As both an artist and a writer, I know how hard it is to get published for the first time. Being featured in the Renderosity Magazine has helped to promote many artists and writers, by giving them the opportunity to become a published writer or artist. Which is a very prestigious honor to be published. With all respect, this is one of the things that is MOST frustrating about being in a creative field. There are so many people out here who want to find work, and who want to be published. However, for every creative person that is out there seeking recognition, there is another who wants content for free, with no compensation other than for the sake of being published or for the sake of recognition. It takes time to write a quality article or tutorial - and the going rate for articles in other magazines can be as much as a grand or more (yup, four figures!) In all fairness, you should offer some form of compensation. I agree with Penguinisto ... how about at least a free subscription ... or $100 worth of items from the store for free?
