...Because it affects my motivation and mood.... I am less active on DA and FA for a simple reasons.

So, the thing is that my guidance counselor has really disappointed me. I feel really
angry what he told me. He chose a profession which is not me (modeling 3D in video
games). He advised me that I go to a college or it gives the animation 2D. Because the
bases courses which are obligatory (French, philosophy especially) will be difficult for me because
I have a neurological handicaps which affect my language level and write a little.
But he told me that he will find something else. I was so fucking mad that I left school to take the air. I do not understand why he looks my handicap and he decided my future!

Now ... I feel totally stress for my future. It's like I have no goal in in life... In my head, I constantly fear
after I finished my studies. The problem ... there is no other college offers animation 2D in my city ...
And if I listen my heart and go to this college. I'm afraid of not being accepted because my
note especially French is not really good. They want the best like 75% or more. geez


You know,I always loved 2D animation and I want to make a career and  is my biggest dream!
movement, expression, several very detailed drawings pictures per image Gave life to the character
have always fascinated me in my childhood. That's why I draw. I want to dream children as adults.

It is true that there was a time when I have a doubt on my artistic talent.
I'm still uncertain after all that happened to me... But right now, I continue
to practice drew me. I spent one month drew the anatomy of the human body.


There is another reason that I post less art. The reason is that I am preparing
for
my first convention the artist went in! Yep, a friend gave me advise and help me
too
. I look forward to the same time stressing how it will be.

The convention
is Whatthefur

But i will still active on my Tumblr : genystar.tumblr.com/

From what I have read in animation(I want to become an animator as well)is that a degree doesn't actually do much. Yes it does help you but if you lack the skill then it doesn't matter. They search for talent based on your reels. I don't see why you couldn't make it if you dedicate yourself to it. Your art is pretty in stills. Perhaps maybe look into cheaper routes than colleges(For me the nearest school that would do it is a state over and would cost about $19,000 a year, which i could in no way afford). I'm definitely not trying to convince you to skip the college step! To me education is really important and I thought I wouldn't make it without a degree. I was devastated until I heard that the degree is just a bonus.
And if you make it into animation without a college degree then you can go to college while you are working so that you can polish your skills. That is what i intended to do...
I also have been looking into this website. It is run by professional animators. From what the site says they teach you everything you need to know about animation and help you develop your reels...
www.animationmentor.com/

I'm sure there are other online alternatives too if you are willing to look...
I hope this news will cheer you up...
