Hey man, that sounds a little like my own path in life. :)
DnD has always been a massive inspiration for me to finally get off my ass, change the direction my life was going in (basically aimlessly drifting around) and get into illustration and concept art. Todd Lockwood and Sam Wood's art in 3rd edition blew me away and inspired to no end at the same time. Then I found conceptart.org about 7 years ago and that site has helped me tremendously in figuring out what to do. Also Dave and Dan's videos on youtube and their art and the way they approach it never fails to amaze.
I hope to be able to work for WotC or Paizo sometime too. Maybe I should set a tangible goal, like in 1 year like you do. I really hope you will succeed and well, obviously I hope I will succeed too. Maybe we'll be colleagues a year from now. :D
Go for it man, I think you can do it!
