How does Fusion (by Devoted) speed up the artist vetting process?

Fusion streamlines the artist vetting process in two key ways: by providing access to pre-vetted artists and by offering tools and information to quickly select the most relevant artists for your project.

Fusion Pre-vetting Process:
  1. Tailored Invites: A dedicated team identifies and invites experienced artists to create an account and submit their portfolios.
  2. Artwork Review: Art Directors specializing in various areas (e.g., 3D, 2D, VFX) evaluate each asset submitted in an artist’s portfolio. Only artworks scoring 4 or higher (out of 5) are displayed in the Artfeed. Each asset is tagged with a category, style, and level of complexity, which also determine the artist’s seniority.
  3. Compliance Verification: All artists on the platform must create an account with Stripe for identity, country, and payment details verification, as well as to determine the necessary tax documentation.
Fusion Vetting Tools:
  1. Art Feed Shortlists: On the Art Feed, you can shortlist your preferred art to review artist options with others at your studio.
  2. Shortlists Information: In Shortlists, you can view all saved artists on one screen, alongside with critical information such as country, software skills, full portfolios, style competencies, rate bands, and availability.
