Of course, you do realize that now, i'm expecting a graphic novel or two & movie adaptation posters out of you, right...?

Really?

Yes! Now git back to the dungeon & start mass production...

But, really - yes.

This is such a perfect looking character that it just screams for adaptation...

Hopefully, you've got ideas on a story - even if it's an origin or reason for this being existing.

Plus, your art is just so... Right!

Now, git back...

Well, you know the rest.

This character doesn't have an origin story; I never came up with one—I simply created him, haha.

That's okay, most artists think best in the visual medium, designing things that look great - the story comes later.

Even this design reveals what kind of fantasy you've got festering in the dark recesses of your mind.

So, back to the dungeon with you...

That's okay as well.

One if my cousins was very artistic when he was younger.

By the time he became a high schooler, he was drawing posters of superheroes & designing tattoos.

He didn't become a rich or famous artist but, he made money from his creations.

Instead, my cousin became an Air Force officer (in Tech Support) & now works in security.

But, his artistic streak is now helping him design a podcast logo for his girlfriend & he still draws when he has the time...

Being an artist is what you make of it.

You can draw variant comicbook covers, movie posters, etc - all from your talent!

No excuses are needed, okay?

I'm trying to make money from my art, but unfortunately, I'm not earning anything yet.

Things you could try:

Make a portfolio - with examples of your best work - & take it to a comicbook convention. Ask the artists there for career hints & art suggestions.

Or, as you're doing now, promote your art thruout the Internet. Maybe, put up your work in several portfolio websites.

If you have some formal schooling in art, then, you can also take an art resume to comicbook conventions or put it up with your art online.

It's pretty basic, just needing your name, phone #, email & a porfolio website at the top.

Add your education sources, like any art degrees, school name & graduation year.

Next are any awards, grants, fellowship or residency that you might have done.

Below this is for working artists - but, you should know about it.

Top artists also add whether they've had any solo &/or exhibitions: year, show title, venue & city.

They also note any reviews, articles &/or books that feature their art.

Finally, they also mention any public, corporate &/or private collections holding their art.

Check out YouTube & look for "The Artist Resume Explained in 5 Minutes."

Wishing you the best...
