QFT, I don't have a crystal ball OP, but IMO you are VERY skilled. That kind of artistic ability, combined with alot of hard work and a little luck can really take you far.
Obviously you enjoy it, so to me it looks like you're one of the lucky people who will actually make the two types of activities in life ((1) those you do b/c you want to, and (2) those you do so you can do the activities in (1)) the same thing!
Congrats, you sir have found a recipe for happiness!
