It's frustrating to realize that skill isn't the main component of success these days; marketing, on the other hand, is.
Talent is irrelevant unless one knows how to promote oneself. In my years working for others, rarely was the most qualified or hard-working person promoted or rewarded; it was the most visible folk who knew how to play the social game.
One thing I've decided recently is that it is essential I improve my skills at becoming noticed; this is the only way I'll be able to continue to survive as a freelance artist, and may help me in achieving my webcomic/publishing dream down the line.
