Animation Portfolio's and Demo Reels..:iconDemonysh: and I have been talking about things like tutorials, and journal posts about what it's like, or some of the ways to get into the animation industry. She's gone ahead and posted her side with some insight for potential character designers. You can find her journal post over [here]. What I get asked about the most is how one can prepare, or educate themselves for a career as an animator. This is a VERY long winded conversation, with many facets. I don't want to bore everyone with a massive wall of text here, so I will focus on probably the most important part. -- The part about finding a JOB (either after graduating from animation school, or coming in from another position) as an animator.THE DO'S and DON'TS OF DEMO REELS AND ANIMATOR PORTFOLIOS-= The pitfalls to avoid, and get you that job (to pay off those phat student loans) =------------------------------------------------1) Portfolios:You

Commissions: OPEN!I've never accepted "formal" commissions before, so I hope this works out. I am posting this for about a week and after that, it will be done and I'll start doing the commissions. I'm accepting 10 commissions on a first come basis. NOTE ME if you are interested and be ready to pay via paypal. Thanks! TomTERMS: - I won't start the commission until you've put the money into my Paypal account (with shipping included).- Yes, I am creating this for you and you are going to own the original art, shipped to you.-I will not draw nudity or anything I wouldn't show my wife. That keeps things simple on my side. - I WILL draw your original character, my version. - I may not have time to post sketches, so you may only see the final (because of time reasons). If you don't like it, I will give your money back (once I figure out how). Look at my gallery and decide
