I can't comment on the whole post because of where I am right now, but about the artwork...
How can you possibly even say that about yourself??? I would kill to have skill like yours! O.o Every artist has a different style, and I was just as impressed with your work as I was with that Misako artwork right there. What I love most about yours though is that it is very different in comparison to what I just saw, whereas the one this sushimaster made is similar to many other styles I have seen. One thing you should be proud of is that you have your own unique style. Is it because sushimaster's seems more "realistic" in quality? Realism doesn't make for a better piece of art! The great thing about your artwork is that while the people may look less realistic, you still capture the absolute essence of your characters in cartoon form, especially in the case of AAA! I think, for artists, coming up with your own picture of what a person would look like as a cartoon is far tougher than just using your skills to draw a portrait of the person that reflects what the person looks like in real life.
Please don't put youself down. I can't even begin to dream of having the art and animation skills you have. And if I'd thought sushimaster's artwork was "better" than yours (and it's not--it's at most equal to yours, just a different style), I would have asked him/her to be an artist for the manga I want to write, not you. But guess who I asked?
^_~ Yes, because you've got more fine art talent in your pinky than I do in my entire body. XD
