I agree and did told her more than once (not the only one), but since she can't make a living out of it right now - she finds it hard to believe... so - she keeps trying, keeps improving her style and I really hope that one day she'll get there... I wish i could help her with more than verbal support, but i'm not in that position right now (i live in Romania - she lives in Argentina and don't have any relations in art world), I have great respect for talented people and I find it sad that - some can't earn a living doing something their skilled at. 
Thanks for your sincere and kind words - i'm sure she appreciates it as well and i'll tell her eventually - she'll be a quest of honor in a topic dedicated to her - my tribute for her work, just a small gesture of appreciation.. 
PS.I wouldn't go that far to say that all people from Riot feel the same - maybe just those that handle the showcase... but that's alright - i guess, different people - different tastes.
