Uhhhh... can you say that again?
So I noticed you have a BFA and I'm thinking of pursuing an art degree and possibly getting a BFA myself once I graduate high school. I'm currently a junior, and doing stuff like AP classes/college classes, attempting to build a portfolio to get a possible scholarship, and stuff like that! I want to know if it's worth it, and I'm specifically planning to go somewhere leaning more towards the animation industry. Stuff like character design, storyboard artist, and ideally an animator. I know its kinda weird asking literally a stranger on tumblr, and I understand animation isnt your expertise, but your art has been a big inspiration and I've used it to help and improve my own art skills!
DAWWW I'm honored you're coming to me for advice!! I'll try to do my best and give you for full run down:
WHAT YOU'LL WANT TO DO PRE-COLLEGE:
I try to tell this to anyone who is thinking about going into college - if you have the sneaking suspicion you have any form of mental/physical illness, PLEASE try to get it diagnosed and treat it now. College acts like a sort of stress-test to your body with all of the new changes it's introducing. If you have anything underlying, it WILL exasperate it. For example, after my first year of art school, I had a bad mental breakdown and couldn't draw for the entire summer because of how burnt out I was. I wasn't medicated for ADHD yet, so I spent sooo many nights doing all nighters and sleeping mid-day bc I couldn't start tasks that I lost the ability to do an all nighter again. So many of my classmates dropped out/failed bc their bodies couldn't cope and they didn't know how to course-correct and treat their issues. PLEASE, go get medicated before it really starts to matter!
Regarding your AP classes and college credit - excellent! It's good that you're starting now, because it will save you so much money lol. In my case, I had the options to either a) cover the class entirely and take the next class in the sequence, or b) have it cover the cost of said class, but still take it. I chose the latter bc I was told it was good to learn what your school considered it's fundamentals, and I don't entirely regret it lol. Something REALLY important to do now, though, is look at the schools your applying to's websites and check what college credits they'll accept. Art schools, since they're private, are infamous for not accepting a lot of college credit lol. Most likely, your AP art credits will cover your first 1-2 intro art classes, your AP Lit/Lang credits will cover a few of your required writing classes, AP Math (ex. Calculus AB) MIGHT cover a required math class, and anything else will filter into your misc. credits. So please, check their websites, and if they don't have it, email the school directly. Pester the right people until you have a solution! As an exercise, check out CalArts' transfer credit policy and see where it takes you. This is also an important time to look at their course sequence, aka what classes you have to take to get a specific degree/major/etc. This is what ppl on tiktok always yell about when discussing their career advisors not telling them they're missing a credit. While some blame is on them, that is mostly YOUR responsibility to take care of - career advisors wade through hundreds, sometimes thousands of students: they're GOING to miss you if you did not specifically request their help. Again, CalArts course sequence exercise for y'all. (As a cheat, go to page 107 for art course requirements. Here's another easier to read page as well, though most of the time you'll be scanning pdfs lol)
Regarding your portfolio - also excellent! It's both good for scholarships, and as a requirement for many art schools. If/When you submit a portfolio for either a scholarship or a school, my biggest advice is this - go onto the school/program's website and check their specific portfolio requirements if you haven't already. The biggest reason students get their portfolio rejected is because they didn't follow the directions and thought it was a "suggestion" lol. For example, my school had you include very specific drawings, like "draw a realistic shoe in perspective" or "include at least one page of figure drawings from observation". As an exercise for those of you out there, try reading through CalArts' portfolio requirements. If you have the stomach anon, try attending a portfolio night at your school, in the community, online, or with a professional artist you trust. You'll get some good feedback if you're worried about the quality of your work.
Regarding scholarships - awesome!!! Keep applying to a bunch of them, even ones you don't think you'll get, because it'll save you so much money!! Also keep in mind that there are all sorts of ways and paths you can take to save money and do college your way. For example, my old high school college art program professor took a bunch of community college classes to cover credits (since it was cheaper to take them elsewhere than the art college), and took a job as a firefighter for a few years before going in. Another example, my bff decided to spread their credits across 5 years so the course load wouldn't be as heavy, and they could work a little more during the week/weekend. Just know - if you need a gap year of need to take a less usual route to better save money and preserve your sanity, do it! And start thinking about it now, so you and your parents can come up with a plan to best financially support you. My tuition must've risen by like, $1000 every year due to inflation and bullshit, so plan for some financial pitfalls and emergencies.
COLLEGE:
Make the most out of your college experience by attending classes, getting to know your professors/communicating when things go wrong, get along with your classmates, and go to guest talks/career/industry events. Obviously don't burn yourself out, but between building your portfolio and grades, NETWORK!! Oh my god, network, be in the room with people you want to work with, talk with industry professionals, meet new people, get your name out there, NETWORK! It is one of the MAIN ways you will get a job in these industries. People always talk about how art is a career/industry for asocial people when that is the BIGGEST LIE in the world! Build your social skills, learn how to talk to people, it MATTERS A LOT!
CAREER BREAKDOWN + WORTH:
Considering worth, it really depends on what specifically you want to do. To be completely honest with you - TV/Movie animation and Game is very competitive, and the industry (specifically tv) is in a rough spot post-covid, and may stay like that since we're probably heading into (if we aren't already in) a recession. If you don't know what a recession is, research the dot-com boom/bubble burst, and the 2008 economic crisis. The AI boom is looking strikingly similar, so do keep in mind that you wanna make some smart financial decisions whilst pursuing your dream.
If you're looking into character design/storyboard artist/animator routes, here's what I remember from college:
Character Design: SUPER competitive. You'll often need to know both good illustration practices, and 3D modeling. Need to be good at iterating a lot of different ideas in a short amount of time, and be able to listen well/understand your art director's design rules.
Storyboard Artist: Also VERY competitive and fast paced. You'll want to study anatomy and figure drawing, and get really, really good at perspective and understanding the camera/good composition. You need to be good at drawing fast, and drawing well. Positions in the US is small compared to Canada/Europe, and the pace tends to churn through people within a few years. If you love it, go for it, but have a backup plan for if/when you burn out. Pay is really good, but at something of a tradeoff - you'll get paid a very good salary, but you'll need to sustain off of it for a few months in-between contracts. VERY central to California and Canada, so be prepared to move.
Animator: Depends. If you're a 2D animator, that doesn't really exist anymore in the US outside of small niche projects - that's become your storyboarding position. You'll need to move to Canada or Europe to find 2D work, and you can bet they're probably going to prefer citizens over immigrants for the position, unless you're being sent over by contract from a company. The only real 2D cases I can think of that I see listing for near me are like, motion graphics. If you're a 3D animator though, you're in luck! TV/Movies/Game/Marketing are always going to need a good 3D animator, especially if you have a niche or 2 your competition doesn't have. This can look like Character Animation, Creature Animation, VFX systems, Cloth/Simulated Animation, Tech Art, etc etc.
I know this looks... grim, but that's the current state of the industry, whether we like it or not. And, from my experience, your interests may shift around the more you explore in college. I went in wanting to be a character designer and animator, absolutely hating painting, to becoming a concept artist/visual developer, and having some interests/strengths in art direction and character rigging. If you do go to an art school, try to keep an open mind. Don't pursue something just because it'll make you a lot of money, either - your dream matters. Just know it might take a while to get there, and/or it may not entirely be what you expect.
If you wanna go indie instead and do your own projects/sustain off of commissions and the like: A few years ago, I did an experiment at a big convention - I went up to every independent comic artist and illustrator I could talk to, and asked how they sustained themselves, and I got roughly the same answer: I have a main money-making job, and I do my passion project (comic/illustration/animation) on the side, usually because it doesn't make as much money. To a young person it sounds bad, but as someone who's in this position now, it's not inherently bad. It may not be my perfect job, but I don't have to stay like this forever. I can apply to anything or change my path, go corporate, etc etc. Point is, you don't have to pick one thing to do forever and stay like that forever. Keep an open mind, and explore.
Ultimately, go do what you love!! You may have to work harder to get into specific paths, but with enough skill and networking, you'll be okay! For now, keep doing what you're currently doing, get those scholarships, build your portfolio, and apply!

BITCH I WILL FUCKING CUT YOU
YOU’VE ANGERED THE WRONG FANDOM
You’re going down punk, just you FUCKNG WAIT!! You will learn that this fandom is far worse than you will ever want to know. We may seem soft and shy, but we’re just being NICE! We can be cold, cruel, mean, and make you suffer and wish you had never said what you said. We can send you into the farthest most empty reaches of the galaxy, summon demons to our disposal to make you suffer, and make you feel the feelings that we experience, and don’t fucking think for a single goddamn second that’s easy! The amount of emotions that would boil inside of you would literally kill you. So keep your motherfucking distance and we won’t hurt you, so stay the hell back, asshole. If you so much as insult us one more time, we will bring firey hell upon you and bitch slap you into oblivion. Your move, dildo.
We know how to kill a human and hide the evidence. Your body will never be found, and that is a promise.
You do realize a majority of the fandom are 20 somethings right? or at least in college. We can find you, kill you, and make it look like you killed yourself. Don’t try us :)
Shut up. We can exorcise a demon from you faster than Dean and Sam, believe me you need it. We can toss you into a supernova, never to be seen again, or banish you to the end of the universe where you would explode to create a new one. We can murder you and destroy all evidence of you ever existing. Basically- D-O-N-T-C-R-O-S-S-U-S
This is like finding a lost family heirloom you’ve been hearing about

September 6th, 2014
im having a lot of fun drawing my fav freaks into photos can you tell
i hate him he reminds me of my childhood fear of water and weird habit of breaking electronics
tis the season
More Deltanova art cuz I love @nakakabaliw au so much I made a little maus oc too ✨✨
Get given a giant tungsten cube idiot
Uhm uhm can we have toxichero hcs
Sure whatever I'll go back to my roots.
Too bad the roots are getting old -
TOXICHERO HC
This is gonna be sloppy, art by me
I like any versions of it,romantic,bromance,queer platonic,just friends
My favourite however has to be queer platonic.
They don't care if they're romantic or not,both, especially Griefer,just want to be together in the end, in the same world, spending time together, living together even.
They wrestle and compete a lot and they have fun doing it. Sometimes player lets him win so they can look up at him with half closed lovey dovey eyes and a soft smile
Griefer is bitchles but also tries to look cool so at first he was getting flustered st the idea of being corny but then the longing caught up to him
Both started out as hella fucking insecure:
Griefer not having a relentionship before, potential aro/ace spec too. Also my Player is older by 3 years so he might or not also get a little intimidated by that
Player being anxious obviously with the whole time line shaningans,but also Player not being their true selfes,its the gulit at the start since theres no feat,hatred to one self that they fooled him to love the fake empty them,that when they'll come ,if they come back and are back to normal, he won't like the real them.
Both started catching feelings when Player cured them and they noticed each other outside of battle. Player fell first if say, before he got cured,but Griefer fell harder. Perhaps they were already gay and griefer fell first actually bc hatred aint that far off love,but idk, realistically i think I'd happen when he got cured.
Griefer the longing guyyy,both of them are but Griefer is off the charts,he thinks about them a lot and wants to be useful to them. Stays loyal for 15 years,down bad.
He thinks Player is so cool and pretty and handsome etc he feels intimidated,but like hell he'll still try even if a little
Griefers asexual and maybe arospec , didn't feel anything before for anyone until player came along and this weird strong bond happened between them
Both rail each other up but also control each other. Player being able to tell Griefer to knock off the shit talking abut also Griefer being able to let Player be greedy and eat that another plate of sushi/j
Griefer pretending to be cool and not bothered by them at all,but hes kinda bad at hiding it.
Griefers a show off meanwhile Player can be just naturally cool and that riles Griefer,he likes it but grr let him be cool too
To me they won't ever have children at all but the best i can imagine is when older, finding a teenager and adopting them kind of. Or,and my fav option, becoming pet parents
Monty and thanyiel parrarelsss
i forget everything when writing these headcanons so have pleafy say it
@plocktales
Ignore the j's they're spitting bars
In my case they're both big backs when it comes to their favourite food,and will eat anything probably. Player literally eats WORMS.
Player being the sushi devourer beacuse why not and Griefer,we know Griefer,man is probably eating cakes like apples/j
Griefer has never been the same after Player came into his life, someone who gets him,somone he gets etc and he wishes to know more about. Again HE WAITED THESE OVER 10 YEARS
Griefer would cheer and be happy whenever he learned something new about player,like, even what music they like, he's just as hypes as we are to learn about them, perhaps even more.
Boards....skateboard... surfboard....land...sea.... I don't know exactly where im getting at but....land...sea
This is more of a griefer hc but his tail sways/wags when seeing Player especially close and/or happy. Some flowers bloom on him and also he might start purring :3c
Player has no ass ,flat as a board both sides,but Griefer doesn't care. He likes all cake, even the flat cakes 👅/j
Griefer meanwhile is a fatass i mean look at his diet , doesn't mean fat ppl can't do sick flips tho, You've seen my art.
Post time skip where Player retires from fighting and just wants to rest and Griefer helps them slowly get used to slow monotone life again instead of being constantly on a rush
Player having nightmeres about being suddenly thrown into another mission in another time and place, because when they got to Bizzvile 2010 ,they woke up in terrys bed. Griefer comforting them and helping them sleep. His purrs and vines curling around them help
Griefer sometimes also gets nightmeres of losing player but they're not as common
Their engagement would go like that one krusie animation. Casual. They planned it for a while. Griefer finally bought the ring, they're eating burgers or something while he pulls it out, casually just eating burgers. Player casually puts it on and as their mouth is still chewing they nod. They smile and then give a quick peck on the lips.
Them teaching younger generations how to do self defense
Mayor Griefer needing help with math and Player providing lmfao
(back to 2010) Player teaching Griefer stuff, lying that they're uncommon knowledge or specifically things from their region. They're sharing slang so they don't look like a moron when accidentally using it
Mayor thanyiel nr 1 toxicHero fan and Griefer isn't spared.
Player drawing Griefer in their free (lol, imagine having free time) when hes not with them or not watching
Very my playerish thing since my player was a niche celebrity before getting blocktaled but Griefer watching and following them on their social media,he misses them like crazy and wants to reach out,but theres no use since they don't remember him. At least hes happy to see them again. He's their nr1. Fan
When he noticed the news Player is retiring after the whole thing at the convention he cheered but also got concerned because that means they're alive and trying to reocver but also clearly knows they're probably not well(they're not) he still has to wait a little bit,but they're sooo close
When they reuinite,fuck, just stop beating around the bush and kiss already,you doomed anxious gays
Kyoko knows Griefer is gay for Player and shes also no help/silly
They both find each other so cool awawawa
Two sides of the same coin my favourite trope
Both are insane fucking geeks/nerds i mean Griefer is clearly a cards fan of this slime goop thingy in his room. Player not sure yet, I mean they like art and PROBABLY did fanfication/silly
Griefer is insecure about his looks most likely especially post venomshank that's why he asked PLAYER if he looks good. Player finds him as fine shyt but they can't let him know that,they got work to do/j
They feel horrible for getting attatched to him and getting him attatched to them,but yet they don't push him away. Hmmmmmm🏳️🌈 anyway yeah they're afraid he'll get hurt in the process,and ik they summon him for fights,but when it'll come to sacrifice they'll be the one for it, not anyone else they like.
I feel like Griefer would try to pay tribute to Player and try to keep their momery as long as possible,the idea of forgetting them scared him. Perhaps he also would pick up some sort of art, either keep it privetly or share it with some people
I like the idea of the town thinking their Mayor is this cool guy that teaches kids self defense and wrestlers with people for fun, but also a weirdo who is very into the robloxian hero.
He invented self shipping/jjj
The idea of Player coming back was kind of his motivation in life to try and be the best version of himself and try his best instead of being gloomy in his room all day
Seem like the type to have an online game wedding ngl
They don't care what they are,as long as they're together in the same life there happy
Stealing each others clothes and accessoriesss
Sappy idea but Griefer plucking off a flower off his bush thing body whatever and putting it in Players hair
They might be married for 10 years but still call each other punk and bro
Speaking of pet names, Player would come up with the stupiest ones for Griefer. Like Bradie,Flower Boy, Longer(as in longing), punkass,babygirl,little meow meow,princess etc just to fuck with him
Griefer calles them P sometimes for short
They both bully each other into taking care of themselves in 2010, Player torments him to finally take a shower and take out the trash and Griefer torments Player into washing their clothes or drinking water finally. The irony for both of them
Griefer gets hella worried about Player and probably has noticed their bandages on their right arm going up and up, never taken off and he gets worried but Player insists its nothing (its bad)
Player cooks in this relentionship but sometimes they're lazy and they go for fast food. Not that their food is bad,they know basic cooking, it's pretty good,but listen, weren't we all too lazy at some point
Player is banned from driving the jeep in Griefers supervision he was scared for his life when they drove together. He drives
Griefer likes to bake sometimes and it was a skill he didn't really tell anyone about or did a lot
Stealing the headcanon that the gorilla is Griefers friend that helps at everything. He forgot deodorant? I got you bro. Forgot flowers? I got you bro? Forgot wallet? I got you bro
Player uses feel fine when they're about to make out with Griefer/j its like their version of using mouth spray to freshen their breath before kissing. Although Griefer might need it more actually/j
Their dynamic in short is two very close bros that act a little gay
Idk what else ive been rubbing my braincells for 3 days
Enough of IcedTea ,,I fucked your dad Brad,,
Where's my :
assimilation out here thinking he's the top who lied to him
as soon as feargeyt6774 gets muted in chat Andre starts attacking Assimilation which could mean nothing. or, it could mean that the admins literally suppressed Andre’s ability to fear to get him to keep going.
listen, I’m hooked on the whole “his chat is actually his psyche” thing given that three of them are clearly id, ego, superego, and by extension the other one his conscience. I just think it’s neat and I’m completely normal about it.
I’ve seen 3 different ship names so far including the one I made. Well. 4 if you count people adding an extra M to the one I made. Which seems to be catching on. But. Why are there two Ms
