I am also in this quandary. I am a full time real estate agent with a solid business but illustration has been my passion since I was a kid. I am walking this out and plugging away at my first paid children's book, to which I am almost finished PLUS working 50-60 hours per week in real estate. I am pushing through as well in order to establish myself in the industry just as I did 10 years ago with the realtor position. Hard but necessary path for many of us. Hang in there and make it happen. You can do it.

@Rob-Smith Some really good work man and I missed Inktober this year as I am just too busy right now to really make the effort. Love seeing the work though. 1st image is very cool.

Thanks Ace!! Me too. Especially for the Milk Duds!

I LOVE THIS piece, very whimsical. Only wishing the little boy was larger so you could really soak in his expression for me. Everything else is really great. Things look realistic yet perfect for children. Well done and hope to see more.

Newest character design comp for Randy the Raccoon!! He really is coming to life. Thoughts? Feedback welcome. Thanks friends.

I love the simple and traditional feel to these. I think they are fantastic!!!

Great post and I am sad to say I have not pushed that traditional art feel. The children's book I am working on for an author loved my artwork but it isn't pushing me in that direction so I feel the pressure to continue pursuing the traditional feel only in practice. Thanks for sharing.

I think this idea is really really good. My ONLY critique is the school house appears cartoony if that makes sense. The monster is much more soft and realistic where as the school house is far more saturated and not soft at all. Looks like 2 different pieces. Great concept man!!

Great piece, very traditional, solid coloring and man I can feel the chill. I like that it evokes some reaction. Well done.

Expressions, energy, camera angle! Actually makes me giggle like the little girl is just SOOOO proud. hahahaha well done. Winner no matter what!

Love the piece and it's very traditional looking. I think it's very children's book art'ish. If that is really something? haha. I just can't take my eyes off the girl who is 2nd in from the right......I don't want to say what I see or what stands out to me. Anyone?
