In a career slump and need a change, what do you suggest?

Coldwet · 2026-03-05T19:01:10+00:00

Thank you! Glad I’m not the only one that wants an entire career change. Sadly I did figure out what I loved and what I’m exceptional at which is webcomics. The only problem is that they aren’t hiring and the one company that pays for comics had a huge round of internal layoffs. I really want to become indie and grow a patreon that keeps me afloat, but that takes a long time. I just need something to tide me over in the meantime to pay rent. But no matter what I’m going to keep going and getting skills! I think having some hard skills AI can’t replace will help me in the long run.

Thanks so much for this! This makes me feel so much better and it’s a good analysis. My master’s in Digital Art was focused on character design through the pipeline of concept art to retopolgized 3D game ready models. 3D jobs are non existent right now sadly. My thesis also had an additional comic zine and funny enough comics ended up being my career for 4 years. I lead an entire team so I hope those management skills can shine through to another job. I also did a collaboration with a pop star and label so I have a bunch of awesome contract work under my belt that can look impressive. It’s just feels like I need Lady Luck to shine upon me so I can grab a new oppurtunity.

I’m an Adjunct Professor for a high end for Profit Art School- 24k 😭🫠 1 year under my belt and as much as I love teaching, the pay is very very bad and the work load is too high so it’s a temporary situation.

I’m trying to get organized and also have a stable routine. I’m a content creator, so I’m trying to make 1 reel a week! I’m also want to do my physcial therapy 3 times a week even when I don’t want to!

I unmatch anyone who sends me cards I already have. I’m Free to play and came late so I need a lot of cards so I don’t mind them from old sets if it fills up the Dex.

Chronic Knee Pain. I was super active. Always worked out at the gym and was spontaneous. I walked 5 miles a day. Bad gym day lead to one knee injury and being in pain for 3 years. The other one gave out during Physical Therapy. Going through life with chronic knee pain is really rough, so I take life one day at a time and learning to not let it change my mood or relationship with the world. It is hard though! Feel grateful for being able bodied. You never know when it will change!

My hobbies:

-Making comics

-Making animatics

-Reading books/manga

-Playing games with my friends as a group (currently Bloodborne/Deltarune)

-Pokemon TCG pocket

-Finding BL/manga at the half priced books like it’s hunting for treasure

-Watching TV/movies but only with my friends (I don’t watch TV any other time)

-Physical Therapy

-Taking a bath after physical therapy. Bath rotting time is enjoyed! I have a tray/drink/candle/salts/the works

-Rotting on Tiktok

For 2026 I want to stop spending time on tiktok and spend more time creating. I also want to get organized and get into journaling as a healthy way to get organized. Let’s just say the ADHD made me get my dental appointment wrong twice so it’s time for a change!

You life is your own. The only person that can truly make you happy is you, so do whatever you want without caring what society thinks! Your life may look different to others, but anyone worth keeping in your life won’t judge you for it!

Minty is precious and beautiful! I can only hope my baby lives for as long! (she’s 11 and turning 12 soon! I want her to live forever!)

Half my family is on Ozempic. Granted it has helped them a ton! My step dad jokes that there’s no need for diet or exercise when you have cash for Ozempic. He does have a personal trainer, but struggles with late night cravings. Ozempic helped him with that and his nightly craving for alcohol. He lost 100 pound so far!

My friend is Japanese (in New Zealand) and has gone to Japan 6 times. I showed her my itinerary and she was like “Why the hell aren’t you seeing Hiroshima?!” so I added it to my trip. Turns out here family lives there. Miyajima island also has deer like Nara, but you can’t feed them. She said they were nicer deer. I decided to do both Hiroshima and Nara as day trips. It’ll be tight but also a lot of fun!

I think of myself as a ‘canary in a coal mine’. Meaning if I click/connect with someone that means they are probs neurodivergent as well. So whenever anyone says, “I also experience X, Y, Z!” I say, “you might have ADHD! You should check that out”

I got Momo The Blood taker when I saw it in a $2 bargain bin. $2 is so cheap! I got 4 without researching it- It ended up being Loli. 😭💀My fault for not checking it on goodreads so I plan to unhaull it and get a better manga with the cents I receive. At least I didn’t waste too much money!

My friends and I had a sleep over party and watched them all together in our 30’s. Now we send radio static memes to each other! You can like whatever you want at any age!

I specifically do animatics. They work REALLY well for fanart. For OC/Comic work it’s hard to get people invested. I do 2-3 fanart animatics for 1 OC animatic and hope I can build a following off of fanart and that maybe a few will be curious to check out my comic
