Anyway I also wanted to say something else. WhitePlains brought up working at an anime studio. I just wanted to let you know being an artist isn't about creating your own great works of art whenever you want and having a lot of people buying it. That's not how a lot of artist get their money, though that is one way they do get their money, though their work is usually sold to only one person. Even professional artists sometimes have a hard time selling their work. So the reality of being an artist is working for someone, having them tell you what to draw, when to have it drawn, and then explaining everything wrong with the artwork you just spent 19 hours making for them. (and then being very underpaid) Yes, commissions are the dreadful life of the artist gonk I have just recently discovered this (I'm freakin retarded), and I also discovered that I hate commissions. Sometimes I wish I was good at math so I could have been an accountant instead of an artist, seems like a much more simpler life style.
