/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I only watch jordan peterson ironically btw

He's probably got a higher-up friend at Disney. Industry work is 90% marketing and networking.

>>3151680
>working in Lion Guard
I'd rather die.

>>3151696
He draws since 2001 and received awards.

how?

>>3151682
>overworked and underpaid
not sure if meme words or not.

>>3151680
he doesnt draw anime
that's how he got the job
no big secret

>>3151699
he puts so much bullshit in his resume in order to look good.

>first aid certification

are you fucking serious? This takes less than a day to get.

His art sucks but he gets paid for it and he also has a family and a black belt. He's better than 99% of /ic/ at life.

>>3151715
I wouldn't want to be his friend tho. He sounds boring and stupid.

>>3151680
this (kinda) gives me hope to make it. I like my art more than his and I'm a beginner

>>3151680
I don't know, it's kind of pitiful to be honest. Would you rather be rewarded for mediocrity and stagnate, do something most experienced artists find worthless, or would you rather struggle and make something that inspire them.

might be cliché, but not everything rotates around money. As we speak there's probably a mentally challenged kid born in a millionaire family. this guy is the same to me. Also it's not that hard to make living money if you have a sliver of talent for something, but muh overcrowded market.

>>3151742
Is overcrowded market a meme? Won't people like us with a silver of talent going to make it regardless?

>>3151745
It's overcrowded with crap.

I bet he's drawing right now. Either that or fucking his hot wife. Meanwhile here I am, just shitposting in this thread.

>>3151742
Very well said.

>>3151748
Where's the crap cut off line?

>>3151701
ok but what if you love it?

so? at least he is doing what he loves ,who the fuck cares he is working at a preschool cartoon for god sake

>>3151728
>I like my art more than his
That's because you're a beginner.

>>3152056
no one is hating on him. I am amazed Disney would hire people with his skill, that's it.

Some of his gesture work is decent. He knows what to focus on and get down the most important parts.

Outside of that though he takes a slight nose dive. However, this guy does seem as though he is willing to leave his comfort zone if he has to. So kudos to him, lets see him develop more and become a better artist.

>>3151706
So no talent.

He draws since 2001 probably more.

>>3152263
kek.

>>3151680
Probably you don't need to do a lot of drawing to animate on the lion guard, its just movin a puppet around and swapping out drawings somebody else already did

>>3152298
don't you need to know about animation theory?

>>3152348
any shmuck can learn theory

???

>>3152372
was he the only contestant?

>>3152404
It's a Ben Wicks contest so the standard can't be high.

>>3152352
Why do the people working at CN prove they know nothing about theory then?

>>3152443
what? CN?

>>3152421
he even neglected the hair on the second panel kek

>>3151680
probably nepotism.

>>3152898
A profond one. The nepotism "do-er" should have at least pressured him to git gud.

>>3152372
>tfw not even an ounce of talent exists in my country

>>3152920
Canada? The guy is a french canadian, right?

>>3152928
Yep.

>>3152920
>>3152928
>>3152936
I know a whole bunch of great French Canadian animators. They just mostly get picked up by French animation studios, and live in relative obscurity because they don't know shit about getting known.

>>3152979
fuck I'm a filthy french canadian and I want to git gud in the industry. Link to some of these artists?

>disney
>year in progress

It's the magic of confidence.

Good on him. Can't believe he worked as a freelance artist, though

>>3151751
Don't know if that's sarcastic, but it's probably the biggest misconception people have on /ic/. And deep down they know it's not for the money they're doing it, but sometimes they need a reason to quit or make sense of the struggle.

>>3152898
This. though I'm happy for the guy. just hoping his newfound love for work won't end up in him burning out quickly.

>>3154137
>And deep down they know it's not for the money they're doing it

what? no. I'm ready to drop engineering for art.

if you really go into art for money, anon, you're fucking retarded.

Hi, I would just like to point out that the guy did NOT get a job with Disney, he got a job with Mercury Filmworks, an animation studio in Ottawa, Canada, that Disney outsourced the animation for Lion Guard to. Mercury is also doing the animation for the new Mickey Mouse shorts and the soon to be released Hilda and the Troll cartoon. It's a good studio, they make good stuff (though the pay is shit) but even I've been offered a job there. All of their stuff is rig-based, so if you can pose well, have good animation fundamentals and can use Toonboom, it's not an impossible goal to reach.

>>3151680
>quitted
anon...

>>3154224
yes?

>>3154222
That's nice! What are you doing now if you refused their shit pay and shit quality?
