Depends on what you mean by
>Make good money off of art
The mistake is assuming people like Sakimichan, who pull somewhere between 100k-500kish a year, are making big money. They're not, and their livelihood is at the mercy of platforms who could end it all in an instant.
If you want to see what making money off of art REALLY looks like, don't look at the gold miners like Sakimichan or cartoon creators, take a look at the people selling shovels.
For example,
>Adobe is worth 125 Billion dollars right now.
>Autodesk, maker of 3D program Maya, is worth 35 Billion dollars.
>Wacom is worth 1.8 Billion dollars
>Patreon as of 2017 just got another round of funding for 450 million dollars
>Media publisher Disney is worth 130 Billion
>Media publisher Valve is worth 2-4 Billion
>Media publisher Turner Broadcasting, which among other things owns cartoon network and adult swim, is owned by Time Warner, which is worth 73 Billion.
If you wanna make art, yes there's a little niche in which you probably can make a little money, probably, and that money could be enough to buy a nice house, and maybe a nice car. If that's all you want, that's fine.
But if you wanna make money, and I mean GOOD money, not scraps, sell the tools or dream for others to do it. Your "Living the dream" tax will ultimately far exceed the value of any individual attempt to live it yourself.
