Different anon here, but your estimates seem way off to me. It'd be more like 2% or less who make it to professional levels, and besides, what does that even mean?

What it all comes down to at the end of the day is just being better than the competition. Not cheaper, not in some shitty country with tax cheats or something, not sucking more dick than the other Polish photobashing crowd. It comes down to just being the best, nothing can replace that. You think Mullins/JJ/RuanJia/insertwaifuhere are losing jobs to bashers and barely professional people from Brazil or wherever?

Be the best, and you'll always have work, because the clients will want YOUR work. Not whoever can paint this dragon scene the fastest/cheapest, no, they want the artist who did X piece, or who worked with them before on X project.
