I'd like to get good enough that

>My facial portraits and caricatures are commercially saleable as standalone pieces

>That I can produce realistic and beautiful enough 2D animation of people that I can be the artist for the video games I want to make someday.

Working towards it slowly but I'll get there eventually

>"it?"
Not Gonna Make Impact.

Making it for me would be successfully making a serialized animation series that I could make a passive income off of. After that I wanna do one off illustrations and animations for money. It’d be cool to do big animation projects after the one series but I’m only thinking of the one thing right now.

For me, it's making a living doing art and not needing a soulless dayjob

For me all I want is to be able to decorate my own home display at some local businesses and when I die have my grand kids keep them around as cool family pieces, all I need to do to make it in my eyes is have things that won't just get binned or painted over by the next generation.

Basically ~95% of the current population lmao

Good enough to make designs and model sheets for my game project. After that it's just modeling, animation and programming (which I'm already good in)

What school?

I wanna become better than the ancient masters so I can be recognized as one of the biggest geniuses on the world in the future.
I collect skills.

'it' is the unrealistic dreams and expectations of the universal novice. no-one can ever 'make it' because success in reality isn't the ticket to happiness everlasting the novice would like it to be.

>because alot of people cant do it means i shouldnt try

>All these people in the thread have specific things that to them imply making it
>bleh bleh there's no it, its newbie dreams

those are the newb dreams
what do you think people dream of vague feelings?

when they get their 'specific things' they still won't have made it.

Different anon, but you've misunderstood the "making it" part of "Making it".

Many people don't mean it in a "I've existentially become a more whole person" sense. These people instead mean it in the literal
>"There is a thing I wish to make" sense,
So it's more like more like
>"Making a coffee table"
then
>"making something of yourself".

>>3530061
nope. if they meant that they wouldn't say it. the people who say other people are ngmi are the die hard losers, everything, including making coffee, is a step up for them. when they say someone is ngmi they imagine it as a devastating existential blow.

>These people instead mean it in the literal
to me it means conscious immortality I'm gonna live forever yall

I don't really care about the end result.
I just want to figure out how to work hard at something I want to do, rather than only ever doing things because external factors are forcing me to.
Like, if I ever get to the point where I'm actually drawing with focus and intent for 8 hours a day, I'll probably find new goals, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to die with no regrets.
