--Take the time, save up a few months worth of rent, then do what you want for a while. Get the reason you got into art back into your life.

--i have so many ideas that completely captivate me and i want to share them with world and im willing to sacrfice my time to do that
28 Jan 16:51
--@FSGhost: Are all those things that you mentioned...is it going to stop you painting?
28 Jan 16:50
--That's the thing, its al lpro or nothing. Thus 10,000 - 20,000 hrs needed. How many other professions take as much time and effort? Thus it's more a spiritual than material why people persue this path.
28 Jan 16:50
--but those people are out there. you just have to literally be undeniably good at art
28 Jan 16:48
--theres very few individuals that respect art as a career choice and even fewer who respect digital art as something worth forking money at
28 Jan 16:48
--Art is a tough business, for the artist. You'll do 3 times the labor to make the gains.
28 Jan 16:46
--and it being digital makes it even worse cause you dont have a physical copy and once its out there anyone can have it

--i almost feel like im fooling myself sometimes. from the other viewpoint who really would spend 50 bucks on a character theyre prob gonna look at once or twice? to the average person its just an image that you cant interact with, that you show off to people every once and awhile, that you use as an avatar in a forum or as your fb cover image

--oh i didnt mean the spectrum books i meant spectrum as in the range of work you will get as a pro freelancer
28 Jan 16:37
--I'm wondering about that. Wouldn't it just be better to start on what you like doing even if it is your own ip and work around it?
28 Jan 16:37
--the spectrum goes from half naked warriors to naked animal hybrids with half naked warrior women in between
28 Jan 16:37
--Yea but at least the pay would be better and the ideas would kinda be tolerable up to a certain point
28 Jan 16:36
--i know what youre getting at but we wont be able to paint what we want to paint for a long time
28 Jan 16:14
--so yeah just checked my reddit post..its been an hour someone said my prices were "a little steep" another reported the image, and the last person basically tried to take whatever inquiries i would have gotten by saying he would do it cheaper with links to art that wasnt his own but saying he could paint it like those -_-

--in the us if you created it, you own the rights to it. but i dont know if that includes fan art. i always wondered how artists are able to sell prints of another persons ip
28 Jan 15:54
--seems like a great resource fir artists. again why i want a following before i start my own ips
28 Jan 15:47
--Must everyone have to go through a fundraiser aka kickstarter to realise their projects?
28 Jan 15:36
--yeah i was thinking more the artbook route with my ips but thats what lms is basically but with info on the characters

--Scott mcloud is good, I'd also highly recommend the Dc comics guides to comic's series and Framed Ink
