I'm a storyboard artist/3d generalist. Basically I draw all day, everyday for short films and TV shows. I find it pretty awesome because A) I love to draw and now I get paid to do it which is, from what I understand, very uncommon for artists. B) I'm helping shape a story from basically beginning to end. C) I also get to do silly voices sometimes when they need someone to fill in.
But, a big downside is that I'm sitting and staring at a screen around 6 to 7 hours a day which destroyed my eyes and I get leg strain sometimes from sitting. I want to get a stand up desk eventually.
Hey fellow 3d guy ! do get a standing desk, it's amazing. I made mine from a kqueo stand and a board from the local carpenter. It doesn't replace the need for working out/walking/running a bit every day, but it's certainly an improvement. I love that you do silly voices. I've had that opportunity recently and loved it. We were recording for a short film and were missing a voice for the big baddie, so I whipped out my most fearsome growl and it worked not too bad
If you work for a large-ish company you should look into getting ergonomic accomodations sooner than later. In the US anyway many companies want to avoid the workman's comp claims from repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel and whatever debilitating circulation issues sitting in a crap chair 8 hours daily causes.
