Oh heck yes. I support this goal very much :D now to procure the funds to dump upon you

Thanks for the support. :3

It's good that you've given some thought and put together a plan: that puts you ahead of 80% of the aspiring artists out there. It's also good you realize the comic isn't sustainable on its own. A lot of people are unwilling or unable to adjust, and art and business are both hugely about being able to adjust as you learn and get more info.

Jumping to VR and video game dev work might be too much too fast though. Not saying it can't be done, I finally got serious about developing my art skills a few years ago and it's been going great; You can make amazing progress once you finally cut through procrastination and excuses and just do the work. BUT, modelling, programming, and animating are all serious skill sets in their own right, and you have to be a hell of a person to pull them all off.

Meanwhile, I can tell you've put a lot of time and effort into your art skills over the past few years, and it shows. I've always been a fan, but your stuff has definitely improved in a serious way. That's a serious investment that still has potential. The comic may not be sustainable, but there are other possibilities, and combinations of possibilities.

Again, I'm glad you can tell when it's time for a new plan. That's more self-awareness than most people: they just try plan 1, fail, and give up. And obviously you know yourself and your art better than some other random aspiring internet artist; maybe game work really is the best strategy for where you are right now. Just consider that your art may still have a lot of untapped potential too, personally and commercially, and it may be easier to fork existing experience off in a new direction than to wipe the slate clean and start from scratch.

Either way though, I look forward to what you make. Your stuff is always really heart-felt and genuine, and that's not easy to find.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. :3

I’m not looking to make 3D models for games.
Really just wanting to learn how to 3D model so I can make 3D avatars of my characters. And so I can create a 3D space in the way I would want it to be.

I agree that it a very difficult skill.

My main focus is to create a sort of BDSM wellness center for people. The 3D modeling is just another cool tool for my belt.

Ah, so a little smaller scope than I was thinking. That could be really cool then! It's been neat seeing the stuff people have done with zBrush over the past few years.

I was going to write something longer, but Greentags covered most of what I wanted to ask while sounding much more positive than my message. I'm just going to say you may want to rise your price just a tad, so you don't have to take 300 mystery commissions.

Its also a way to get better at art, and to share art for low prices and stuff. You're right tho, it's gonna take me a long while. ^^
