Aww, Beth! Don’t be comparing yourself to her like that, it isn’t right. Good things come in small packages (no pun intended). 🙂
Also, Stephanie doesn’t have a clear picture of what she’s talking about, as there ARE comic artists that can do very well in the industry with the right skills and the right connections.

Furthermore, who says being a comic artist means you can’t also draw storyboards or do other commission-based graphic design work?
