Congratulations! It was only a matter of time. Your work is stand-out quality, so it's well deserved I'd say.

There could be any number of reasons for the blocking... if this happens to anyone, I wouldn't take it too personally. Just shows they're not your people, and also that it may or may not have been a blessing in disguise.

Onward to better opportunities!

@Nyrryl-Cadiz nice congrats! Im very happy for you and thanks for sharing your experience. It’s the people that keep learning how else to get up as they get knocked down that make it!

@NessIllustration thank you for sharing too! I learned alot from what you’ve shared. I sent my stuff to KAT was it? They said what other agents have said, they like my art but there isnt a market for the kind of art I do. Funny because they werent the first ones to say that but they were the first to elaborate. So thank you for that

Awesome news!! Well done

[NessIllustration]

@Aleksey I'm so sorry to hear that However I must disagree with them: there IS a market somewhere for your art. I think what they mean is there isn't a market in children's book for your art. But your art does fit in somewhere, and you will find it if you keep looking. Maybe it's in comics, or video games, maybe it's T-Shirt designs, I don't know yet. If art directors won't hire you to create a product, you can also create your own products and sell them yourself. Let's all remember that so many people got told that, and proved everyone wrong. Tim Burton was once a Disney animator working on The Fox and the Hound (can you imagine that) and he was the weird kid that didn't fit in. He didn't last long there. But turns there WAS a huge market for his art, it just didn't exist yet. And your art isn't even as out there as his was. Your art reminds me a lot of what is being done in comics. Anyway, you will figure it out I just know it
