Forget "making it" with your own 2D art renders (Comics ,selling prints etc) it is a pipe dream you will starve or at least become homeless.

I strongly disagree with that sentiment. There are way too many self employed illustrators making good livings doing what they enjoy for this to be true. Just the list of people whose work I follow is pretty exhaustive and it barely scratches the surface of who else is out there doing the same.

It's like anything else, you get out of it what you put into it. If you treat it like a hobby then it will never be more than a hobby. If you treat it like an actual job and stick with it then you'll eventually grow it into a full time living. But you have to want it and work at it and make sacrifices for it. Otherwise you'll never get anywhere if you just sit around and daydream.

If people like Sakimi Chan can make $30K+ a month painting fan art in photoshop and making tutorials, then anything is possible.

Nice work on those clothes tho Wolf.
