meridart-deactivated20180416: 24 is too old and I should have an steady job already or I'm still fit to pursue a proper art career? It's an obsessive thought that won't leave my mind and I always end up not knowing where to start at. Thank you and sorry for the long ask 3/3
Hi there! First off, there is NO age limit on your dreams. There is no set schedule or deadline. Everyone is different and they each forge their own path in the world.
If you want to focus on concept and storyboarding, do it. It’s my recommendation to have a portfolio for each as you may be using different portfolios to apply to different positions. It helps keeps things easy to view, and lets them focus on your skills for that position.
For example– you should have a portfolio specifically geared to storyboarding for a storyboard position, a concept portfolio for concept, and you get the idea :)
I hope this helps– please don’t let your fear of not having an art job by a particular age, control you. Don’t let it occupy your time. That would be better spent focusing on making your skills better and your portfolio better. You will ALWAYS keep getting better as long as you try.
Knowing where to start at can seem daunting, but maybe try this, as I found it worked for myself. Take a look at your work. You wanted to focus on concept and storyboarding, so start putting together two collections of work. One for each of those disciplines. Now you have your work sorted. Once you build a basic portfolio for each, you can now see where you stand.
Once you have a basic portfolio, you can now improve upon them. When you create new work, keep these portfolios updated and you can remove old work that is no longer up to par, and put in your awesome new work. Rinse and repeat. Keep only your best work in there.
If you cannot find an art related job, there is no shame in taking another job for the time being to make sure bills are paid. You have to ensure you can take care of your basic needs :) When you’re not working, you can study, and improve upon what you love doing. In doing that, you will improve your skills, and abilities. With this, you can improve upon your portfolio. It can be a bit of a process, but I did that for 4 years after I graduated. Eventually, it paid off. My work got better and I was able to get work in my field.
I hope you can free your mind from the fear, and use that power to help drive your passion for your art. I always thought of it this way: I can either mull over it, or actually get up and do something about it.
There is no one path to get somewhere in the industry. That’s excellent. As long as you keep working at it, you’re making progress. There is no age limit; your skills are what matter. There is no shame in taking a job in something like retail and such, to ensure you can support what you love to do. Your dreams are worth it. Your passion for your art is worth it. Along your journey, you might discover talent you never thought you had. The arts are surprising. You can make progress as long as you keep working at it.
You’re rad. I know it, and you know it. Go take a look in mirror and remind yourself of it. And remember– it’s always a work in progress because you’ll always be able to learn and get awesomer :D
I hope this helps! Let me know if I can elaborate on anything :)

Sorry that my blog is nothing but TFA and Hamilton now, she lied
psa: artists: please do not do not do not DO NOT submit pitches to Tokyopop or apply for their POP comics app.
They’re at it again and hilariously bought a shillpiece from Vice, which is filled with the funniest revisionist history lies (claiming to have been the first to introduce the AKIRA comic to America is my favorite, because fuck Epic/Kodansha/Dark Horse amirite)
Might be a good time to re-read and pass around this article as well.
And for fuck’s sake, anime cons, stop inviting these parasites. They’re dangerous. And stupid.
Real interesting. Keep an eye on it fellow comic artist and stay safe.
Heads up!

Personally I think this would be dumb as hell if two of the main black characters in Star Wars were related but there are theories floating out there…

Lando and Finn- Discuss below, yay or nay?
Nay. Although it would be interesting to learn where Finn did come from.

I’m so pleased that “tousled hair” is an essential aspect of this outfit that needs to be included in the official guides.
All part of a grand tradition of these DK Star Wars books. Like Lando’s “winning smile”

“Your art makes me feel bad about my art” is not a compliment
ono I see this every so often in some of the reblog tags on of my posts and tbh, I feel terrible when i see it! I never intend for anyone to feel bad or discouraged!
It took years of practice and dedication to get to where I am now as an artist. I didn’t get here in a matter of days or by just “believing” in myself. I actually worked to get to this point!
Please dont make an artist feel remorse over their hard work. Instead take it as a note of inspiration! You can get there too! Art is a pursued craft! You get better as you work at it!
bOuOb Dont give up!
