Art hasnt ruined my life (yet?), but studying graphic design certainly did some damage once I had to start lookin into advertisement and marketing. Now those make me want to kill myself.

I pity your pathetic existence.

Brother, I dont even spam my trash that often. And even if I did, that wouldnt make a difference because I *do not have that much time to draw*, me posting at all doesnt equate to me sitting comfortably in a place where I could be drawing instead.

Why does that Vizzie draw evoke such an ominous feeling, like it rings a bell in my head, a broke, unnaturally deep sounding bell that screams something bad happened, but I cant remember what.
Shit, am I getting old...

>You can only fap to art that you created
Then I might as well stop fapping altogether, it'd be easier for me.

For starters I have a huge resistance for 2D, meaning I cant get horny over draws easily, sure I've gotten horny over my own coom art, but this is a huge rarity specially since I dont draw coom often. The only way for me to get actually horny over coom art is by nailing it on both style and kinks, I can cover the style, but here is the thing: I dont know what my kinks are exactly. I guess I like a lot of vanilla stuff but when it comes to drawing it, ai dont know how to put it together in a way it arouses me heavily.
So yeah, might as well not fap at all.

Nobody replies to my posts

My goal when it comes to art is simply to be able to make my own manga/comic.

The problem I have is that I'm an American.

My problem isn't about "westerners can't draw anime thing" but I'm concerned about being able to make a decent living fallowing this career choice. The American comics industry is very different from the Japanese one. Even though lots of mamgaka don't make it or work horrendous schedules, there is still a greater potential to make a decent career and full time living, and more creative leeway.

The American industry often does not have original works written and drawn by a single creator with a story in mind, and often have teams of people working to produce comics that are usually more akin to promotional material or short stories. I know there are probably exceptions to this but it seems that most comics are like this, and often treated like collectors items. I'd rather not get paid pinnies on the dollar working for capeshit companies.

I've heard of one french guy getting published in shonen jump with radiant, but I can't think of any other examples asides from him and I don't know the specifics about that.

I'm not trying to be all gloom and doom. I'm just wondering how exactly I can make a living making an original regularly updated comic in America. It's not about money for me or having an easy career, I'd have no problem working 10 hour days. I just want to be able to focus on it full time and be able to support myself so that I could update it regularly, I want to be able to do a long running series one day and would to actually get through it before I die without having to work a full time job on top of that.

I'm just want to know what my options are, if I even have any.
