The common theme in all of the struggles currently happening in creative industries is that we are ruled by greedy, uncreative people whose only life goal is to be as wealthy as possible. I mean, that's probably always been the case, but it feels especially stark right now.

One of the first images I did five years ago for my D&D campaign, and one of the latest, as a commission piece.
Just keep doing your thing. Progress will come.
Enjoy the journey.
