As much as I would like to aim high for the Lead Artist role. I think a more reasonable entry point for me currently would be as a sprite or concept artist within the 2D field... I think this is more suited to my natural talents.

 

 Below is a piece I have found on production Artists:

Production Artists

• As part of the game art process, massive numbers of production artists are needed to complete the finishing touches on characters, backgrounds, textures and coloring in of the actual game environment itself. This requires a steady hand and plenty of patience as each section must be filled in using digital art applications by hand. The process of designing and completing each part of the video game can take months, even years, so a large team of production artists are contracted to do the work. This is often accomplished by in-house teams as well as independent contractors who work from remote studios. Production artists can make approximately $20 to $30 per hour in most regions.
