SCAD = Savannah College of Art and Design ??
I remember that school being whored to us back when I was a graphic arts major, but also thinking I couldn't afford it. All of these places wanting porfolios threw me for loop. I didn't know where to begin in constructing one (and I still don't know).
I think it's a form of discrimination. Unfortunately at the time I began college, anime began to have a greater influence in my stuff. One professor asked all of us to bring something we drew the first day of class, so I brought in a character I designed. He accused me of "ripping" off anime, though he didn't name anything specifically. I doubt he could because I didn't rip off shit. A guy in that class drew the Simpsons (not Simpsons-like, THE Simpsons) and **nothing** was said about his piece. After class, that guy even said he felt sorry that I got singled out like that while he was passed over. It was obvious that professor was a hater. If he didn't want any cartoony sorts of things brought in, he should've said so. It's like 101 people can rip off Bugs Bunny, but if I use a couple of frilly anime-like eyeballs I've suddenly robbed Clamp's secret cache. Goddamn, it still pisses me off to this day.
