End of semester...
19 years ago
An artist with no deadlines is unemployed!
***Art Stuff***
I'm going to be opening commissions soon. The end.
I have so much homework to do this week (last week of the semester), I think I'm going to throw up. And I'm out of food/money. YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY.
MSN PEOPLE: to those poeple who keep asking me for my MSN, or figuring out what it is (since it's not that hard to do) understand that I am NEVER, EVER on MSN. If you see me on there (and not marked busy), it's because I'm checking my email, and I probably don't have time to chat. I don't list my info here for a reason - so I don't seem rude to people who enjoy chatting. Understand that while I will add you to my contact list, you will likely never see me on.
Please stop taking this as a personal insult and leaving angry messages when I leave MSN on for a few hours while I'm not at home watching it (it's happened twice now and I would rather not deal with it anymore).
***Life Stuff***
Moving back with fiance. Thank GOD. I miss him so much and this semester has been miserable without him.
Did I mention that TODAY, I need to make a 12 second animation? And that I haven't STARTED yet?
WoW is awesome, I completed the task to get into the beta, but since I don't have confirmation, I have a funny feeling they're just going to ignore the winners and never do the beta. Or something like that.
Oh, I'm also perpetually exhauted now as I have found out I'm highly anemic. Not eating makes it even worse. YAY!
***RANT TIME!***
My (new) character design teacher is a JERK. He has nothing positive to say about anyone's work (his favorite phase is "this is shit, I mean what the fuck!?" if not "Disney would never use this shit. You know what I'm saying?") and then has the AUDACITY to tell us "Someone said that I'm harsh, well I have to treat you all the same. I can't be funny and have fun, because people would think I was being nice to some of you and mean to others."
Everything he says has a strong italian accent, and he refuses to explain himself in words he's uncertain of pronouncing correctly, which means we often only get HALF an idea and then he blames us for not doing all the work needed - even better is if someone asks him a question the he doesn't understand he's likely to say "yes, yes." and not actually mean it.
He also get completely pissed off at people who ask him questions he doesn't like. If asked to explain himself (because we're tired of being yelled at) he treats you like the stupidest most inconvient person on the face of the planet.
He also loves to find a piece of someone's work and without asking if he can show it to other people, holds it up and goes "This guy can't draw. Look at this. this is terrible. What did you think you were doing? look at this, this and this. You'd never get hired with this."
He also has this TERRIBLE way of looking right into your eyes when he's talking to the whole class. So when he's yelling at all of us it really feels like he's yelling at one person. I'm also not one to look away when he does lock eyes with me, but it pisses me off something awful.
I'm a feline! Don't fucking get in a staring contest with me! I hate having to prove I can look him in the eye when it feels like I'm being scolded.
OH! and another thing he does is treat us like a bunch of kids. I'm 24, and there are several people in the class who are older than me, and most people are over 20. But he acts like we're a bunch of punk kids who don't want to listen and don't want to learn. And it angers all of us, because we're PAYING HIM to teach us.
If we didn't want to be there, OMG, we'd FUCKING SKIP.
Also, he's only about 30-35? He's not that much older than us. There's absolutely no need to throw your weight around that much!
Best thing about this asshole is he LOVES to tell us "okay, this is what you're doing. I want this, this, this and this."
then next week, we arrive with these things done and he goes "so where's the rest of what's due?" and when we look confused he yells at all of us for being lazy.
He never writes down what's due (or gives handouts), and changes his mind for every class. Which means the ONLY class that knows what's due is...the last class of the week. Which of course is the only class he gets along with. Not that he understands that's HIS fucking fault.
Also, he says one day "Calvin and hobbes are great, I want you to study them." By the end of the week, This translated to "I want you to buy a copy of Yukon ho, and study it for a pop quiz next week"
There were only 30 copies of the book at the bookstore! FOR 100 STUDENTS! ::headdesk::
Oh and the thing I love best is his once-a-day declaration that "being a jerk means that you'll never get hired in the industry" which means, I assume, he doesn't want us to chalenge his authority or else he'll personally smash our names at all the companies he has major connections to.
(which includes Disney, Pixar and others)
What he doesn't get is he's completely pissed off 100 people who will enter the business (via our own connections) and ruin HIS chances at ever getting a job again.
And to be honest, while I might allow him to be an underling (since he can obviously draw), I would NEVER put him in charge of anyone, especially women. He's a fucking liability - of not a hefty harassment lawsuit waiting to happen.
Oh and even better - there's a policy at the school that states that if the teacher is unapproachable, we can talk to our dean and get him to tell this guy to fix things. Well, as you might have noticed this guy IS impossible to communicate with, so when people have complained to our dean this guy yells at us for not talking directly to him.
After threatening our careers, never explaining anything fully, treating us like morons, getting upset when we ask him questions, and swearing at us and calling us all lazy he wants us to say something like "It would be nice if you'd oh, give us handouts so we KNOW what you want"?
No. No one is that stupid, sorry.
If you're thinking I'm just being emo about things, and I should give this guy the benefit of the doubt because he IS a new teacher, I did that for the first 3 weeks, until I realized that going to his class was basically depressing me so badly I wasn't able to function for the remainder of the week. On top of the fact that I was sick as a dog because of that anemia thing, it was all I could do to drag myself home and cry.
And if you're curious as to why we haven't all abandoned this class:
~ Many of us want to go into character design, and we love the subject so much, we just go to the class hoping we might learn something this week.
~ We're forced to by school regulations.
~ This class (while subdivided with animation) makes up a great deal of our mark.
~ He's promised to fail anyone who skips. Thanks asswipe.
I'm going to be opening commissions soon. The end.
