I've seen a lot of talk surrounding life as a concept artist, designer, comic artist, etc.
But I've rarely seen people talk about becoming a full time Illustrator, how can you? Would you?

well personally i dont ave experience as a 'traditional' full time illustrator. I'd say about 70% of the work i do is porn commissions under alias. The other 30% is actual illustration.
The only people who pay illustrators nowadays are usually news organizations/magazines/etc. who want something for their article. But there's not a lot of those out there in comparison to everything else.
It's best to diversify your skill set if anything and do multiple types of work if you don't want to die starving.
