A little animation I made
An incredible artwork
things like pay can be discussed privately, i have no idea where to ask for these things
Feel free to provide feedback.
220+ frames from the new Dune movies stuck into my Dune book. I ripped some pages when I was removing the frames after, do not recommend using blu tack!
I saw this a few years back and decided to add a new soundtrack to it. It's very eye opening and animation quality is inspiring
I made this to test out hair and earring flow in my character. Pleas let me know what you think I should work on.
im a former animation student and i use flipaclip for all my works (mostly because im not really that used to graphic tablets) however im not sure if i may need to use a more complete app and im thinkin to switch to rough, is it good?? if it user friendly what are rhe pros and the cons?? i mostly use flipaclip because i can rig my characters thanks to the lazo tool that helps me to do some sort of cutout animation, can it be replicated in rough?

Lately, it seems that the animation industry is sick, or at least losing its luster. I don’t like the idea of being on a computer all day or working on some artless movie or TV show. The corporations work you to the bone, and most of the time, it's just another mediocre TV show or movie. And you spend so much time on a computer that hand-drawn animation has become a thing of the past.
I feel like much of the industry has flattened creativity, and I feel very sad. God gave me the talent of being creative, but I don’t know what to do with it.
I want to live a life where I can maintain my upper-middle-class family lifestyle, but I am also a man who runs on passion. But with the cost of living increasing, I do not know what to pursue. Unlike others, I cannot run on financial motivations alone; otherwise, I would be an accountant or engineer.
I originally planned on attending animation school; I got into a few, but not the best ones. I also just found that I was not interested in being with just artsy people and wanted friends of other backgrounds, which is why I went to Chico State, which has one of the best animation programs outside of an art school.
However you have to take a bunch of GEs and prerequisites before you can take an animation class, and I want to know if the career is right for me. So now I am majoring in international relations, an interesting but not very profitable skill. I am also thinking of going to trade school and continueing to write my novel or produce some indie comics. Maybe if they suceed they can make it to the screen.
I feel hopeless, angry and depressed. I don't want to be a loser.
How can I keep my creative spirit alive and productive as the world economies change?
