Hi all

I currently work a normal 9 to 5 job and I want to be a game artist but I don't want to be starving obviously, so what I want to ask you all is, how easy is it to live on the salary of a game artist? Is freelance workable or do you really need a permanent contract with a studio to be able to live reasonably comfortably?

If anyone wants to say what they find to be an average salary for an artist with 5 years experience or so that'd be great.

Thank you!
