/biz/ saves a NEET's life

>be me
>be 25
>6 semesters of design university under my belt (no diploma)
>dropped out of design uni
>self thaught digital art and concept art skills while dad still supporting me
>dad gave me a deadline, it's pretty soon
>moving to capital (where the creative jobs are)
>will start freelancing art (but will take a while to pick up steam)
>have 4k€ worth of savings
>have car
>have 15k€ student loans

this all wouldn't be a problem, if i didn't suffer from insane social anxiety. i literally cannot function around many people, much less if i'm forced to interact within a hierarchy (where i am not free to walk away whenever i need it). so i'm hoping to get into freelancing doing art/design fulltime asap (im quite good, no worries there).

any tips you guys can give me? what would you do in my situation? i dont need to make big bucks anytime soon, for the time being i just want to be able to mantain myself somewhat decently. the scaling comes after.

why? i will if i have a good reason but i dont think it 's relevant enough to justify dropping my anonimity. im a regular on /ic/ as you can probably imagine.

op here again. maybe i forgot to specify. i was looking primarily for advice on how to manage to 4k€ in order to avoid having to get a dayjob.

in terms of marketing myself online and making clients happy i think i'm fairly well equiped.

Just blot out any information that gives away your identity.

Besides, it would help to know your skill level to assess what action might be taken.

i would rather not. all of my presentable work can be traced back to my blog and website (portfolio)

only stuff i can show without any risk are shitty sketches and doodles that dont really tell you much about my skill level (other than that im not a furryfag weeaboo retard)

I hate naked women. It's so common amongst artists. Draw some naked men like the ancient Greeks.

He means you are obvious competent about your work, so all that matters now is profiting from it. I think you could be an illustrator.

Has your dad though of ways you can make money? Do you know people that do the kind of work you want to do?
