>I think the general question here is how to properly start a career in Art?
Learn the fundamentals, do not chase tech trends, just spend years making progressively more complicated work and doing your absolute best and putting the most effort in that you can every step of the way

>How much years does it take for you to become some kind of Art Director of medium-large studio?
~6-8 at the absolute minimum, more often over 10

>How many years of working experience
no one cares, in fact you have a better chance of getting into a place like this as your first job, they know they can pay you less. i'm not joking and i myself got in this way

>what general softwares to use; etc
No one at this level cares, if you do great work you can learn to do it with different steps, the tool is not the hard part
>Tell me straight, is it realistic for someone to abandon everything and try to follow some general arts pathway looking at websites like Artstation and Scavenging the entire internet (piracy)?
School will give you structure but also cost you lots of money and give you tons of other shit to do that isnt helpful. You absolutely do not need a degree so unless your parents have money DO NOT waste your time in school just repeat the above, grind out the practice, only hours and hours developing fundamental skills will get you anywhere
