Hell yeah we are

>>2927248
Statistically, we aren't.

If you fail and you try your absolute best, that's okay. If you make it, that's great. Be more realistic and less reliant on fluff phrases like "we are all going to make it."

Absolutely not gonna make it.

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.

Those who draw were born to draw.

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.

>>2927332
thanks man, real experience is always welcome.
By myself i never took art seriously and my odds are even worse to try now.
I always liked it but i'm aware that i don't love it enough.

>>2927332
t.not gonna make it

damn it is now that i can apreciate how fucking good that piece is

What counts as """making it""? Is it earning enough money off your art to live ie. being a professional? if so then I already made it

>>2928308
If you don't know then you aren't gonna make it ever period

>>2928309
Whatever "not gonna make it" loser. I already made it

>>2927297
Never gonna make it.

>>2927248
I don't know if I can make it but I will try.

>>2928311
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/

>>2928259

haha. I'm not Sinix.

>>2928042

Just look at guys like Dave Rapoza, Mitch Mohrhauser, Carla Ortiz, Josh Godin, Whit Brachna, Lake Hurwitz etc. Those are all people who started on CA and never stopped.

>>2927319
You're far too kind

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?

>>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.

>>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.

>>2928554
>it's just that you already have work and you're not doing it.
i know its stupid and unprofessional. I hate myself for that. I dont know how to do with this. i dont even care if i will die ina few minutes. my mind is somewhere else and i have 1000 miles stare right now

what you need is a goal

whatever, something to keep your attention focused

once you accomplish a goal, you have to make another one, or that the one you accomplished to a new level

I am already making it, at another job.

Drawing is a hobby. I recommend you keep it that way.
