Why didn't you tell me about this trap? Seems like the only way to truly make it is to become so good and have such a unique style that you can earn money in any way you want.

You trapped your own dumb self thinking people want to do personal work and not just continue to do work for others. Actually think next time about what you’re getting yourself into yeah? /ic/ will also come in here and tell you that the job is terrible, but really you goofed up yourself.

this
you wanted to get a job painting stuff, you got a job painting stuff. however, you have learned why most artists work freelance. i also hope you cleared the creative rights thing because it's very likely that you don't own your work

I’m a freelancer in the same boat.

What’s a moba game? Mobile game?
You’re not the anon who paints really nice backgrounds are you?

You say it pays well, but you have to spend many hours a day painting. If you counted the hours, how much do you think you’re paid per hour? Asking because if you were paid decently, you might have more time to make your own stuff.
