what are the odds you make it as an independent comic artist?

Im 21, having just finished my degree, and my families egging me on to become a full time wagie, which is gonna take away alot of my time. During days I don't work my casual job, I usually able to get atleast a page of my comic done, but working full times gonna cut down on my time alot. Put simply I just wanna draw all day, but while they like my art, they all say how shit the industry is.

Talked to some professionals a few days ago for some portfolio reviews, and the consensus was that it was better than most, and needs a bit more refinement and detail before it could be published, (which is fine cause im all about the grind).

Is trying to make money through building a fanbase, and using patreon/ physical sales, viable to ever get a livable wage. I wanna be similar to Terry Moore, in terms of selling indie comics (and that what I writes pretty similar to his stuff, except without an obsession with lesbians)

Put simply, how do I become Terry Moore. do I need to wear his skin? Dance around his house with his clothes on? I dont wanna do anything weird so I reckon Ill try the clothes thing,
but if I wanna become a comic artist like Terry, is it possible, and what should I try to do?
