In software development? Defintely. In art? No.

If we don't count the time needed to master their skills (which we don't for software development either), artists have often created profitable works in a couple of weeks or less.

Songs that were conceived and recorded in a few days have become big profitable hits (e.g. "Doctoring the Tardis"). And of course a napkin sketch from someone like Picasso can easily fetch like $1000 or $5000.

Deadlines are set for art all the time, and some of the greatest works were commissioned on a deadline.
