MISTER INCREDIBLE AND FROZONE

I log on… I spam post….i embarrass myself….i leave

I tried a little animation of blooming flowers in old anime style, with blur and shitty resolution, hope it works as intended !

I am being so serious when I say: if you have the financial and time privilege to get a group of friends together and make an indie project, PLEASE do. Indie games, indie animations, indie comics etc etc

the art industries are kind of in the shitter. It’s not so much because of AI (though that doesn’t help) but because studios just aren’t hiring people and funding projects anymore. People who’ve been in the industry for decades are finding themselves struggling, and once you have a mortgage or kids it’s harder to do something as risky as making something on your own.

completing projects is hard. it takes a lot of time and effort, and most people can’t afford it. so if you CAN afford to make art, even at the risk of no financial gain, I strongly encourage you to be as resilient as you can. We’re at a point where these industries are not going to turn around by themselves, and waiting for jobs to open up again in order to get experience and portfolio work might not be realistic.

people have been making art and telling stories longgggg before we were getting paid for it, and people aren’t going to stop just because no one has hired them to do so.

for everyone else: support indie artists when you can!!!! That person who made that cool indie game or youtube animation or webcomic might be doing this full time! your support might be the only reason they’re able to keep doing it.

and if you have already started an indie project: you’re so brave and I’m very proud of you!!! in fact, drop a link to it in the reblogs if you want! 👇

I will also say:

this is what networking is!!!

if you’ve been looking into these industries, you’ve probably been told to ‘network’, but sometimes it’s hard to know what that actually means. “Doing indie projects for fun with your friends” is 100% networking!

I had already been planning to form an animation studio with ~20 of my classmates to do a project over the summer, and today my professor just let us know he may have ???? already hooked us up with a real actual job ???!!?!! SO SOMETIMES IT PAYS OFF!

Thanks to everyone who’s posted their projects in the comments!!!! I hope everyone gets the chance to look through and find something interesting!!

And here’s a tip for everyone who’s worried about finishing: HAVE A *DEDICATED* PRODUCTION MANAGER!!! aka preferably someone not doing art on the project! The importance of Production Managers are SO understated, they are the ones who create schedules and enforce deadlines and manage assets. The more organized you are the better!

here’s to 25 <3

making art is just like showering………can’t get up and do it, can’t stop when you’ve started. you want to crawl out of your skin if you don’t do it often enough. everything in the world is the exact same

He’s helping
