This girl some kind of victim of backstabbing... literally and metaphorically?

Amazing work with the colors and lighting effects! It's a very powerful piece!
I feel you a lot with your description. When I mentioned I would like to have an art career back in my teen years I would get the same response that art wasn't profitable and stuff, so I didn't even try and went and studied Computer Science with the idea of having something that would give me money while keeping art as a hobby, or thinking about pursuing art in a serious way after I'm more stable. Well, so far my degree is what gives me some income and art is still my hobby but I'm feeling like I want to make the change towards a more art-related work in the future.
I've read some successful artists saying that getting stable jobs first to stabilize themselves while developing their art skills helped them greatly in order to take the big step to becoming full time artists. So I think it's worthy considering that option. I do hope that your family gives you the support you need whatever your decision will be, but ultimately you must do what you think it's best for you.

Β Already did! ^w^~
Normally I do read descriptions anyway, guess this time I just focus on Art realization too much to even notice anything else! xD
Β
About what You write - that is if You care to hear my opinion~
(Please remember that this waaaaay too long comment are just simple words:Β I won't tell You: "Drop the studies - they are worthless" or "Stop dreaming - art is not something you can make out a decent living" It's not my intention or role to dictate you any specific way. I present my view and can only hope it will give you a second thought and maybe help you to choose the path you want to go.)
Β
Being an Artist (or writer) is rarely stable salary job and I think that's the biggest fear of Your parents. They are afraid that You will end up without skills/knowledge that would ensure Your future. They see this assurance in a form of diploma from university. And they are not wrong, even if they are not right either. The diploma, especially from engineering open more doors and is a certification of something (not necessarily of actual wisdom) Even if You are not planning to be an actual engineer in the future - the experience you may get during the studies will give you broader perspective on may other subjects, even artistic ones. It is always easier to picture something if we understand it.
Β
On the other hand - the human world is changing very fast now. The employers more and more are looking for the people who are willing to work hard, those who have passion and those who are determinate to improve over the ones with best grades on diploma. (That of course deepen on the variety of things, I generalize a lot here~~)
Β
The questions here would be: How good You are as an Artist? What kind of an Artist You would like to be? What kind of job would You like to do as an Artist? How good are You compare to others? How fast You can improve? How good You are in advertising Your creations? Are You aware of Β the quality of Your competition?
Are You able to answer those questions right away?
I highly appreciate writers, artists and creators in general cus I know that is not as easy work as it seem from the viewer side (not that other jobs doesn't require hard work), it is also usually thankless and very often unrewarding materialistically. Of course You may say that You don't have high needs, but can You deny that you need a place to live, a food to eat, new cloths, new art equipment? All of that are costs. Not that low costs as it may seem either. βEveryone have a dayjobβ
Β
Once I was on this lecture of one of letβs say semi- successful writers. He publish few books, but isnβt any of recognizable authors. He was talking about many things, but one was significant for and stay with me: βI am a lucky man. I happily am able to do what I want to do and work on my own terms. But you need to know that on my own I would never be able to do it. My friends, my family, my wife β they all support me, not only mentally, but also financially. Writing is not the profitable career.β That doesnβt mean it is not a career at all. And being an Artist is one of most liberatory jobs. They possibility to express oneself and simply be happy β enjoy the job You do is half of the success as You have motivation to continue doing it.
Β
My conclusion would be: No one have the right answer, but maybe you donβt actually need one.
Β
I can only wish You all the best, Sunshine C:

hello there
only managed to read the entirety of this by now
thank u for the wise and kind words. indeed i have been thinking about most of these points for the past few weeks, and surely enough i dont have the answer yet. which is probably why im quite a delusional xD but i do hope that i could at least create a fulfilling and successful career out of it, hopefully even a financially stable one. i do think that the internet these days provides a "somewhat" much easier platform for artists to be heard than it was for galleries and what not years ago, which could hopefully be an advantage

Hi~~! x3
It's ok~~ I don't really mind if you answer or not xD
The pleasure is all mine C:
Hehe, hope I didn't confuse You more then You were C:
I understand Your point of view, it's admirable and visible that Your motivation is strong.
Wish You turn that "hope" and "could" into "will" and "am" soon C:
Good luck and work hard, Sunshine! C:

What even constitutes a semi hiatus I ponder? If you make an upload, then wouldn't that mean the hiatus is over? Or perhaps you can make uploads during a hiatus.
The world seemed so much simpler before this moment

Good luck to become a successful artist! Donβt let anything stop you from achieving your dreams, even if there are bumps along the way. I (and others) believe in you. Your art is spectacular and I could envision you becoming something big in the future.
