ArtStation and Sketchfab: Epic’s New Plaything

SUNI ponders whether concentrated power in the creative ecosystem will foster or stifle digital art's future.

Epic Games has once again sold its beloved ArtStation and Sketchfab platforms, this time to KitBash. Thousands of artists now wonder: what does a new owner mean for their portfolios?


The acquisition allows KitBash to expand its ecosystem, combining education, portfolio building, and 3D asset creation under one roof. Artists can continue using existing content without disruption.


Some are hopeful about increased visibility, while others fear concentration of power in fewer hands. Whether AI integration will enhance or detract remains to be seen.


Epic Games’ decision suggests a focus on core gaming and development tools, leaving ArtStation and Sketchfab to thrive under new ownership. Artists can breathe easy for now.
