Re: Can someone working full time, 9 hours a day, really make it?
I was one of those kids who had the fortune of graduating and chilling at home for a year and a half. It was brutal. Not that I'd take any of it back because it let me get a job in the end and now I'm freelancing fairly well thus far. Derek's schedule looks very brutal to me but if you don't have a social life or don't… -

I'll go all fortune cookie on you and hope it helps.

Can someone working full time, 9 hours a day, really make it?
Hi. This question keeps coming and going every time I stop and think about my future. I deeply want to work in the industry, I always loved art and games. However, I took way too long to figure out this is what I wanted to do, and now I have to work and do my best with my 2 hours available each day. But really, when I read… -

You should be able to accumulate up to 60 hours to work on personal art per week on top of a full-time job. 6 hours on weekdays after work, and two 15 hour days on the weekend. This was my schedule for a while when I was freelancing on top of a full-time non-industry job. -
Re: Can someone working full time, 9 hours a day, really make it?
Man that's crazy... Makes me feel like I'm not dedicated enough. I work on learning stuff for about 4-7 hours a day I think, everyday. As much as I possibly can until my body aches from sitting at a desk all day. But I still sleep like a bear until 1PM on days off. One of my challenges is to stay motivated and stay fresh,… -
Re: Can someone working full time, 9 hours a day, really make it?
Wow it is awesome that you could handle 6 hours after your daily job. I wake up veery early and get back home by 8. So I guess I could stretch to 3 hours and a bit. But you were already freelancing at the time right? I have the feeling that having to break that first barrier, taking those first steps to actually have some… -

Like my last post I'll keep it short and sweet (would like to give a more detailed reply but there are a lot of these types of threads.) Post your work so people can see what level you're at in the Pimping and Previews section, follow people's crits and improve as much as you can, if you're serious about this then drop… -
Re: Can someone working full time, 9 hours a day, really make it?
I saw Fausto De Martini give a presentation once where he mentioned he was working on his portfolio work for something like ~6 hours after working a full time job every day before getting his job at Blizzard. Most pros have similar stories. My thoughts... most people have way more time that they waste than they realize.… -

You can definitely succeed. You just need to be willing to put the time in. If you think you dont have the time, you`re wrong. What worked for me was taking online classes. Plenty of sites offer online classes taught by industry professionals. You`ll get your weekly assignment, live reviews and lectures. You`ll learn a…
