What kind of jobs can support creative hobbies like drawing, playing music, making videogames etc? Especially if you don't want to live off your art.

Any job can do that.

Not as a doctor, archeologist or police officer, for example.

And why is that?

Do seasonal work. Three months of backbreaking miserable labour and then spend the other nine working on your projects

>Especially if you don't want to live off your art.
Literally why not?

Unless you're very good, you don't get to make good money out of it. If you're a decent artist and even if you get commissions, you'd just get enough for emergency cash here and there but not for daily life.

Get to a decent level as an artist (doesn’t take as long as you think if you draw a bit every day) and draw fetish images and porn you’ll make more than you think off that don’t fall for the industry meme I’m making more money than a full time job doing it because of patreon plus commissions even better if you learn blender animation too to a good degree and do the same like that one guy who makes Genshin impact animations on patreon of the girls fucking guys and each other and makes literal 10s of thousands a month right now

Passive jobs, typically ideally involving an office environment.
It's not exactly one particular job per se it's more like what a job environment is like. Some jobs sound like you will be doing a lot but you end up just organizing papers and processing data for like 4 hours a day in your own space with unregulated internet, other jobs may not be like that and have nosy colleagues or bosses. If you get a lazy passive office like job that accesses pc you can be done with your work early and then do your creative stuff on the side, or do your duties slower throughout the day by doing half half.
Directly however, it would be unironically creative jobs and doing what someone else tells you to do which would support in terms of dexterity by pumping out consistent work while trying to improve and being surrounded by creative people/ environment to help. If not an art job, then something like music or writing that would help.

Keep doing comms and two things will happen.
A) you will get better
B) you will get more and more fans
After a while you will get more customers you can take, so you either raise the prices or make a patreon.
If its what you enjoy doing you need to be extremely dumb not to pursue it as your fulltime job.

I began taking $20 comms and before I made a Patreon they were $100.

I think the fear with commission work is that it becomes even your art is centered. Are you able to do art you're passionate about or are you just pandering to a market?

What kind of writing jobs are out there? For a total pleb? I'm an Illustrator and do some writing but is not a skill I'm particularly good at.
Even if is something souless, I'm interested.

I do UX from home for a major corporation and there's a lot of downtime that I use to work on my art and garden

Look through the Furaffinity/Deviantart/Tumblr/Twitter catalog, there are multiple terrible artists getting and living off commissions.
Making it in art or any industry is more about networking and connections these days than skill, which is why you see so many of those lazy vector art and minimalistic low poly/pixel art stuff. For every photorealism model there is always 1 creative guy doodling icons and designing buttons or playing with fonts under the large banner of the company.
As for those people online who get commissioned for their terrible art it's always mainly because they do fandom, trend, etc things while trying to be positive and wholesome or whatever which is why they always fall under the popular opinions and such things to gain social appeal. It's either that or botting or trying to get emotional/reactive shock appeal.

Almost any job user. But there's certain knack to it, a relatively high barrier of entry:
You need to own your home, car, and have no other debts. You need to pay for no subscriptions services other than the essentials of electicity/water/sewer/Internet. (Streaming services give you something to do other than create, don't buy them), and have enough cash piled up that if everything else fails, you won't run out of money for about six months.
Then, you're out of the rat race and can do whatever the heck you want.

Investing if you're good,

What kind of art you do? Anime? I am interested in doing coms but I do western tier stuff, is it plausible to earn from coms that don't involve NSFW?

I don't know really. I feel like writing thesedays are mainly for online journalism/tv or multidisciplinary things like comics and visual novels. I only know of one person who lived off being a writer/editor for TV but that was probably due to networking. Gonna go get icecream, hope this thread doesn't die...

What kind of garden? :3

None. All commerical art is imported from Indonesia or Argentina because of its slave like labor laws. You can never compete here unless you have family tires to a company. You're better off working from home and just opening up a Furaffinity account and drawing diaper shit if you wanna make a living off your art.

How would you start getting commissions ? Like let's imagine i want to get one or two furry commissions, how should i go about it ?

>have my own flat
>no debts
>no family members to take care of
>no need for a car because never needed one
>stable easy office job
man, i want to just quit working but fear of missing out on this comfy job is stopping me from going full neet

>just keep drawing furry scat porn and globohomo propaganda that your clients request from you
You need to be EXCEPTIONALLY good to make a comfortable living as an artist while only drawing what you want to draw.

>man, i want to just quit working but fear of missing out on this comfy job is stopping me from going full neet
Can't you talk to one of your higher-ups to switch to part-time working? It shouldn't be an issue unless you're either the absolute dregs of the company or someone crucial to its business.
