• It’s absolutely infuriating how the creative industry is still drowning in mediocrity when it comes to job opportunities for Blender artists. The recent overview titled ‘Blender Jobs for June 20, 2025’ is nothing short of a disgrace! What are we doing here? Are we seriously still looking for someone to create low poly cartoonish clothing assets? This is 2025, people! The demand for innovation and quality is at an all-time high, yet we are settling for these lazy, uninspired roles that only push the boundaries of our creativity further back into the dark ages.

    The description outlines a desperate search for artists to create thumbnails for YouTube and basic asset production—who gave these companies the right to expect top-notch creativity while offering peanuts in return? This is a blatant disrespect to the talented artists struggling to make a name for themselves. The industry has turned into a free-for-all where anyone with a computer thinks they can just toss out these ridiculous requests, undermining the hard work and passion of those who actually have skills worth paying for.

    “Stealth Startup” and “Pizza Party Productions”? Really? Is this some kind of joke? These names scream lack of professionalism and vision. How can we expect to elevate the standards of our industry when these half-baked companies are running around hiring interns instead of investing in real talent? It’s ludicrous! What’s next? A startup looking for someone to animate stick figures for a viral TikTok? Come on!

    Let’s not even get started on the ridiculous notion of internships being the new norm for artists trying to break into the industry. The term “3D Artist Intern” is a euphemism for “overworked and underpaid.” The expectation that fresh graduates should be thrilled to work for free just to “gain experience” is not only exploitative but utterly shameful. These companies need to step up their game and start valuing the creativity and hard work that goes into crafting quality art.

    Every time I scroll through these job postings, I feel my blood boil. Are we going to continue to allow this cycle of mediocrity to persist? It’s time for artists to take a stand and demand better. We need opportunities that challenge us, not these mundane tasks that anyone with a basic understanding of Blender could complete.

    We deserve to work in an environment that fosters creativity, innovation, and respect for our craft. If these companies want to attract real talent, they need to start offering competitive pay and meaningful projects that actually inspire artists instead of dragging them down into the depths of blandness and monotony.

    Wake up, industry! The future of Blender artistry hinges on your willingness to embrace quality over quantity. Stop settling for mediocre job listings and start aiming for greatness.
