not always, MM. There are a LOT of people that post here that do not have a gallery on Renderosity, but have a body of work 'somewhere' ... just because its not here doesn't mean it doesn't exist. most magazine editors and art directors are also ... NOT artists. But they know what they want, and have a trained eye. Not fair to say they aren't qualified either. But the diff is, the latter group usually has a lot less TIME to give their opinions here. I know I have to send the stuff to my uncle myself, he sees the internet as some kind of beast that he wants nothing to do with.
