan site was doing a lot..man that's amazing what you're doing thanks.

[Craig D]

Those hard drives will be awesome,
in the past we have lost some killer artwork to Mr big red X, but no more!

Thanks Jason

[N D Hill]

Awesome stuff. It's been so cool seeing conceptart.org evolve over the years. It seems like so much potential is being realized and given the quality of the members, it'll be amazing to see where they take it. If you guys need any help you should let people know. I'd be willing to help out if you can think of anything.

[-ThePenciler-]

I'm an aspiriring artist and i'd like to get noticed by some of these big corporate names i see here. Is there a place i should be trying to post instead of just my sketchbook?

try participating in the weekly activities, i think they get fair views, and it's a good place to build skills around working to a concept brief.

can't pass up the chance -- thanks again, Jason, for the goodness that is CA.

Same here. It's the very LEAST I feel I owe you.

[Xpose]

I don't think there really is a certain place to post to get noticed. Put out quality work and the attention will be given, I'm sure of it. Thank you Jason! You are the man! Almost like the ultimate talent agent. I knew there was a lot of traffic on this site but didn't realize it was that much! It's really hard to put into words how dope this is going to be.

[Death]

Aye . I'm a newer member here, but i have been visiting here for a bit. Seriously awesome community. Thank you Jason, and Thank you ALL for being awesome! . And aye, If any help be wanted, I'm sure there are plenty, including me, who would gladly help! . Just axe!

[Jason Manley]

the community activities and tdome are great for getting noticed...the main thing is to show a consistent level of quality over a range of subjects...also being a good person on the forums so you build a reputation as someone who works hard and is easy to get along with. thats why i get down so hard on peeps who troll the boards....if you are consistently showing good work in the finished sections or the community activities then you will be found.

for example...jason chan...he was discovered by mb here on CA. We had him in two days ago to interview. Same goes for steak, kei, wes, and many others. It isnt just mb tho. JPTargete found by ncsoft here on the boards, MCotie made his way to the industry through this site, and many many others...just gotta be hitting hard and keeping visibility high. Those who truly work hard and put their heart into their work will be noticed.

The new tech we are working will help as well. Thumbnails in the forums for the threads (ala cgtalk), a new mainpage incorporated into community.conceptart.org with member spotlights...and more.

[Pixeldragoon]

ALRIGHTY CHAN!

Manley, deepest respect. I have been working as hard as I can, I will even hopefully be doubling up on academics in my 3rd highschool year, which means instead of wasting my time in my senior year, I will graduate early and be able to attend Flynt's Atelier instead! Thank you... Thank you SO much. Type can't really express it =\ Sorry I won't get to thank you guys in person at the workshop either. I'm sure I'll see you all soon enough. Later >=D

[romance]

Thanks for everything Jason.


I'd be more than happy to make a donation to help out with the CA purchases.

The fact that you will be hosting our stuff tells me that it would be an 'investment' worth making.

Just PM me if I can help.

-Rob

[otis]

Wow J! I remmember when you first told me about your idea to start this community! I too am proud of how CA has developed.

Your on your way to become one of the most influencial art educators of all time! Great staff, great school and great community!

Keep it up!
