Amber Unmasked » Horrendous Swipe Files Lead Kubert School to Fire New Teacher

Amber Unmasked » Horrendous Swipe Files Lead Kubert School to Fire New Teacher:

Wow. I can’t even imagine doing this. Though I know for a fact people fake their way into positions all the time. One guy used MY art, along with several other artists, to get hired at Square Enix once. I also had my entire figure drawing portfolio stolen at Sheridan once (presumably in order to get into Animation. It was kept in a drawer with everyone elses in the drawing room, they said it happened from time to time and I had to scrape together a new portfolio for that term from leftovers) But whether at Square or the Kubert school, it’s always baffled me that someone would try to do that. Ok, say your stolen portfolio gets you hired or whatever… Then what? They’re going to expect you to do some work AFTER you’re hired, and it’s going to be something you can’t steal, so you are GOING to get found out as a fraud, and likely pretty quickly. And this guy, if you look at the slides he was using, they may be nice enough drawings, but many are not good representations of the concepts they are meant to illustrate, so he probably doesn’t even understand the concepts he’s supposed to be teaching on a basic level.

dylanmeconis:



I just posted something I’ve been wanting to write for a long time: an essay on how NOT to write comics criticism. It’s my personal hit-list of the top ten intellectual misconceptions, dumb shortcuts, and silly cliches that I encounter in otherwise intelligent book reviews, articles, and interviews.


You can read it over at my blog!

/CO/ Request: “Silly training montage of 52 deathstroke training 52 midnighter. Grading him on different assassiny things (Punching people through the face, A. Improvised weapons, B+. Ignoring femme fatales trying to distract you, A++)”



Heh, nice. you know what your avatar + this made me want to see? Catwoman trying to flirt with Midnighter. He’s totally her type, her… not so much his. :p

So… remember that pegasus I was doing? well, the line art...













So… remember that pegasus I was doing? well, the line art is done now, (has been done for a long time actually) all those tedious repetitive feathers. Now I’m a bit torn on the shading. The thing is, from the very start, I wanted him to be a leopard spot appaloosa. So I drew spots, simple enough. It looked fine. Now, shading spots requires a special technique, (which I perfected just for Kent since Galen is also an appaloosa, incidentally) otherwise, well I’m sure you can imagine it becomes a bit of a pain. So I shaded it on another layer, and that gets overlayed later. The shading isn’t quite finished yet, but so far? I like it. I like it a lot. But then when you overlay it with the spots, the shading kinda gets lost, and I’m sad…. so… I dunno. what do you all think? should the spots stay or go?
