I don't feel like I'm good to give advice because I don't feel successful.
I saw on the above some cool part of told by the other guys though -
if you can do animation and web design - what makes you think you cannot do both?
Those actually can be merged into one service and makes you less expendable.
I'm saying expendable, because every specialist on market /does not matter if it's with the adult or mainstream/ is expendable. If you're more experienced, you got the better chance to do something more.
Of course you're free to choose your own path and thus to get better with only one of these, a better animator, a better designer. Have in mind that everyone now is designer and the prices went down to the ground. There are not much companies or clients who would pay you a desired /from your side/ fee for your service. You think you can work with Photoshop? Okay - guess how many of us can do the same. You think you can code or write CSS - and for a site you want to get paid with 1000 bucks? Wow, the client will tell you that his cousin will do that for 40 bucks or for free.
If I were you I would stick with the animation thing and when a client comes I would do the design for him. Oh wait - I actually do that. Except for the fact I don't work with 3D programs. I draw comics ( as many more guys around ). Someone would say the others are better than me - but there will be guys who would say they like exactly my style.
Yes Loki has really good stuff, but that does not mean you cannot compete him.
The one thing I liked the most with the comments on the above was that part where they were telling you: "The world doesn't need another guy doing art who isn't doing it for the love of it. "
Everyone here left a part of his soul in his works. Doesn't matter if we talk about directors, who shots cocks and butts, or flash animator who's doing promotional ads in 1990's style. That "soul" thing we call it "style".
There's a guy here who's shooting a "different" kind of porn and he's having his successes, because he loves what he does. Check the sites of Niki Montero - she's having a fun while doing that! What a lucky she is ! In all the ways you should do something on your behalf for your own future.
Good luck.
