this has been on my mind for quite some time, i know the majority have joined SP to animate and we all have different reason why we animate?
please share
hewitt and I and others are trying to unlock the big question inside the minds of animators here

I animate for fun, I don't see any reason to do something that gets you money although you hate doing it

I animate to be as good as I possibly can be and so I can do something related to animation in the future as a career. That's why I don't only animate stickfigures anymore lol, although I don't post much of those here

Animating out of curiosity and for some clan stuff. Learning when I can.

All of the above.
Edit: for "other" its because I need a hobby to lessen my video game addiction. Whenever I don't animate, it makes me play video games. A lot. Too much.

I animate
- to be pro
because when you're pro you are able to
- get attention
- make friends
- meet other animators
- and other stuff
and when you get really pro you can
- make it a career
so I just selected all of them.

yup.

I would say other since there is no multiple answer choices.
I animate for fun but I wanna become a 3d or 2D animator later so also for career. Though for that I need to be at least low pro.
Ya........... complicated....
I would say to beat the crap out of people.

I want to be famous, I also want to have fun doing it and meet others in my domain (then pit myself against them via RHG)

It's the only time I can actually be a God.

After all, I control everything.

at least your throne is your own domain and no one can contest you unless your dad had a burrito last night
