I can definitely get that sense of falling. But he seems so serene.
I'd be all "WTF?!?! O S#@% !!!

Y'know?

Still, why aren't you published???

Actually, he too was all, "WTF?!?! O S#@% !!!" He put up such a fight that the other angels gave him the ol' K.O. rather than deal with him.

Lawl, the more you know!

And I don't mean to sound dull, but what does it mean to be published? :x I'm sorry! I assume it means to have something published, but...what sort of something? Published where?

(Thank you for being patient with me!)

    Ummm, published can mean a multitude of things.
    They all usually deal with the artist having to submit their portfolio to a publishing company, and then waiting and waiting and waiting to hear back from the company about whether or not the company thinks you're good enough to be published in whatever the company deals with, whether it be a comic company, a magazine company, etc...

    It's kinda stressful and unnerving... Also, the process of making a presentable portfolio is hard too. If you don't have any references from schools or established people in the art world, then it's tough to get your stuff published sometimes.

    It's usually easier to go to comic conventions and have someone look at your portfolio and give you constructive criticism about what they'd like to see...

    Also, an easier way to get published is to enter contests, like the Rising Stars of Manga that TokyoPop does every year...

    Wow, that was a long explanation... Sorry.
