Screwed Over by my College

Sat Nov 21, 2009, 1:14 AM
  • Mood: Miserable
ON A MORE FUN NOTE I'M SETTING UP A LITTLE CONTEST!!! THIS IS MY FIRST CONTEST SO PLEASE AT LEAST TRY IT ):
the last day of entry will be January 20th 2010

Rules: I want you to create your own version of this character I created a long while back. [link]
It has to be close to the same body/anatomy build, but maybe a bit more modern if you like. Add in anykind of markings you want, however there will be no jewelry, clothing or the like. Just the character how it is. You may add a front and a back if you like. It will give you more points, and tell me a bit about the character. Age, name, personality etc.

Prizes:
1st place winner will receive 3 drawings of their characters or if you have a furcadia account I could make 2 feral portraits.

2nd place winner will receive a drawing of one of their character's with another character together in one picture

3rd place winner will receive a character sheet of their choice

MORE EXAMPLE IMAGES : [link] , [link] (but no clothes)

Well, it has finally came down to it. I have to drop out of college after dealing with imputent staff and instructors. Denying a few weeks away graduate from graduating. All because of one class. Senior Seminar, a challenging writing class that is required for passing. I admit, I had alot of trouble in that class. Not understanding the long, mind boggling articles we had to read and then write an essay on for each week. Like any normal student would, I took initiative and asked the teacher if she could help me. She gave me the notion to get a tutor. However I am unable to take up such a thing due to my extremely tight schedule. Which was why I asked her personally to begin with. I told her my situation, that I couldnt understand the readings and it was why I didnt have my essay ready to turn into the class. The teacher sent no email reply back. Leaving me in the dark, and left me to fend for myself by doing as much work as I could possibly withstand. My essays sucked and got low scores on them, I couldnt participate with the class discussions cause I had no idea what the articles were trying to get at. All of this, as well as in the email I recieved after I sent in my two page appeal letter...it stated: that I had missed two classes, (cause I got a suddenly sick) and was tardy several times (B.S!) I was never ever tardy. This teacher has given a false accusation to make herself look good. Knowing that my extensive and well-thought out appeal paper would kick her ass. Also she decided to add in how many assignments I had missed, DUH!! cause I couldnt understand the reading and you refused to help me! WTF.
I dont know what I'm going to do right now. Tried calling my bf a few minutes ago...right now it is 1:00 in the morning. I need to talk to somebody. I'm lost and I know that the next step is a forked one. My parents will no doubt sue the school and most likely the teacher. My mom mentioned something about putting an article in the daily news paper too. Warning out of high school students to stay as far away as they can from this school. I would indeed like to tell my fellow students and friends here on DA to get out of AI as swift as possible. There are alot more art colleges out there that will be a whole lot better than this one. For your money sake and for your personal mental health is concerned. They will drain every penny you have till they feel satisfied and then screw you over like they did to me. Because of one, fucked up class I will not graduate, and on top of that. I have no more money to fork over for them to even consider taking another term.
There is one last chance I have, but I fear it will be a lost cause. I was told that is I feel the committee's decision should be turned over in favor to me, then I have to contact the dean of academics.

I dont know how I'm going to break it to my parents.

I've got to say, I'm rather impressed by your gallery. :3 I love your anatomically accurate stylization of both big cats and canines. And even humans and 3D works. You're a jack of all trades, I'll tell you what. X3 Even I can't get the hang of 3D modeling.

Thanks for the watch, friend. I think I shall return it.
Really interesting character designs too, while I'm here throwing compliments at you. X3 I like what you do with color schemes.

thank you lots and lots ^_^ actually I really suck at 3D and prefer 2D stuff. It took me years of practice for stylistic, yet semi-accurate body structure. More or other it was very simple, as I use pretty much the same structure for most of my animals. Just stretch a belly here, or muscle up a limb here, etc. Except for equines though. They're tougher. :3

btw I'm glad to have you watch me in return. <3

*Poke* haven't talked to ya since about Halloween. How goes life? I'm doing Christmas shopping this month and next for friends and family, so if you could write me a list of things you want that would be great since I don't know if you've gotten anything since we last talked. I've had a hard time this year coming up with presents for people just because I don't know what they want/need; I blame brain fog and people being all quiet lol.
:iconcreaturecreatingbabe:
lol my life's been hecktic. School trying to pull some last minute bs on me. So I threatened to sue them and now I have to wait for a committee to review my case to get a grade appeal for one of my classes. This grade change is important cause it's holding me back from graduating this term.
You shouldnt feel obligated to get me anything. I dont even have money to get anybody anything ):

Oh geeze, I'm sorry they're being pains over there, it seems that school likes to be really difficult. You've made it through their bull before though, just keep strong and try if possible to think positively.

Well you've been my best female friend since high school. I don't expect anything from anyone, but I like giving gifts on Christmas when I can afford to.
:iconcreaturecreatingbabe:
It's being a pain in the ass, and I'm planning to go straight in there with a lawyer. I dont have time to waste on whenever the dean of academics is going to get this fixed.

Well, if you must get me something. I suppose I could think of something. If you can find it that is. I havent been to the store for a long long time so I'm not sure what's on the shelves. There's a Wii gamed called "Rune Factory Frontier" that I have my eyes set on. If you got that for me, I would be very very happy and appreciative. I'll try and scrounge up some money somewhere. If I found some, what would you like?

Ah, I understand. I wasn't sure what the time frame was, I just want things to go smoothly for ya. I hope it all works out.

I can certainly get that for you, I found it online brand new but I'll have to buy it at the beginning of next month. I haven't seen it stores offline either. If you really want to do something for me for Christmas maybe you can draw me something just if/whenever you get the time to do it and aren't stressed out (digital or paper, whatever's easier); you know I love your style. If not then that's fine too, like I said I don't expect anything from anyone. Especially not in this economy. Thanks for letting me know though, I wasn't sure what games you already had or wanted and I was hesitant to get you anything that would take up too much space considering the room you're in isn't huge.
