>Want to make a living off my art because I'm sick of spending 8 hours a day doing stuff I don't care about
>All these stories about how shitty the art industry in general is (and how art schools treat you like garbage to get you ready for it) makes me hesitant
>Absolutely sure I could make money off drawing weird fetish porn, even at my current skill level, but even though every other artist gets away with it I'm afraid of getting copyright struck if I use an IP and basically having my main source of income wrecked
Of course I could just not use copyrighted characters but I feel like nobody cares about OCs. I just want to be able to dedicate my life to a craft I enjoy without some executive taking advantage of me
