bro i hate having creative fomo. i see ppl with comics abt their furry ocs and im like "i wanna do that too". then i see ppl making animated series abt their ocs and im like "i wanna do that too". then i see ppl making visual novels and im like "i wanna do that too". then i see someone using a certain art style and im like "i wanna do that too"

i literally see anybody doing anything creative and i instantly want to do it too but i never end up doing it and then i get sad that im not doing it bc i still see the other ppl doing it and im tireddddd LET ME LIVEEEE

this wonโ€™t solve every artistic impulsion, but if youโ€™re someone who wants to do ambitious projects but struggles with completing them (or starting them), consider finding someone to be a Production Manager

Thereโ€™s a reason why it usually takes so many people to make animations and games. Because doing collaborative work is hard and takes a lot of organizing to stay on track. A Production Manager is CRUCIAL to getting a project completed!! There are some artists that can handle production management on their ownโ€” on top of the art theyโ€™re already doingโ€” but the vast majority of people canโ€™t, and thatโ€™s ok!

Production jobs will oversee things like:

  • Creating schedules
  • Enforcing those schedules, and monitoring everyoneโ€™s progress
  • Keeping assets organized and file naming consistent
  • Tracking budget and costs, if applicable
  • Interfacing with every department to make sure everyoneโ€™s on the same page
  • Helping keep everyone motivated driven

I know plenty of people who are phenomenal artists, but end up finding they prefer production management! Itโ€™s a great way to stay involved in a creative field but not do the art yourself. Plus, having experience with creating will help your team feel understood. So if you like making spreadsheets and being organized, consider finding a project that needs help with structure!

you CAN do creative projects too if you want to!! I believe in you!!
