PSA: if you want to break into in character design, please at the very least have character turnarounds and expressions in your portfolio. 🙏 They're a huge part of the job and you need to actually show recruiters you can do them - they're not just going to take your word for it.

art college students: worried about finding work after graduation or how long it'll take you? 🤔😰💦 you can start the process by applying, networking, communicating your availability, etc. RIGHT NOW - you don't have to wait until graduation! 😉💡❗

if NFTs are in fact a valid way for artists to get the income they need/deserve, why're most of the people I see advocating for it already relatively established/financially stable & most of the people I see denouncing it actually under-privileged/marginalized/impoverished...? 🤔

studios will be like: "the execs need a few months to decide if the main character will be a girl or a boy, but once they've decided that, you can do the ideations, turnaround, expressions, and action poses in a few days, right?" the devaluing of the actual labour is so real 😮‍💨

YESSS THIS! 🙌 like many, I struggled early on getting my foot in the door (something I now understand is more of a process than a light-switch moment) & felt very frustrated. one day, I ran into someone with more experience completely serendipitously in line at a cafe (1/6)

For those struggling within the animation industry right now, a good place to look for work while waiting out this difficult period is to look for work in advertisements. They're always looking for animators & motion graphic designers, just speaking from personal experience.

portfolio tip: sort ur work into separate pages based on job title, not project name (esp if its a personal project). project names make great headers/flavor text w/in a page but dont describe the kind of work, which makes it hard to quickly find relevant samples for the position

proposing going indie as the solution to what's going on in animation right now has the same energy as telling working class people to just start a small business

the fact that increasingly Americans see people choosing to wear masks (not even asking others to) as paranoid and worthy of derision, but many think guns are a necessity and a reasonable thing to just carry around is... interesting

not a tinfoil hat theory - literally just Google "reserve army of labour." increasing unemployment creates desperation which creates complacency with worse conditions/wages - this is a textbook ruling class move to subvert gains made by the working class

My tinfoil hat theory is that studios are starving out animation so people are desperate before strikes can even begin in June. I could be wrong, but considering what they said about starving sag/wga out of their homes it wouldn’t surprise me.

like, genuinely how do we see this degrading workaholism turning into a job that pays enough to pay off ur loans? how do u negotiate competitive pay when all u've been taught is to be content w/table scraps for 4+ years? do u think employers will just pay u more bc u worked hard?

or maybe instead of asking "why is my art underperforming?" or "how do I make my art more appealing to perform better?," ask how social media performance actually materially affects you and why you care?

@JackaryDraws

If your art consistently underperforms on socials, you need to come to terms with the fact that it just might not be as appealing as you think it is, instead of blaming external factors. This is a lesson I've had to learn many times, and continue to have to learn. (🧵)

not tryna sound like a boomer, but is it just me or are students these days RLY fixated (often paralyzingly so) on doing things like learning art the "best"/"right" way? like, they'll spend so much time tryna find the "best" resource & then have no time to actually use it...

LRTs: if ur going to college for structure, make sure u have a gameplan for when that structure disappears in 4 yrs. structure is a very valid reason to go to college, but Ive seen a lot of ppl do well in college only to drop off the map when they dont get a job right after 🙁

"personally offended?" the ruling class loves trotting out civility politics like this whenever the working class challenges or even questions its power - "we need to be civil," "progress takes time," etc. people don't care about civility when they can't buy food, pay rent, etc.
