Has anyone on /a/ ever tried drawing themselves/making an animation

>>160294913
Of course I would like to, but I mean, it's practically impossible to do much of anything with anime in the west. The closest is something like Avatar, and that isn't saying much.
Not to mention, it's a shitty business to get into yourself. Like making video games.

Vidya has more than 2 orders of magnitude more money in it than animation. It's the largest entertainment industry, currently. Many indies make a good living

I would make a manga for shits and giggles if I knew how to draw.

Fair point on indies
I had major companies in mind, where it's usually not the greatest work ethic, hard to get into, and really make a name for yourself as an individual

>>160294913
I think that if my hobby became a job I'd end up hating it, so no, I'll stick to being a consumer.

>>160295046
Well you could do passion projects.

>>160294913
I have, sort of.

>>160295517
Well yeah, not saying you can't
I just took "be a part of this industry" as making something big that's impacting the industry.

I wanted to become a manga artist as a hobby.

But my parents cut my NEET umbilical cord and since drawing was my only skill now I draw furry and hentai for a living.

Hang in there, anon. Things will be getting better for you soon

>>160296731
Thank you, umr.

I've tried to make OP trace videos like the nips but drawing that many frames was a bitch so I never finished. Maybe someday, but animating really is terrible I can't image making something from scratch.

>>160296151
It could be worse

Post a sample. You've got to have unpublished stuff that won't make you identifiable via RIS

I have a few passion projects I'd like to make, but since I'm not actually Japanese I don't think they'd count as anime.

Anyway meanwhile I'm depressed and have no energy to do the actual drawing of frames which is the only thing stopping me.

I feel your pain, sadbro

>>160299439
do you draw too?

>>160294913
I'm much better at writing and (probably) directing than I am at drawing. That's why I became a software engineer.
