CA lurker since 2003 to its dying days.

[PINExizi]

I participated back in CA during its beginning a bit, but more of a lurker than anything. I come from a~ practical family, so wanting to do this for a living spun them for a loop. I'm back to fight their influence on my decisions though. Hope to make real progress here, and to be able to share my growth along with everyone else. 
Thank you for existing.

Welcome to the forum! I feel like making a continuous living at digital art is something that can be impractical, it depends on a lot of stuff besides just your skill. But you absolutely can get good with practice, so I look forward to seeing what you put out!

Welcome to the Daggers - looking forward to seeing your work! And good on you for going your own way, it's your life not theirs, and you're more likely to regret it if you didn't at least try (speaking from experience).

@JosephCow
I doubt anyone picks this as a career because they think it's practical.
