Secondlina's Panels

I don't know much about webcomics or animation artists, but what I know about the artists friends I have, of which some are actually becoming succesful is that networking is very important, meeting people and letting them know that you exist, going to their gatherings to meet new ppl and enlarge your network, and that is linked with your social skills. Link's brother is an example, he got his 3D contract because his roomate is actually good at networking ( he is also lucky of having him around). Maybe that is something you could work on? Once again, im not sure how much this is relevant in your field but I hope you may find this useful...
