>ultimate goal
To be able to express what is in my head - the ideas, the worlds, the characters & the stories - in a way that I can be proud of and that I feel accurately represents what I had in my head & shows a high level of craftsmanship in regards to my understanding/execution of art.
Then to add onto that, being able to earn a living through creating with my own two hands & head, with my ability and portfolio being good enough that others want me to work on what they need/want commercially, etc.
The cherry on top being having at least one of my ideas or worlds or what have you interest an amount of people and become even just an incredibly niche thing but something that I build and create myself that others take joy in. Any one that writes a book series about a fantastical world that becomes popular I am envious of, for example. But I doubt any of this'll ever happen, lol.
