thank you

machine learning & greed

her name is frederick leopald fazbear

I’ve been thinking about just entering the cyber security industry to make that bag so I can go indie for animation🤭

Nice! Thank You!

My art teacher in high school was just let go of because I suppose my school is cutting cost, but it’s just really disappointing. I’m almost done highschool, but I am going into STEM and I am really disappointed since I feel like the art market is getting really really small.

Just looked up the disney a.i thing. It does nit say anything abou replaceing artists and animators wholesale but mentions something about it being used in the parks. I find itvery very difficult to belive they can replace everyone. A.i needs data and only people can make data or the a.i becomes inbred. This is why big shitty social media companies keep scrapeing people's images. The future looks like a balance of a.i and humans. Studios that replace everyone with a.i are going to shoot themselves in the foot. What we are seeing right now is mass adoption and experimentation.

One asks the question. If these greedy prats replace artists with a.i then all thier shit is going to start looking the same. Saw someone with a a.i generated tshirt the other day, ot looked like shit, had errors in it. The shit being done is so generic that it begs the question. If these creative industries are not doing anything then what arre they doing? They are not providing a service.

Everywhere is cooked, no one is hireing, anywhere

I’m glad someone is finally talking about this issue! It’s really difficult, here in the UK too, to find any illustration jobs. A few yearsfrom now, everyone’s probably going to be running their own businesses and living in camper vans, because they have no other choice. 😭😭 New sub here btw! ✨✨

ABSOLUTELY right about debt. A lot of artists get suckered into an art school that they can't afford and learn skills they could easily attain freely (or much more cheaply) online. Speaking from experience here lol. Loved my time in art school and use those skills today, but I know many of my colleagues who wasted time and money there. Indie is the way to go! Content creation, freelance and small studios is the new creative field where "made without AI" is the new "certified fresh" label for content. All the BEST games that people rave over now are AA or made by a team of 1-3 people. The demand for art is there, it's just not in the AAA. I suffered through GDC from 2015-2019 and I can say that even before covid and AI the art side of the game industry was cutthroat. Politics, drama, elitism and as you mentioned, the push for foreign outsourcing were all the rage in the AAA studios, and in-house artists there were considered completely replaceable. And as far as work-life balance lol, not really a thing in the AAA. I'll also say what many may be afraid to admit, but the NSFW field and anime and furry fandoms are absolutely worth looking into if you have the stomach for it lol. It's not everyone's cup of tea for sure, but I've never had a bad furry client. They have a huge respect for creativity and artists, pay relative well and always on time. Also almost every industry artist I know has worked with the furries at some point in time. There are many downsides, but overall I would say that NSFW and furry art is a cleaner and more honest business than AAA studios now, with more demand for artists and longer term security against things like AI/automation. But I'm obviously biased as that career path has worked out pretty well for me. It still takes years to establish yourself in a fandom. And it still takes a ton of time to develop a business plan and mindset (hugely important), positive reputation and more importantly skill. Its a slow start for any beginner artist. I personally started taking commissions for 10$ an hour 15 years ago. And when it comes to supply/demand - fandom artists are in huge demand, where as you mentioned, Studios have so many to pick from and rarely need to hire for entry-level. Cons are a great way to network and get some income, Crowdfunding can work out well if you've established a reputation, and things like vtubing/streaming/youtube are the best nowadays. Like you said, this is (in a way) the best time to be an independent artist so long as you don't fall into a debt hole. As for buying a house... I mean that's kind of impossible no matter how hard you work now when it comes to the cities. The only thing I can think of is to work remotely and find a really cheap area to live in which was what I did. It's not as hard as you might think but working remotely has it's downsides as well, mostly social like being far from family. Great video, really touched on a LOT of the anxiety around the games and film industry right now for artists.

Why is the limit for layers ONLY 12 ?

This channel is amazing

Ive had this RUclips channel since I was in middle school and I'm starting to get to a point where I think it's all I have left.

lived happily in nyc for the past decade on less than 30k a year - most years closer to 20k, some years less than that.

If you find yourself regretting your art degree and wish you'd gone into something "practical" like IT, I've done that, and let me tell you: the grass is just as dead on the other side.You'd think everyone needs IT, but no one actually has an IT department anymore. It's all either a subscription cloud service, or serviced by the manufacturer, or outsourced to another company that'll be looking for someone with your particular stack of certs when hell freezes over.

Career advice for young people. Either go to a trade school (electrician, carpentry, HVAC, etc.) or study for a field that’s pretty stable and makes a decent wage (STEM, professional degrees, etc.) Do art as a hobby or a side hustle. You’ll thank me 4 or so years from now. Who knows, you may have a thriving art career by going this route, but at the very least, you’ll be financially secure and still be able to do art.

Concept artist? It's 2024 Visdev is the new art slave job. Also living in NYC I really don't think you need 100k for a single person or I wouldn't be alive. If anything I would say you'd need 60k for a single person and that's being generous- the rent prices are ridiculous - unless you're trying to live in the center of Manhattan the prices for a decent place is like $3k per month (which I would never pay- I pay wayy less for a lower quality of life honestly). Lastly Indeed is notoriously known for being flooded by bots and one employer told me that Indeed doesn't even show the employers your resume if you easy apply. I usually do not like black pilling content because you can find 1000 examples of anything you want on the internet, but you showed the logic of why art jobs are going the way they are, they hired too much during covid and was betting on an upward trend only to be bought back to reality when their bets didn't pull through. It's rough for most every industry out there and it's quite worrying.

So back in 2010, I was in a similar situation looking for an art job and ran across a lot of jobs that were out of my experience level or I didn’t have the skills. The key is to apply for them and see if they will interview you. If they look at your work and you can show them you can produce results for them then they may be willing to compromise on the extra skills listed. I was unemployed in 2017 after a layoff and it took me 116 applications just to get a job back at Starbucks. It took about 9 months and if I was willing to compromise I may have gotten a job sooner than that but my ego got in the way and my pay requirements for what I thought I was worth.

You have to remember most people hired in IT during hiring frenzy were just bad devs, etc, who skated through thanks to either easy online interviews or dei agendas.

4:15 ok see violet = purple and what you called purple = pink? 'cuz for me purple is the in between blue and violet / violet itself per se a subjective view ass you mentiuoned in the end of the vid XD Also thanks for the amazing tips, I tend to no strugle much with choosing colors, but the value and saturation tips really helped

100 applicants ain’t that much for what it’s worth. Having hired for professional roles throughout the years, tons of unqualified people apply for roles they have no chance of getting.

I’m building a online store for indie creatives

Honestly this felt like a breadth of fresh air for me. It’s an unpleasant reality but at least we are being honest about the situation rather than having some hustle “self made” snake oil salesman telling me that I should try harder or buy their course. I honestly felt behind but seeing everyone understand the struggle of chasing art feels like I’m not alone. Though I’m in the “fuck it we ball” mentality. I am lucky to have support so I can work on my stories.

you use balck language because it is superior to your Whiteness. Zoomers know they are inferior

Ask Biden and the illegals taking your jobs

Unfortunately this is not a passing situation, this is the endgame of a system designed to enrich and protect a very small number of people. There are a few things the average person can do, get out of any expensive areas, do not take on any ongoing debt that assumes stability in a long term income, form a community with capable friends. The system will change but only when people with nothing to lose, lose it. You don't want to be one of those people.

I got lucky and am grateful for the job I have.

Hey Janelle, just discovering your content for the first time. Really excellent analysis and some really great stuff. Let me know if you’d like to do a video where your followers can ask an Art Director (Over 25 years exp) in the games industry their burning questions.

Art Director in the game industry. 100% accurate. This girl gets it. Anyone wanting to get into games industry, learn on RUclips or skill share you don’t need a fancy degree, you need a kick ass portfolio.

Further evidence that the youth of this generation will have to overthrow the oligarchs. Luigi and UHC CEO were just the first.

I've been stagnant in trying to show off my art to at least attempt commissions on the side. I'm thinking my brain is too comfortable and i need to 'burn the bridge' by quiting my day job, so the urgency will trigger me out what could be laziness, depression or executive dysfunction. Might be a combination of all 3. Lol But im scared if i would end up more miserable than working my usual day job.

Please don't use any Adobe products, thanks :D

i recall seeing some data a few years back, about how the majority of professional artists do not come from an art background, but other fields of all sorts, ranging from professionals in engineering, medicine, all the way to less skilled jobs such as retail, or sanitation worker. It was something huge like 80ish percent. Perhaps just get whatever job you can to keep a roof over your head and continue pursuing art in your down time.

Degree is meaningless, but they say to go back to school. They say there’s no discrimination, but, there is. They say you need more experience,but have too much. 2008 anyone? Welcome aboard.

That one chick ion the video asking "can I have a job that is not shitty?". So she needs to pay bills but is too entitled to work a "shitty" job to be able to pay her bills? lady, there are tons of people out there who have to work shitty jobs to get by. If ur too good for such a job, then maybe you are the reason why you cant find a job...

Just a response to some points made around 19:25. Payroll taxes go into funding social insurance programs like Social Security and Medicare, programs that most Americans will need when they reach retirement. It’s a kind of pay it forward idea where we pay now for those in front of us and those after us will pay for us. They have been essential in helping to alleviate poverty in seniors which was a big problem in the mid 1900’s. If those taxes were abolished an employer would never pass those savings on to employees, they would pocket those savings themselves, or in the case of large corporations , pass them onto shareholders. If payroll taxes were abolished it would only line the pocket a of the already well off, while not giving any wage increases to labour but leaving them in a more precarious position in older age. What this generation is also struggling from is mass conglomeration. Mergers, big time. In this age of few very large corporations, employers are no longer forced to compete with each other for workers, further pushing down wages. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into believing cutting business axes helps anyone but capital ownership. The struggle is real, there needs to be an organised push back along class lines against capital greed. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. Nice video. 👍🏾

It would be cool if a bunch of laid off art people got together and made there own lil indie company but that would take a lot of time/money

I definitely like the last bit of advice. DIY might be the most promising future

Uh.... the art job market has been cooked for like a century and a half now... You should look at what happened to portrait painters after the photograph was invented... 150 years ago give or take. The whole market has been little boom and bust markets that don't last more than ten years since then... and now they don't even last a year. We were already well-done and then A.I. just walked in and turned on the furnace to make sure we were cremated. I have an art education degree and I graduated in 2016 for context. The concept of the starving artist is an ancient tale as old as time.

6:31 - Can confirm - I live in Manhattan and work as a full time freelance live action storyboard artist for TV commercials. I make 90 - 130k depending on the year, and even though I have a rent controlled apartment, it is still a struggle to get by. Not only is it state and federal taxes, but in NYC, you pay CITY tax as well and if you're a freelancer, additional tax to cover social security. So 1/3 of total income goes to tax. Then you have to get insurance, mine is about 1000 / month, and rent of course, then food which is already more expensive in NYC and inflation has made it worse...

My Future is doomed. 😢

I started a RUclips channel and am currently illustrating my own picture book. Plus I got myself a Patreon account and selling custom brushes for Krita. We will make it somehow 🙂

this video refreshes my soul

Millennial senior level graphic designer here who graduated during the Recession. Breaks my heart to see this generation going through the same thing we did and asking the exact same questions: "How can I possibly have 1-3 years experience at an entry level job?" "How do I even get experience if no one hires me?" "So I'm underqualified at this job but overqualified for that job." If I can offer some advice: Try to get as much freelance or contract work as possible." It's not ideal, but it builds the resume. As annoying as it may be, we're jacks of all trades. The more creative assets we can create, the more valuable we are. I'm a graphic designer, but I also do web design, social media ads, email templates, landing pages, motion graphics, (and that's not even print stuff). Tools like Canva and Adobe Express can help you take a single design functional across other areas of media. Network, network, network both online and offline. LinkedIn is your friend, but your local community is still critical. Do NOT be afraid of AI. USE IT. USE IT! USE IT!!!! Back when I was starting out, it was web design; it could either automatically take you out of the market, or it can solidify your place in it. Figure out how it can enhance your skills (even more than an employer) and make you more proficient. While some companies might use it to hire less professional artists, others want to hire a professional artist who already knows how to use it for the company's benefit. And here's a BIG option you guys got that we didn't have: Screw the Man and make your own damn destiny/company 🎉! The how-to channels RUclips now has were pretty non-existent in the early 2000s, so your Gen has a plethora of free knowledge we and our parents never could've imagined. Don't learn so you can have a boss. Learn so you can be YOUR OWN BOSS. I'm not going to lie. It's REALLY hard starting a creative career in today's climate. I graduated and '09 and didn't land a "real" job until '14 doing various freelance stuff while barely making enough while working at warehouses and occasional retail. Stack that on top of a student loan, it's so easy to feel absolutely hopeless. But don't despair. While some doors have closed, SO many more have opened up to you that we didn't have. Find out what those are and use it to your advantage(s). Rooting for you all ❤️!

You know what's weird? During the 2009 to 2012 recession the video game industry was popping off. Yes we lost some companies like THQ, but games were still coming out left and right. Sony alone made/published more games in 2011 than in the last four years combined.

I wasn't even able to find an internship at a game studio for my last 6 months of education, which was meant for me to get experience. Because game studios only wanted to take interns if they are already looking for a new employee.

Theres plenty of jobs laying bricks. gotta wake up at 330 am tho

Your best bet from now is to go indie. If that doesn't work at some point I'll just get a wage slave job while I do indie lol
