More power to you, and you always have software as a backup plan if things don't work out.

One of my close friends went through a similar change from software to art. It took 4 years until she found her way and her audience. She's still not making much but she is much happier than when programming.

It's still going to be a hustle for you, but it's a different kind of hustle. And that's ok. Enjoy the journey!
