Time to shine the rusty pen

[ `ABOUT YOU! ]

Name: Spirit and/or Dark
Age: Suffice to say that I'm a Junior in College
Contacts: Yahoo: spiritual _ arrow (take away the spaces)
A Little Bit About You: Hmm... a little about me, eh? Well, I'm an aspiring psychologist who's dabbled in this sort of thing as an aside of sorts. I've taught at a few of the old academies here and there, namely Delusive and Transparency. My images tend to have a more artistic flair about them and -lots- of color... I don't like the general flat look that I see many other personalizers using, and I rebel by using lots of color... and teaching myself and others how to use it -well-. I'll admit, some of my stuff is probably not as good as it could be, but as the subject says, it's time to shine the rusty pen.
Why You Want To Work Here: Well... there -aren't- a massive array of academies that are alive and well, are there? Not to mention, I know one of the staffers here and... well... have known them for quite a while.
How You Found Us: Through the staffer that I know.
Any Questions: Plain and simple.

[ `ABOUT THE IMAGES! ]

Experience: I made images for about 3-ish years, then have been on an artistic hiatus for about two
Program: Photoshop 7.0

What You Want To Learn To Do: We need to know this to know exactly what teacher is best for you, and that we don’t treat you like a beginner if you aren’t one.

2+ Cutting Examples: Well, technically this is a completed image, but it's more or less a piece of cutting with a bit of wit attached..

Hehe... just seeing this reminded me of its finished image... I loved -my- version of Ratori...

This was my version of an image I've used in teaching classes before.

This one.... I had issues with. I wanted to leave it like this...

.... but the version my instructor at the time liked was nice too...

<.< If someone can pick out the the secret object in that last one, they get a cookie.
3+ Examples Of Your Lessons / Tutorials: It might just be that I have a headache and that it's later on at night, but I don't quite get this question. Perhaps one of my above images answers it?

And yes... I realize there's a mix of links and what not in my post... that's to keep the board from stretching -too- much.

Umm... are you looking to be a teacher or a student? Some of the questions on here say 'student' but some of them, like the last one, imply being a teacher. I think you may have the forms mixed up a bit?

And second, you don't put credits on any of your images? We need to know where the images come from, and most stockers ask that they be creditted if your image is used off site. This is to avoid copyright violations and lawsuits.

*chuckles* My bad... I accidentally seem to have cut/pasted from both applications. I was applying for a teaching position.

As for the crediting... many of these images were while I was a student myself, and I was not given an author to credit (i.e. many came from the instructor's photobucket). However, I can easily fix such from this point forth, since I am well aware of the copyright issues presented by not doing such (as well as the American loophole in the copyright policy).

Oh yes, and for those images that came off of DeviantArt, I followed the stock-owner's policies for usage. When I -find- a policy, I apply it, since I'd only expect such from users wanting to use my own personal art.

_{Okay, just to let you know, I have looked at this but I'm not entirely sure what to do with teacher applications and I have sent a message to Zodiac asking her and so hopefully I will find out soon.}

Hehe.... I'm guessing that we're still in the dark as to what to do?
