The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I try to not be persuaded by statistics as they can be easily worded in a person's favor. But as I read all the news of how Avatar outsold even Titanic I found it hard to believe. It's easier to make a million dollars in sales now than it was 10 years ago. Factor in inflation and you'll get more accurate numbers...

Factoring in inflation, Avatar is at about a third of what Star Wars and Gone with the Wind made.

If we even out the field, that is, if we only counted ticket sales... which one comes out on top?

Good luck with your last 4 weeks ND. Are you graduating?
At the end of May, yes.
But I feel like "waiting until the end of spring quarter, right before I graduate" to send out my portfolio (as the SCAD Illustration curriculum apparently suggests) is completely fucking stupid......so I'm aiming to have my portfolio finished in 4-6 weeks, so that then I can put everything together, finalize it, make it look pretty, and send it out shortly after.
I figure that they're not going to be like "WE REVIEWED YOUR PORTFOLIO RIGHT AWAY AND NEED YOU IMMEDIATELY SO WE CALLED YOU RIGHT AFTER". If I apply for jobs in April, I imagine that'll be okay.
So I've developed a recent love for the combination of aging/cracking varnish and shoe polish. Such an awesome effect.
......how ironic.
That's the exact stuff I'm working with this very second! The project in my Materials/Techniques II class is usin' this stuff - the aging varnish is sitting on my project right now.

You want to equate your short respite from the forums with the atrocity the Nazi party inflicted on the Jews in the early '40s.
You mean to say that your punishment was like months of backbreaking labor, followed by an ignoble death and subsequent usage of your body for its raw resources, if not just thrown into a ditch and then bulldozed over? And then the insult of a bill being sent to your fellow people for the cost of your confinement and subsequent execution?

But, all that stuff, times six million?
Are you stupid?

Yeah, I kinda thought you'd want to change your story when someone put it that way.

Hehe yep. I swear you and my fiance must have the same freaking professor right now (Rogers? I think, I don't know the ILLU faculty too well) since that's how I found out about the stuff. I'm going to be using it for a few effects in Ademar (using a tan polish instead of black, to keep it from overpowering the lineart). I've done a number of tests with it and man, the random chaos you can pull off with it just can't be done any other way.

Yes! And yeah, I'm enjoying it quite a bit too. After seeing Rogers' own examples, I decided to buy some rather than just use his in class...because it really is some cool stuff, and I know I'll use it again at some point for sure.

Ok, time to make a pitch:
It is a period of civil war...in space. Trying to escape the conflict between the northern alliance and southern nazis, a music teacher and an alien on a bike are commanded by God to cross their home planet's sea on a giant ship, only to have it sunk by a giant alien shark. They wash up on shore and encounter a poet, who later turns out to be possessed by the devil. They escape into the forest to get away from him, and befriend some small people and a large number of dogs. However, they are soon hunted down by the southern nazis. They ward off the nazis by using the dogs to lead a chariot that they run in large circles, while the little people, hidden in the trees, use home-made traps and snares to pick off their pursuers. Information from one of the dying nazis reveals an artifact, which can secretly can be used to melt nazis and therefore end the war, is being held by a banker on a tree-city on planet near Alpha Centauri, and our heros head there to grift the weapon out of him in a complex con job. Upon arrival, however, they find that the tree-city has been overrun by dinosaurs, and the weapon lies hidden under mud in a can of shaving cream, the result of another grifter's failed attempt to steal the weapon. Disillusioned, the music teacher becomes listless and aimless, and winds up being seduced by an older, vaguely Jamacian-accented alien.

You take your thumb, and you just stick it into the "barn door" there, wiggle it around...Just trust me, they love it.

thumb up the bum?
well thanks for taking all of the amusing imagery out of that.
