Should I try to make a living from internet animations?
2 weeks ago by Steinberg
Hey newgrounds, I quit my job a while ago because, well, I was working basically the whole day and getting the equivalent of 370 dollars per month... That's a little more than minimal wage in my country, it's not a lot to be slave of work.
So, I want to know, from you guys that made it or know someone who made it, is it easy? is it possible? am I good enough? should I try pursuing it?
You know, I really like animating, and I would animate on my free time anyway, but that means I would only have time to make like two animations per year if I balance it with work, and that's not much, and I love to create, I love to tell my stories, and living off the internet is the only way for me to be fulfilled and happy, plus, being paid in dollars, wich is more valuable than our coin... I'm not a sellout or anything, I just want to turn my passion into a job. So, I'm doing it without expecting a lot, but I want to know if it's worth to pursue it or if I should get a job again, but I can assure I will do it with love anyways.
I still have to upload my newer animations on youtube, but I think this one shows the different styles I can make: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvDYrptis5E
And here a example of something scripted I did: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/595970
I know I can do better, it's just that I havent worked on my new projects yet.
Also, don't worry, I will never abandom newgrounds :)
Unfortunately I cant make a living off newgrounds as I can off youtube (I think) =\
And, you know, I have my bills to pay...
So, should I go for it? Is it doable? Am I good enough? Do I suck? =P
Sorry for my bad english and convoluted text, I'm on sleeping pills =(
Also, thanks! :)
