I had all these scenes and stories I came up with and replayed time after time again in my head since I was a kid. I really wanted others to see them too and to make them feel what I felt.
Animation is fascinating and it seemed like the most precise way to convey what I see so I stuck to that.
I know I'm naive but it's the only way I can stay on the path.

Furry porn.

I am aware it's a terrible reason.

[Anonymous No.3462314]

Ever since I saw the lotr bonus dvds, I wanted to create worlds with a team of like minded people, on projects I can be passionate about. Concept art was my way in. I got to a point where I got offers from several studios, two of them well known. I even had the chance to work on a movie.

But my mom doesn't want to sell this huge property she owns and she forces me to stay there and take care of her and the property. I'm 28 now and it's been 8 years living like this. I'm horribly depressed because I was never able realize my dreams even though I worked my ass off and got to where I needed to be. My mom just doesn't give a shit and I'm morally obliged to stay because she's got no one else to take care of her. At this point she's getting senile too so there's really no hope for me left. Each year I'm getting more depressed. I don't know what to do. I just smoke weed all day, freelance a little and try to escape with video games. This is not a life worth living and I have twenty more years of this (according to when her mother died) hell to endure before she dies and I can finally begin living my life.

sorry for ranting

Just get a maid service and have a counselor/therapist come in

It sounds like you guys have some money, so the best option would be to hire people. That way it gives you more time to do things you want to do, and it gives your mom professional help.

I know it's not /adv/ but this is easily the best solution. Get on with your life knowing that your mom will be safe with a few professionals.

[Anonymous No.3462343]

I can't afford that shit, m8. Her maid service alone would cost me as much as my own living expenses. I already looked into it and no concept artist salary pays that much. My country is very heavy on the elderly side and maid services like that are incredibly expensive because of that. In fact the demand is so high, there aren't enough people available to take care of all the elderly. Also a lot abuse stories going around since practically anyone can work as a takecarer now because of the demand.
Sadly the property also bleeds money and I have to chip in all the time. I'm pretty poor if you don't count the property value.
My dreams are gone, I have to learn to deal with it.

Aaah shit that sucks dawg. Maybe there's an art job that allows you to work from home? Or perhaps find something with a little more pay but sacrificing art (like a management position or an art direction position)? Maybe start freelancing?

when i was 8 my brother showed me flash on his school laptop, I was amazed (mostly by the tweening). I almost instantly became obsessed with animation. after 4 years of none-stop animating (on a touchpad...) my passion would soon branch out to vfx, filmmaking, photography, music and art.

Cats have an instinct to reduce population of critters to help avoid over population, they also like the taste. Why do humans eat chips and burgers? It's tasty and a nice treat every now and again. But the reason nature made cats behave that way despite being fed is to help balance things out in nature.

[Anonymous No.3463678]

Song birds can be overpopulated too, you compete idiot, did you skip biology class? We have way less predators than we used to, so cats are very important to keep around. If "harmless" songbirds overpopulate, they will cause harm to nature. If one thing overpopulates, the the whole ecosystem will be ruined. Why are so many people these days retarded and never pay attention in class?

>Imagine being this stupid AND arrogant.

There is no balance in nature anymore. Cats have ridden the coattails of the human race to become a planet-wide plague on local fauna. They've been introduced to countless biomes in which they have no place. We feed and house them and then they go outside and hunt, because it is in their nature to hunt. But since they have no need to conserve energy, since they get fed anyway, and no predators or natural stresses to keep their numbers under control, they kill and kill and kill. I have never ONCE heard an actual biologist indicate that the presence of outdoor cats is in any way beneficial to the environment.

ANYWAY, good job derailing the thread by analyzing my simple analogy to death, idiot.

I remember being about 2 or 3, and sitting outside under the plum tree at our old house, and my father teaching me to colour inside the lines on a picture of a leaf, and I guess I just never stopped drawing. I create because I enjoy creating and have for as long as I can remember.

There was no moment where I consciously decided that I wanted to, no sudden artist that inspired me, no instance where I made any sort of commitment, or anything like that. It has always been an always and I don't know what I'd do if I didn't do it.

Ever since I was a toddler so like 3, I had autistic schizoid fantasies about characters and settings, and I draw them to imagine scenes as if they were from a movie or animation. There are sketchbooks from my early elementary school years filled with just drawings of magical girls (with loli/yuri overtones) and some anthromorphic animal characters which weren't exactly furries (I wasn't interested in anything else back then, but I draw more varied subjects now). I never wrote down any of my ideas because I was worried someone would find them and think I was autistic, and also because I don't know enough about history or literature to not unintentionally write something retarded or unoriginal. So I draw in order to fulfill my imagination and because other mediums like writing or music don't come to me as naturally, and I've not consumed enough of those other mediums to develop a taste in them. I want to create pictures to illustrate what plays out in my mind but have never actually completed a piece because anhedonia and its consecutive lack of motivation constantly make me question why I'm even doing this, though being repulsed by the idea of being severed from images keeps me drawing random doodles and shit. Some day when my temporality is continuous/uninterrupted I will resolve to dedicate a vast chunk of my time to improving my art skills, knowledge, and style, and self discovery of visual preferences.

Back when I was an idiot primary schooler I wanted to make games. This meant drawing "game designs" in a lined journal, since I had no concept of how to actually make a game. That eventually turned into just drawing.
Anyway, when I was around 12 I got the Warhammer Fantasy 5th edition Bretonnia vs. Lizardmen set, became obsessed with it and, unsupervised with internet access, did a google image search for "lizard men". Long story short now I mostly just draw animal people fucking.

Shut up, cretin. It still shows your analogy was shit because, even if that is true, cats originally had a reason to kill, but you never had a reason to draw your autistic furshit garbage none cares about.

Spider-Man. Specifically, Rick Leondardi's run on ASM, around the 250 mark, I think. I was three years old, read the issue with the golden building and then with the Goblin's truck, and just really loved the art.

Of course I was drawing before that, little squiggles n stuff, but that was something always in the back of my head to inspire me. Now, I draw because I have little moving pictures and jokes in my head that I want other people to see.
