I started my career with a lot of YT work and this thread is some solid advice for starting up. Don't repeat my mistakes and put yourself through hell because you think it's the only way to "make it". The "struggling artist" mindset is BS. Respect yourself. It took me too long to learn that.
Weebl (with bits)@mrweebl.bsky.social · last yr.So you're a young animator with mad skills about to do your first freelance commission. Do yourself a huge favour and get a contract that sets out the scope of work and agreed payment terms. It may seem big and scary but remember that this is to protect both parties involved. That means you.
It's no understatement to say that without Newgrounds, I wouldn't have been able to start my career as a professional animator. The same undoubtedly rings true for a huge chunk of today's online animation community.

Smiling Friends - Some of my cleanup from episode 205. Roughs by the one and only @psychicpebbles.bsky.social
(2019) Super Meat Boy Forever - Another end-of-level in-game asset!
(2019) Super Meat Boy Forever - As well as cutscenes, I worked on some in-game assets. Here's an end-of-level animation inspired by Luigi's Mansion!
Woke up to a bunch of new followers, thanks so much! I'm Kreid, a 2D animator from the days of old. I used to do a lot of web toons (Studio Yotta, Eddsworld, Weebls-stuff etc.) I've worked on Super Meat Boy and directed on Smiling Friends! One day, I hope to revive my personal work, Vampire Pixel!
My fourth and final cleanup shot from the Vshojo X Gfuel collab with @studioyotta.bsky.social . This shot of @realk9kuro.bsky.social had a lot of detail to keep consistent, but Im really happy with how it turned out. The roughs on this project were top notch!
My third shot from the Vshojo X Gfuel collab with @studioyotta.bsky.social . Im a big fan of bugs, with a lot of creepy crawly pets, so this shot of @matarakan.vshojo.com was a blast to clean up!
For my second shot in the Vshojo X Gfuel collab with @studioyotta.bsky.social , I got to clean up the anim on the one and only Kson!
My first shot from the Vshojo X Gfuel collab with @studioyotta.bsky.social . I cleaned up this shot of Projekt Melody @melody.vshojo.com doing her thing! I also got to animate and clean the lil drone fella!
Had the honour of working with @studioyotta.bsky.social and Vshojo on this Gfuel collab. Gifs to follow!

Not animation related, but I'm wondering what people think of me sharing another one of my interests on here. That being astrophotography. I took this photo of the Orion Nebula in 2022 and have more to share of people are interested!
(2018) Rivals of Aether - Shovel Knight trailer - Another cleanup shot from my early days with @studioyotta.bsky.social
(2018) - Battle Chef Brigade - It's big meal day in the states, so here's some shots I cleaned up for Battle Chef Brigade's opening! (4/4)

(2022) Woody Woodpecker - When animating on this show, we were able to draw a lot of fun smear frames between the large, snappy movements.
(2018) Amphibia - Some more of my cleanup work from the show's opening. This shot was roughed by @paultervoorde.bsky.social
(2023) Dr Fetus' Mean Meat Machine - Some roughs of Dr Fetus from the game's opening sequence. It's fun to try getting the most out of his simple design. The floating arms give a good amount of freedom with his posing.
With all these clips I'm exporting, maybe I'll update my demo reel after 6 years...
(2023) Dr Fetus' Mean Meat Machine - Cleanup from the shot in my previous post. Lotsa meat dudes
(2023) Dr Fetus' Mean Meat Machine - Roughs for an army of Meat Boy clones
(2018) Amphibia - Some more cleanup work I did on the shows opening sequence!
(2019) I animated a bunch of shots for Tom and Jerry. A few of these are in a sequence, so I'll probably edit them together rather than post the clips individually
(2022) Woody Woodpecker - This shot needed a distorted pixel effect. I first drew the keys in Animate and then shrunk them down and tidied them up in good ol' MS Paint!
Some roughs from Smiling Friends episode 203. This episode was directed by my good friend @paultervoorde.bsky.social . Pim's excited screams are a lot of fun to draw. I was able to animate one for episode 201, too!
(2023) Dr Fetus' Mean Meat Machine. Dr Fetus is such a fun character to draw. I did the design for the gun in this sequence too. The same gun can be seen at the end of Super Meat Boy Forever
