I've seen it happen to many of my favorite artists on this site. They make it to college or farther in college, and since their stuff didn't go viral and instantly present them with opportunities to make bank online, they disappear from Newgrounds and go tween for "modern" cartoons and kid's commercials forgetting their S.I.N.s, XINs, Xombies, Stories of Khale, CCCs and Apocolypse Pleases. I hate this, but I really truly feel it's coming on for me and I DON'T WANT IT.
I don't mind tweening for a paycheck, I'd much rather do that than cook fries, but as time goes on, the "logical" reasons for me to continue making Necropolis slowly start disappearing. I feel myself disappearing from this site that I haven't gone a day without visiting since I was 11.
I don't want to stop contributing to the indie toon world just because I'm becoming "financially independent", I still like NG WAAAAAAAAAY more than television, but I guess I had an unrealistic perception of how the entertainment world works; contrary to popular belief, it's very rare that people make a living off of their ideas/passion projects without compromising. But something needs to change before I fall off my pretentious indie high horse, fuck views and money, I just like being a cartoon whore for personal reasons.
I will figure out a way to get back on the corner >:(
Oh, and umm...penis. Ok I'm done being dramatic.
