Re: Failed art test, confidence rocked
Thanks guys. I've been told by an animator at Rockstar North that my reel is decent. Also, had a few crit sessions with a senior animator who worked at Riot and he said I have the sensibilities to do this stuff and I'm really close. Maybe a few pieces close and I just need to keep plugging away. I guess I'm just worried… -
Re: Failed art test, confidence rocked
The best thing you can do right now is look around for animators who are in the industry, and ask them directly what are their responsibilities and expectation level for each assignment they're told to work on. I'm not sure what the direct equivalent for animators is, but last year I asked some environment artists what… -
Re: Failed art test, confidence rocked
Your animation demoreel feels pretty strong. I really like your stylish combo! Would need more details of your animation art test to offer critique (if you can share it that is) Rejections occur over several factors, not saying they are bs'ing you on the result of the test, but jobs that are more in demand and have surplus… -
Failed art test, confidence rocked
Hey, So I didn't pass an animation art test and now my confidence is pretty rocked. I understand that people don't pass art tests for many reasons but I can't help think that if my work wasn't good enough then maybe I have no idea what I'm doing. Maybe I can create good work only when I get critiques from others and if I… -
Re: Failed art test, confidence rocked
I've been in your position quite recently, but managed to find a junior position at a small studio. I did about 10 tests in the space of a couple of months and frequently was told "The calibre was very high/there were a lot of applicants" or some variation of those words, before I lucked out. Frankly, all you can do is… -

Re: Failed art test, confidence rocked
^^ This, exactly. Even the most experienced and talented artists/animators go through this. I understand that it can be disheartening to feel like you're within arms reach of the job you want and then not get it but that's part of the process and everyone goes through it. You need to get used to the idea that you're… -
Re: Failed art test, confidence rocked
If you can't handle rejection or criticism, this isn't the industry you want to be in. There is a high chance you’ll get rejected after the next few art tests you submit (although I hope I’m wrong). Are you going to let those rejections take you down as well? You might have been up against someone who has been a pro… -
Re: Failed art test, confidence rocked
I understand this struggle all too well. I've gotten the "we really liked your work but..." plenty of times. But, I saw this tweet from Michael Cuevas a little bit ago and think this is crazy important to remember when not getting the job you were going for. Good luck moving forward and hope to see some of your animations…
