just thought about it and you are pretty much right.
I'm probably going to die regretting that i was shit at the only thing that got my interest.
I'm too much of a fag to already kill myself tho.

Only a tiny minority of /ic/ will ever make a living at art. Most people here will wander off to other pursuits, get married, procrastinate endlessly, or give up.

I've seen it before. I used to post on conceptart.org back in 2004-2006. Everybody was way, way, way better than me, and waaaay better than the general skill level on /ic/. I saw them all give up and fall away, while I kept chugging. Only a few people from back then are making it now. The rest are gone. Really talented, hard-working, determined artists that just gave up and did something less intense.

You never make it. You have to keep making it, over and over, forever. Most of /ic/ gets angry when someone says 8 hours a day is a minimum to compete.

Don't listen to >>2928309

Making it is more than just money or being a professional, making it means coming to beginning of your artistic arc.

You have a strong grasp of the fundamentals, form and environments, you aren't perfect but you can only improve from where you are. You can learn things at your leisure.

To Make it is to be artistically mature, style isn't something you need to make your pictures appealing, it is something you use to express and engage the viewer of your art.

Unlike 90% of /ic/

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 5 01:40:30 2017 No.2928542 what does it even mean to make it, I don't care about selling art just using it as a basis for 3d modeling. If I do that is it considered making it?

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 5 01:42:13 2017 No.2928543 >>2928542 Make it as in make it towards your dreams/goals/etc. It's just shortened because it applies generally. "We'll all make it." pretty much means everyone will surely reach their individual goals.

yes? been working sinse 2007. but past 2 years were shit so i went down. there is something dark in my mind. i keep being lonely and sad.
Also that guy is right - i started to draw with 4 people. none of them is artist right now.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 5 01:51:07 2017 No.2928554 >>2928551 i don't that you have comission if that's what you thought i meant, it's just that you already have work and you're not doing it.
