To succeed you’ve to analyze the market and do your best to ride it’s trends overwise you’ll paint for years and get nothing in return.

The first issue that pop-ups immideately is copyright and possible idea/concept theft. The hard truth is that most of ideas has zero value until implemented. It’s a long, very long road between rough idea and finished product you can hold in your hands or enjoy other way.

I remember I was sending unpublished dark elf ladies designs to appropriate toy doll company and their response was a cold-shower for me. Literally it was like, go f*ck your elfs.

Next, how ’bout moving online and share your treasures with the rest of the world? Hell, it’s scary! What if people wouldn’t like your work? What if you’ll be ignored? What if…? A lot of fear right?
