tighten up your strokes a bit, do some more commercial stuff, and you almost definitely probably could. Only issue comes when the thing you do for fun becomes the job you can't escape

Never done etching before...wait, maybe once in intermediate for home ec

But it's basically crosshatching and using lines to shade, right?

Not right now, but I can make one. I have a friend at AUT that can show me how

Doing art as a subject in secondary school really threw me off, the teacher was a cow. I didn't like the whole "deep and meaningful" modern art side to it, I just drew whatever I wanted lol

FOCK THE POLICE

Amen to that. Hated it. Especially when the person next to me got good marks for going abstract/modernist, and I was struggling to get through by attempting to do realism.
Fcuking grades. Lucky they don't help ya get a job in the industry. I'd be screwed.

If you want to get into animation just send me a PM. One of my jobs is working for an animation school and I reckon the head tutor would be interested in chatting to you about your work.
