This is so humorous to read after seeing your current status now

I'm actually taking a Graphics class right now and I don't regret it one bit, and seeing your success is inspiring - graphics can be really fun when you learn how to do it, but in the beginning it's so damn frustrating

Gravity Kitten · 01-13-2012, 02:44 PM

graphics is only fun when you have creativity

i.e. emithith

**BethanyBangs** · 01-13-2012, 02:51 PM

props mate, you've earned it o/

**25thhour** · 01-13-2012, 03:22 PM

Dayum! Thats amazing.

I am astonished

**Coolboyrulez0** · 01-13-2012, 03:27 PM

Glad to see that talent and dedication is rewarded. Nice one, mate.

**darkshark** · 01-13-2012, 04:12 PM

Thanks errbodeh ;D

It's sickening how much people will pay for commercial animation from a studio. My biggest inspiration in this industry has always been my uncle, who worked for Tippet Studios and now works for ILM. Tippet Studios charges ONE MILLION DOLLARS per completed minute of animation, and that's an industry standard for elite blockbuster film type animations. I'd love to make it to that point and grow my business to that quality and scale one day.

Right now I'm employing 3 people full time, a 4th on the way (even a 5th person to run the shirt batches for ffr lol)

**Reincarnate** · 01-13-2012, 04:16 PM

Considering how much money that shit generates, though -- a mil/minute isn't out of the question

Awesome job though, even after the salary of the other artists I'm sure that's a huge paycheck to come home to...

Wow, that's... kind of crazy. I know the kind of stuff they do is still a hell of a lot of work, but at that kind of pricing it sounds like they are making money hand over fist for just being able to do stuff of that quality

**awein999** · 01-13-2012, 04:37 PM

inb4 Darkshark becomes Monarch of the world

**darkshark** · 01-13-2012, 04:38 PM

That's the plan.

I plan on using this money to establish a network of digital billboards in high traffic cities. Advertising is the most profitable industry, period. Hoping to make 1mil a month by the time I'm 26, so yeah, multimillion dollar corporation will happen rofl.
