Self-doubting artist - How I left art and found it again ✏️💀 *ANIMATED*

[@struthless]

SO SO GOOD MAN!! Story + sound point - love the colour palette/vhs feel too. Amazing as always ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Thanks man!!! 😊😊😊

[@UncleJessy]

Man oh man did your story connect with me. I’ve been trying to connect back with my inner artist that was so creative when I was younger. I see my 9 year old son constantly drawing / sketching and creating animations and it’s so inspiring to see. So happy to have found your channel. Art style and animations are fantastic

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Thanks Jessy! The young creativity is truly limitless indeed. I have a little 1,5 year old and we play with colors but even though hes too young I almost wanna tell him already that hey, dont ever think you need to leave this! ✏️

[@UncleJessy]

@@ChrisOVEMERY my son just throws down creative character after character and doesn’t try to perfect anything. On his Xmas list was a box of paper 🤘😬 Now if I just had enough funds to hire you and make animations for me 🙃

[@Kreegah]

All hail the creative skull ! You are a huge inspiration to me Chris, thanks for having me on this journey!

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Thank you for the support Kreegah! 💀✏️

[@MrDenys09]

A really nice animation and story, I was inspirited by this video, the hard work form the live paid off. I showed this video to all my friends (to ones who came in to my house, I forced them), anyway thank you Chris!

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Hah thanks DP!!! Means a lot! 💀✏️

[@learnfunnyjokes]

What an incredible animation and story. I could identify with a lot of your story, and I imagine many others will too. Keep up the fantastic work and inspiring content for so many of us.

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Thank you so much man!!! And for the support I get on the streams! 💀✏️

[@estebanhenriquez3491]

Brother, this was AMAZING and RELATABLE! Just like your creative side, I was the one who died years ago… I currently work as a truck driver because it was the correct and “mature decision” to make. You know, to “grow up” and get a “real job”. I now try to draw in the evenings and weekends to undo my life’s decisions. Your videos are incredibly inspiring and helpful. Keep up the great work!

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Im a firm believer that theres no waste or "undo" because I know you will bring knowledge from whatever field youve spent time in into your new direction. But I know what you mean. No regrets & move forward my friend! Keep drawing and go for it!

[@dimitrishow_D]

Glad u came back, ur a inspiration 2 me!

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Thank you man! Stoked to see your show come together!

Saw this at a great time, sleepless in the middle of the night, pondering as to how I arrived where I am and how much the modern world has been influencing my work. Thank you for the inspirational fuel. Power to you my friend!

Awesome that you found your passion and made it work

[@TheFuryeagle]

Maaaan, this story is so similar to mine, but im at the point "Wait, we have been here before" realising i go in circles and looking for a way to get out. But holy shit, i will never look at your logo same way, it was my inspiration from the beggining but now it means so much more, its like a giude, reminding me of what ive lost and that i should get back to my roots. Cheers man!!!!!. btw. 2:33 angle is so dope!

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Beautiful man thank you. Dont give up doing your thing and youll get there 💀✏️

[@opposite448]

Omg. I can relate so much. I'm an engineer who will never work as an engineer because I was literally feeling the scene on the bus. Now I'm making music and animating. Embrace your creative self guys.

[@eddieandersson5570]

I love it and I recognize myself so much in this. I've done the same thing, except I didn't draw cartoons as a kid. But the other part not doing what I'm supposed to, feels so familiar. And that little kid in you did good. Never stop keep pushing for grater victories. They will come. ❤️

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Thanks Eddie!!!!! 💀✏️

[@genzo_graphics]

Right now i am in that phase where i am leaving my creative space and going to do some other things that people usually do and i hope i also get back into that creative zone soon and continue my art . BTW loved how you animated this story and the music and alll is soo amazing.❤❤

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Do what you need to do but dont lose the creative space entirely. Its easy to get lost and stuck in patterns and with a blink of an eye 15 years went by. Cheers Genzo, appreciate the words

[@fazerf]

Amazing dude. Keep em coming. You inspired me to begin animating!

Imagine an art teacher who discouraged THIS style!!! I fucking love your style!!! So many times we are our own worst critic and someone comes along and gives us a push in the wrong direction. Their intention may be to help or save us from pain but they’re really plugged into the Matrix…just another Agent Smith bot doing the bidding of the machines! Glad you found the strength to follow your dream!!!

Can't wait to see this one ! I have a question , what brush do you use in photoshop to create your characters? I love your style

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Thank you!! In this particular video its pencil in toonboom harmony. But honestly even in photoshop its just basic brush. But then theres a VHS-filter on this one that might give the brush a little bump here and there

This is fantastic! I've been watching your videos and I want to start animating as well. However, I can't afford ToonBoom yet, I have Adobe Animate though. Could it be used to make something like this?

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

You could make the exact same video using Animate bro (and some aftereffects) You should def start! Go for it 💀✏️

[@eddieandersson5570]

There many other free alternatives than toon boom. Krita, Open toonz, animation paper, Blenders grease pencil is amazing. To name a few.
