"Heaven holds no sorrow like love to anger turned, and Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
Don't know who said it, but they were right on the money.
Don't suppose I mentioned it, but I'm in the Honors program at this particular university. Don't suppose I mentioned it, but I've been shoved into a cruddy little "mentor group" and we're being forced to pretend we all like each otherand we're going to have a competition with the other teams. My mentor, whom I normally have no problem with, said as a treat to us, we would have team shirts. Whoopdeefrickendoo. And, in the spirit of maybe actually trying to interact with people I took it upon myself to come up with a design.
Let me say this now, if I wanted to, I could be an art major, with very little problem.
So I DESIGNED an image, I worked at it, I researched on how our mascot, FLYING FREAKING PURPLE PEOPLE EATERS appeared in the original song, so I could know how to draw them. I struggled with making them as asthetically pleasing as possible while retaining the one-eye rule. I colored them with PRISMACOLOR. Those things are a dollar a pencil! I worried about the color scheme and making the purples noticably different from each other.
I turned in my design, my mentor liked it a lot, praised it and such. Made me feel like, 'hey, maybe this IS my group too!'
And at the meeting tonight, "my group" decided not to have t-shirts. FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC.
Oh, everyone said it was soo nice. It was a 'good picture' just a bit too 'anime-ish.'
I don't mind saying that I'm very angry right now. I don't deny that anime has had a profound influence on my art over the past seven years. But I've been working, with every picture I've drawn for FIVE YEARS to remove the influences. And I'd like to see how they make a monster look cute.
Ugh, all I want to do now, is curl up in bed and eat a cookie. I've taped my fox to the door already- I just don't care anymore if my roomate puts up hers or not.
Fear not, concerned or non-concerned readers. I shall be fine. Things will look better when I'm not so angry.
