This calculation also disregards the difference between raking in money from evergreen product that continues bringing in money over time vs. one-time payments for contract work, and the sunken time and work from abandoned and unpaying projects.
It also disregards that your position in the market is that of a producer with connections, experience, dedicated fans, and name recognition. It also disregards the fact that, as a designer, you are better than average. None of these factors are reproducible.
Vincent, it is pretty transparent that you are marketing your point of view here. A balanced analysis is not present in this post. I don't know what the conclusions of a balanced analysis might be, but presenting your experience and resources as typical is unhelpful to all other persons besides yourself.
