Making a living from creativity is possible

hawken

Just wanted to say, if you ever feel despair over creating graphics for a living, or haven't yet got to that stage and are still trying to bust into a company; keep at it.

I know some of us are going through hard times recently.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, a true living can be made from your passions.

That is all. Carry on.

Thanks for the good words, hawken.

Thanks Hawken, the occasional inspirational boost never goes amiss!

I haven't given up yet because I haven't even tried yet. I only applied to one university three years ago and failure wasn't acceptable to me and here I am.

I've got a company in sight and they'll be mine soon

totally agree, it's easy to get down about work at times, but it's just a case with sticking at it. I have
had many depressing moments in my career, but just knuckle down and keep trying to improve.

This buffer is what we need once in a week from the pros that are in Game Industry, and people who are pros in general.

Thank you Sir. Hawken, Much appreciated.

I wonder if there are any buffers for those who are doing 2 things at once. Like, going to college for studies in different field and self learning 2d and 3d arts.
