As someone who is very active in the #vfx and #ue4 scene/community I'd like to share some things that might be helpful :) If you have a lot of followers, are active in the community, and know many people trough networking please consider supporting others in that community.

RT/share their work on social media so more eyes see their work. Its a huge confidence boost, and gives them the energy to go on. they'll meet new people that way too. You dont have to be friends or know the person that well to do this. Just be friendly and supportive!

A simple like/love/rt not only encourages them, coming from an artist whose work they admire can keep them motivated! Additionally this shows you care and makes people remember your name.

they might mention you when people look for artists or need help solving problems. Sure you dont have to solve all their problems (especially not unpaid) but a little bit of advice or a nudge in the right direction might be a job opportunity later.

Be supportive to newcomers who want to learn the same trade as you. You dont have to take them by the hand, but dont crush their dreams/be mean. If you give criticism make it constructive, and ask them if they actually want advice/criticism. they might not be ready for it yet.
