What's up everyone for those of you who didn't know I was doing an intership in NY, at Animation Collective. Now for the bad news, I only did it for three days and I had to give it up, reason being it was way to expensive. I was paying 50 bucks a day for three days a week and on top of that I had car payment , car insurance, phone bill, gas and I'm doing all this working part time, my job had cut my hours. I felt like shit when I gave it up, I didn't even want to draw anymore. Then I was planning on going to the Wizard World convetion in Philly and have some of my art work up, I was going to use the stimulus check but that when down the hole when I found out that I was only getting half of what I thought I was getting, so it turns out I will not be able to make it this year at all. After that I didn't even draw at all I didn't fell motivated so I just played Twilight Princess and tried to forget it all. I just fell like everything I try just never works. But I'm slowly getting back in the art by doing sketches of Link, so very soon I'll post up some new work. For anyone out there who are also going through struggles, never give up skies the limit.

Yeah, just to back up Julius...EVERYONE is struggling. I'm really struggling financially and I'm still trying to crack the industry shell! Hopefully I'll have my new demo reel finished by the end of the summer so I can hit up nyc for a job. But don't give up Hector, your work is awesome and you work very hard.

...I think the struggle will make it sweeter for all of us. God has you.

I hear that much man :petting: and sorry you had to give up the internship. Seems like these are really trying times for everyone. But you just fight back, because you know your art deserves the limelight, and all of us admire it :#1: I'm sure there are a lot of places that will welcome you with open arms.

EXACTLY what happened to me Hector, though your 3 days was my 3 months. I left early because I was promised a job with a salary, an animation job! Of course that didn't happen.. welcome to life after AIPH.

You're going to make it though, I mean come on you're stinkin Hector Ortega!
:icontpollockjr:
That's rough Hector, but I hear only bad things about Animation Collective though. So I wouldn't be too down on that aspect. I've known a few people who've worked there, and they said it was the worst.

Too bad I won't see you at Wizard...

Things will pick up.
