Stephen I did some networking. It wasn't an issue of there not being time to be reviewed. It was a matter of there not being the right people. I was able to connect with one or two of the smaller publishers that were okay with me emailing them work. As far as artist go with the exception of Marc Silvestri. No other artist I saw was in a position to offer me anything other than there opinions. Editors were not to be seen.
Still thou I learned a few lessons. the NYCC has changed so much. Looking at much of the original artwork on display. Made me see I was being way to hard on myself.
I learned that John Byrne is not a good artist to make your measuring stick. He's just too damn good. It's too daunting a task to try to compare to his work. I aspire to achieve that level of skill and professionalism. But to expect to be equal to what he does is insane.
It made me too critical of my own work. I don't want my work to look like John's work. But it needs to be able to be mentioned in the same breathe. When it didn't I would trash the work. At the convention seeing other people's work. I saw much of their work didn't measure up to what was in my head. Heck even some of JB's older work wasn't equal to what he's doing now.
