People can make a living from writing, but usually they have some sort of day job and start publishing and figure out when they are beginning to make enough to quit their day jobs. --And as you know, it's not easy and can have its up and downs.

Opaque Reds--are usually expensive, like Cadmiums, although there are some hues that are closer to opaque. The more violet colored reds are usually not very opaque. There is probably some info somewhere about which colors for which brands are more opaque.

Not sure about the career advice. I'm pretty clueless, myself!

Good to see you working. And NO, you are not quitting. Success is fluid, it comes and goes. Furthermore, I don't let success define me. I let success FIND me. I pitched two different series to Image. Both got rejected. So, I'm doing a kickstarter. I don't need validation from a publisher to actually WANT to do it. I want to. I will. I had to get the strength to do it (and I'll still need to fight to do it), but screw it... I'm gonna do it! Hahah! I hope you find your strength, too.... whatever and whenever it can be found. But if the search stops it will never be found.
