I don't give rats ass if the market is growing, its still not profitable, and you NEED to realize it. You are not exactly young anymore, and I bet you have very little saving for when you get old or when you kid need to go to school.
Now is the time where you need to pull your head out of the clouds and find some REAL work.

I hear ya, and like I said there was a time I totally believed it was time to move on....
I am actually one of the co-founders of the 3D toon niche, everything you see today and over the years has been a direct result of what myself and 3-4 other artists did from 1998 - 2004 by 2004 I was dubbed "The godfather of 3D Toons" and I worked with, consulted, sold content to almost every company that got into the market.
It was ALWAYS profitable and it still is today
I will say this reluctantly and somewhat cryptically
Lets say you have a great job, make say, $5k - $8k a month or more, stock away a ton of savings, have yourself a great little nest egg.
Then you leave the job because you get the feeling that it's time may be past and due to the way it's being handled now by some shady people it's going to implode and start loosing people money and maybe even get taken out by laws and or credit card companies.
then things happen and those savings go away due to family emergencies, and trying to help people who straight up fucked you in return. and over a short time you're left with nothing and have to rebuild from scratch.
Is it then the fault of your work choice that money is now gone and or tight?
the fault lies in me for being trusting when I should have been cautious, and then things that were totally out of my control (family emergencies)
It was always profitable for me, and I know it still can be AS LONG as I continue to switch to the video route, companies want video content and there is a void there to fill it. many want exclusive content and that brings in more money.
I am the farthest away from willing to drown for my ideas or beliefs my biggest problem was I STOPPED producing content for the last 2 years and THAT is one of the core reasons I am where I am today the other is the total lose of my savings.
