Also, you should format your code with [noparse]

Since I've already been an ass, I guess I can try to help...

1. ENT:Draw() is clientside method. init.lua is run serverside. Put ENT:Draw() in either cl_init.lua or shared.lua.

2. self is misspelled in ENT:Draw().

3. base_gmodentity is a sandbox specific thing. It's for stuff like thrusters and balloons and wiremod chips. This is fine if you're making an entity like that, but it won't exist if you're not running a sandbox derived gamemode. Just something to consider.

4. Neither base_gmodentity, base_anim, nor base_entity set a model by default AFAIK, so you're going to want to do that (serverside/shared!), like in this example stolen from the old wiki:

function ENT:Initialize()
    self:SetModel("models/props_c17/oildrum001.mdl")
end

4B. If you want physics to work you're going to have to call some more functions in ENT:Initialize(), just look how other people do it.

5. In most cases it's less of a headache to just use a single lua file per entity and use "if SERVER then" / "if CLIENT then" kind of stuff.
