10 years ago I came across the magical tool that was a wacom tablet, and grinded my teeth to invest in one despite of not having a real practical justification for it... Working in the game industry or as a professional digital artist had never seriously crossed my mind. I sat down for a long, whole day and was proud of what I produced - a night elf warrior.
In the last year, I began contemplating redoing the painting. Many procrastination and several sketches abandoned at various stage later, I used the final day of my Christmas/New Year break to finally do it. I kept the subject-matter and the general color scheme, but couldn't really think of a cool sitting pose or mood so I cheated and changed the pose. Maybe 10 years later I'll be able to make fireside resting look exciting.
Happy new year and go kick some butt

How did you get so good? Self taught or did you go to school? I just want to know if going to art school is worth it.

I went to a game school rather than art school and learned 3D stuff mostly at the school. I would recommend taking some video courses from sites like schoolism or follow free tutorials from youtube and gumroad for say, half a year, and see where that gets you. It may help prep you for an art school or work for you well enough that you can educate yourself without being 100k in debt. I do recommend taking fundamental art courses from local colleges if possible.
In fact, the better advise would probably start with a question: where do you wanna take your art? If you'd like to have a job in a particular industry it might be good to look at entry level requirements for the most in-demand jobs in that industry. I started out as a 3D artist in the games industry then learned a lot from my peers. If you are not in a hurry or financial bind, a more structured and art-focused learning might be worthwhile.
