You said you need to have priorities and I think that's great. Taking a hiatus to polish your skills and get somewhere in life is something way more important than some fanart. You've got a lot of potential and I would hate to see it going to waste, so here's a proposition: go out there and get somewhere in life. But i suggest you pick this series up again after a few years. Link also had great potential, but still they locked him up for 7 years so that he could face his destiny when he's at the peak of his abilities. Now i'm not saying you need to take 7 years off, but it would be a nice symbolic thing to do. Just promise to finish what you started. I don't give people credit for half work, so try your very best! I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors.
