I don't normally post much about what's happening in my life or what goes through my mind, mostly cause I'm scared of what people will think and also because I believe my day to day life can be a bit dull. I mean, I pretty much spend most of my days either animating or drawing and lately, writing. It tends to be a bit repetitive, even if what I'm working on is different from week to week (mostly in the animating side it is).

However, in the past few weeks, I have been seriously considering my future. As some of you may know I'm in my third and final year of studying at Freelance Animation School. In 13 weeks (counting my two week break after next week), I will graduate and my diploma in 2D animation. It's a little daunting in a way. I will not have the comfort of a classroom and teachers to help me when I'm struggling or their reassurances that I'm actually doing it right and that it doesn't look as horrible as I think it does. Nor will I have the financial backing of the government via student allowance. I will be searching for work in some form or another.

I don't usually talk about this much, but I love dearly to have my own animation studio. In fact, I have already started planning it. It's called Wolf Studios. (I'm so original... not). I would love to animate Fox Fire and would probably make it into a series of sorts. However, animating your own stuff takes time and a lot of your own money. Although, my studio would primarily be for animation, I know I will have to take on a part time job (or, if luck has it and I'm short listed for Flux, do temp jobs for other animation companies). I want to do freelancing as well, but being realistic with myself, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

It's kind of frustrating in a way. I see people who are worse than me artistically and get flooded with commissions just by saying they're open and when I do, I get nothing. Not even a whisper. Even when I offer them for dirt cheap. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. It confuses me and in a way frustrates me to no end. It kinda makes me feel like I'm not good enough or something. I know I'm underselling myself and even doing so I can't even get a nibble. The fish just won't be baited, it seems.

On that note... I don't even know what I should charge or a picture. You're welcome to suggest what you think would be a fair price. I was considering making a visual price guide for people, but after the pre-pose commissions not even getting any notice, I don't know.

But yes. 11 more weeks of study (excluding holidays) and I'll be going to FurCoNZ. It will be good to catch up with people I haven't seen in a long while. Afterwards, I will be moving. I'm moving back in with my darling kitty, Raknar.

I'll just stop typing now. I'm rambling. Will probably delete this later.
