The Star Trek - Borg...great....can almost picture a backstory there.
The Marvel Adventures w/ Captain America...Love it, though Bucky looks
a lil too much like Robin.  
 
I don't know if they have a cover artist or not, Hero Games
(www.herogames.com) is about to come out with a book called Dark
Champion's: The Animated Series. May want to check with them and see if
they have anything open :)  
 
Be a nice change to the usual stable of artist they have

 week,depending on my mood swings and for pin-ups and 
 covers, usually about 3 hours.

It's the missing section of JBs Captain America/Batman book...Robin and
Bucky switch places to see who really does have the better partner.

Some damn fine work, Anthony. And thanks for the words of 
 encouragement a few days back!
 Thing is, I have no intention whatsoever of pursuing a career in comics. I 
 just draw because I enjoy it! It's funny, I went to Pearl Paint a few weeks 
 back and bought some brushes for inking (I have never inked with a 
 brush before). And the worker assisting me kept asking me what I was 
 trying out for. He couldn't understand why I'd want to spend money on 
 professional art tools if I had no intention of becoming a professional.
 
 While there are times that I ponder What Might Have Been, after reading 
 your difficulty of maintaining steady work, I see I made the 
 right choice by sticking to my career on computers. If it's rough for an 
 artist of your caliber, I see no hope for a schmuck like me :)

Hey Vincent-
 It was rough because I made it so. It's very simple to thrive in 
 the industry, first and foremost be professional, nothing can 
 stall a career more. It doesn't hurt to be talented but then thats 
 subjective, there're plenty of guys that are filling a void in the 
 industry simply because the darn books need pretty pictures.
 Keep practicing, study art, not just classic art but pop 
 art.modern art and literature. Remember we tell stories, 
 understanding the narrative thread is key. I think it falls in to 
 place.Practice,practice.believe me it will click.

Castrillo, you've posted some of the best art I've seen this side of Byrne, 
 Rude, Simonson, Timm and Cooke. Ah-mazing.

Perhaps Anthony is really John Byrne posting under a "Pen Name?" ; - ) 
Sorry Anthony, a joke carried over from another thread.
