My love for my craft hasn't waned either, don't think that is what i was trying to say. it's become a love/hate relationship, which is worse than just the love of the game. I'm satisfied doing it... but i hate the reaction to it, which detracts from the soul put into it.
To point two: i dont give a kansas jumping fuck what she thinks or how good she is. it is totally irrelevant to my own goals in becoming a better draftsman. it is for me, and me only.
I don't have any career expectations from it and i do't want them. That's exactly what my warning is against. Don't align with them. Don't compete with them. Draw because it is a beautiful act of creation that our species is uniquely equipped to do. Enjoy it, revel in it, don't ever try to turn it professional because no matter what you do, be it working some corporate cubicle accounting job or working some corporate cubicle storyboarding job, it sucks. Just make the money, get away and go do what you really enjoy with the freedom that money gives you. Draw on your own time, for yourself, for your own pleasure, because you can afford it. Don't make it your source of income, because when you have the free tume away from work, you're not going to want to do it for fun or for yourself. Why do it when you already put 40+ hours a week into it to fill someone else's pockets? It all becomes so tiresome.

another tl;dr
all im saying is that any art or craft should be for your own enjoyment without the goal of making it professionally unless you are a true artist that can work independently. don't post these doomer ngmi threads here when anons are just trying to have fun.
