For those who don't know, Ethan van Sciver is a comic book artist who kicked off the
Comicsgate movement (Comicsgate thread at link). He wrote and drew a comic book about a robot frog fighting hornets from space- the first of four (I think)- and made something to the tune of a million dollars. Before that, he worked for DC Comics and was an acclaimed artist for Green Lantern. Ethan also has
an account here, where he takes our critiques like a champ (and sometimes claps back.)
In short, Ethan van Sciver is infinitely more successful than Patrick, and has been for some time.
