I literally do not give a shit about anything other than animation and my creations
Problem is that the odds of me making a living off of it is virtually non existent
What other career should I even get into? I keep major hopping in college and the military rejected me because I'm a nutcase with long mental health records (hospitalizations and whatnot).
I've considered getting a van and just living in it while working on art

People like you typically tend to make really shallow and boring animation because of the lack of broad interests/life experience
>>
work in whatever gets you money, and just try to create in your spare time

>>7757288
night watchman?

There are plenty of very popular artists who only ever draw their OCs. It's the trend-chasing fan art artists who are compensating.
You'll have an easy time on social media if your OCs are interesting and your art is visually appealing, regardless of the subject. Commissions are 99% "draw my OC" almost no one commissions fan art.
Having weird interests is a plus.
>>
>>7757339
This.

I mean really. What are you even drawing if you're not interested in anything?

Van life requires a particular type of person to work, and if you've never lived in a vehicle it will take some getting used to. You should:

> be low maintenance and not require a lot of stuff

> be fine with only being able to clean yourself with wet wipes

> have windows nearly 100% tinted for privacy

> Never stay in one area too long, always look out for "home" locations and rotate them frequently. You should have around 5 or more if possible and should be relatively inconspicuous

> Ensure your vehicle is in "great" working condition, not "passable". the worst thing to happen is you break a fucking control arm off your frame cuz you didn't know there was rust, or find out your radiator's about to shit itself, or your starter's as old as the 26 year old car itself and just died, etc...

> Avoid gyms. Gyms are a popular recommendation because depending on the gym, it's a 24 hour facility and they have showers, but in my opinion it's best to avoid them because they're a free ticket to getting HPV and foot fungus.

> I repeat, use fucking wet wipes and keep a FUCK load of them, they're all you need to keep yourself clean. Just scrub all your parts thoroughly and you'll see the dirt wipe off.

> Get a portable gas stove. Those ones with the butane canister or whatever. Not entirely necessary but a good option. You'll have to keep a pot or pan and some utensils handy which is more shit to load, but is worth it if you like to cook.

> Avoid spicy food. You're in public and won't have access to a shitter as comfortable as home. If I'm gonna shit fire out of my ass and singe it's nerve endings I'd want to be in a proper place of residence to nurse myself. But I suppose that's just me.

> On the topic of bathrooms, keep places to use the bathroom in mind. Not all restaurants or public places have readily accessible bathrooms.
Nothing more annoying than scouring the entire city for a place to shit or piss.

Not OP but muh life experience means nothing anymore.
>Live in a degenerate failing country surrounded by migrants
>Work 60+ hours a week for shit pay
>Most people are only out for themselves and will fuck each other over in a heartbeat
By age 32 I had enough and secluded myself to drawing. The outside world is insanely overrated
>>
>>7757545
See this is what I'm talking about
>But migrants
Migrants are an excellent way to learn more about life, they come from different places and are very insightful
Stop being a sheltered asshole
>>
>>7757545
True, I forgot zoomers and late millennials were thrown into a dystopian hellscape.
Life was actually fun when I was growing up
>>
>>7757545
That sounds like the opposite of life experience.

Let me guess, you're English, or worse, American

>>7757585
My bet is Europe. He would have said Indians if he was in Canada and Mexicans if he was in the US.
In Europe they say migrants since it’s a mix bag.

what about become a tatto artist?

>i love heckin migrantarinoz
No thanks mr.shekellberg.

Its not that hard to get a migrants point of view when you turned the u.s.a into a 3rd world country already.

Don't do /pol/ anons, not even once.

The absolute state of 4chan these days
The only thing you can learn from migrants is what it's like to live in a third world country

grow the fuck up

Why does every thread on this dying website derail into /pol/shit eventually
>>
>>7757741
Yes.
Third worlders have resilience unlike spoiled westoids. They know how brutal life can be
>>
>>7757780
Holy fuck go back and stay back
>>
>>7757785
They make their own countries into shitholes, then come to ours and make ours into shitholes. The only thing resilient about them is their refusal to act like functional human beings
>>
>>7757785
>be indian
>Shit in the streets
>Resilient to diseases from shit in the streets
Maybe your right, we should import more and more street shitters like Canada. Lets line our walls with shit, lets make the indian goop food so we may shit to our hearts content. They're such a spiritual race, look at their rivers, filled not only with shit, but trash. Such reverence for the natural world.

I honestly don't know where you get off thinking westoids don't know how brutal life can be when you fags complain about having to make coffee at starbucks while other westoids are working real hard jobs for a dollar losing its buying power. the cognitave dissonence needed to think like this is as far from voyager is from earth.

You create your on reality anon. There may be more migrants but that doesn't mean life is completely changed. Go outside, do things that gets you out the house more, there are joys in life even if it means getting drunk in a bar with a couple of shitty coworkers, you can have fun. This seclusion is what the techbros want, they want us to give up on life and mindlessly consume, nature is still beautiful, finding someone who loves you for you still feels like the best feeling. I know it's bleak but the life you described doesn't sound like life experience it sounds like you getting caught up in the rat race and closing yourself off to all other experiences in life because the news made you think that everyone is evil. There are genuinely good people out there, genuinely nice people who - if you met you'd be cynical thinking they have an ulterior motive and your actions based on that mindset would keep them away. Try a change of scenery a change of routine and look for the good in the world.

this shitty bait snared multiple chuds rofl

>>7757785
what they have - universally, in my experience - is a systemtic overconfidence in their own abilities (no matter what the circumstances are) and very modest self reflection skills.
these two qualities are the reason all their countries are the way they are.

You must feel so lucky to live in a majority white neighborhood with your wealthy ass family, write here again when you live in a diversified neighborhood for at least 6 months
>>
>>7758511
Can you really say you live in a diverse neighborhood if you never go outside?
>>
>>7757838
Are indias that good or is it a funy joke? Im genuinely curious because of how often people hire them
>>
>>7758511
Hey man, there are parts of town that are only asians and guess what, it isnt a shithole. Whites arent making shit skins shit in the streets. You dont need socioeconimic factors to not shit on the streets like a dog. Even poor white people had outhouses.
>>
>>7757782
Because this is an american website and americans are chronical poltards.
>>
>>7758511
I can count the number of white people living near me on one, maybe two hands
It's all Hispanic and Asian people down here
>>
>>7758619
Having blacks in your country will do that to you, I'm not even American and I have 'gro fatigue
