Why would I apply? First up it's in the good ol U-S of A, second I'm nowhere near a good enough artist.

Just thought I'd share as there are plenty of decent artists on this forum who are all TMNT fans.

Just trying to do someone, somewhere, a favour...

Thanks for posting this! Now at lest I know what areas I need to work on more if I wanted to land a job there later.

Oh if only I was gifted with far better drawing skills and the patience for storyboards. If there's anyone here that qualifies and decides to go for it, I wish them the best of luck.

I wonder if any of the fabulously-talented TMNT comic artists will go for it. Ben Bates is a storyboard artist on quite a few Marvel shows.

*Papenbrook* · 11-17-2015, 04:55 PM

I nominate BabyTurtles. She is a really good artist, and creates great stories.

*CyberCubed* · 11-17-2015, 05:01 PM

You guys do realize they don't hire any average joe off the street, right? They probably get hundreds, if not thousands of submissions from people working in animation in Hollywood for YEARS.

This isn't your average invitation for some joe shmoe from deviantart to go work professionally on a Nickelodeon produced cartoon. There are thousands of people working in the animation industry in the U.S. Nobody is going to get hired outside people with years of experience who are already in the industry.

This is pretty true , I doubt anyone on the Drome would get this position unless they're experienced.

*IndigoErth* · 11-17-2015, 06:46 PM

They already state they require a particular amount of experience or the collective equivalent of experience and schooling. While someone already IN may have a better chance... if someone turned up with an impressive talent that was a perfect match for their needs, it's not like the door is closed to them just because they have not gotten very far in their career yet. It may be much easier if you are already in and have connections... but just because it's tv related doesn't mean it's automatically like the equivalent of Hollywood looking to hire the likes of Megan Fox for an acting gig and only celebs need apply. If that were the case, the job ad would not even be open to the general public; and new people would never break into the business.

Besides, it's best to have people who are fellow TMNT fans working on TMNT, is it not? And if that is the case, why wouldn't they possibly be members, or at least lurkers, here. I'm not saying the average fan artist run off and apply, but there is no telling the "who's who" among members that we may not be aware of.

(Although if any active member did luck out, I just hope they don't get harassed then for details they can't give out. lol)

Interesting and a bit odd. Didn't someone from Tumblr just got hired a few months ago? She was fresh out of art school or something.

I wonder what happened to their old storyboardists...

They probably left/got fired, along with most of the old writers.
