During my days at MtM, I made an issue of Maxine adding the course 'Drawing for Animation' to an already packed curriculum. The course content was a joke, the teacher didn't have a clue, and the only reason for adding the course was that Sheridan had a course with the same name. I argued changing the curriculum for enrolled students boils down to changing a contract after it is signed, but Maxine maintained she had the right to do so, as the owner of the school. She was wise enough to consult a lawyer, and the course was silently changed into an elective.<br /><br />In my final term, I agreed an exemption for the ToonBoom course, because the school didn't have enough computers for all students. I have an extensive background in computers and software, so I would better teach this myself. The agreement was made by email, but by graduation time, the school refused to pay back the tuition for this course, as well as the Advanced Life Drawing course I had mistakenly paid twice for. After a discussion that lasted almost one year, and me initiating a procedure with the Ontario Government, Maxine finally yielded, and paid me back the tuition for both courses.<br /><br />On the conceptart.org forum I have expressed my opinion that the owners of the school do not have the skills, knowledge, experience and industry contacts to guide aspiring students towards a career in concept art. Maxine sent me an email with a cc to her lawyer, telling me to cease and desist, or else she had no other choice but taking legal action; she had taken a screenshot as proof! Needless to say, I have never heard a word from her lawyer.<br /><br />The sheer fact that Maxine counters critique with intimidation of her students, and false legal claims, once more confirms that Max the Mutt has turned into a scam which serves its owners, at the cost of its students, and which protects its assets through intimidation, violence and lies.Izak van Langeveldehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012096078196849399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120473303733028202.post-39244863908149257022017-04-13T06:53:25.983-04:002017-04-13T06:53:25.983-04:00Amazing & killer artwork....keep it up dude.

That said, it's a small industry and I'm regularly contacted by former MtM students with their own horror stories to share.<br /><br />That said, Maxine did contact me this year and insisted I take it down, declaring her lawyer advised her she could sue. It was just another lie and behaviour of the sort that got her banned from various forums online. The window to sue over this closed many years ago, but she kept claiming her lawyer disagreed. As you can see, this entry is still up.<br /><br />Just based on reputation, Sheridan would be the program I'd recommend.<br /><br />Best of luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317124894602319823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120473303733028202.post-52974614671918504352016-12-02T17:18:25.916-05:002016-12-02T17:18:25.916-05:00Hello, I'm currently a high school student loo...Hello, I'm currently a high school student looking into post secondary. I didn't realize that MTM had so much drama with its name, finding out only after I made a walk through appointment with Maxine. When I spoke with her on the phone she seemed kind enough, but what I'm reading online begs to differ in some way. I'm just curious as to what went on at the school and with her that made everyone on edge. My walk though at the school is this Sunday, what should I be asking and what should I ask to see while I'm there? <br /><br />MTM isn't the only school I'm looking in, I've toured Ringling CoAD (though I'm not a millionaire so probably not lol) and Sheridan. Can MTM compete with them to any degree?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120473303733028202.post-27497455271820108532016-08-11T04:39:38.902-04:002016-08-11T04:39:38.902-04:00Hi, I wanted to make a comment about Watts Atelier...Hi, I wanted to make a comment about Watts Atelier, I was there for over 2 years using their online site. It worked fine up until this last month when the videos stopped working. I did everything in my power to fix the issues but I could not. I went to my repair techs and ISP and updated all my programs to no avail. I emailed and asked for help and had no answer after two weeks. My next payment cycle of $199 was coming up and I still had no suggestions of what to do. No refund when I asked for that month's missing videos.<br />The only answer I was given was,"we have a third party working on it". They say there are only a handful out of all their students experiencing this problem but I read that some have moved on to other online schools or some other way to learn. New sign ups could not access the videos and received no answer or refund either. <br />I paid $199 for complete access to their site. I kinda feel at a loss with this and sorry they are poor at customer service. I feel unimportant and just another number to them there. Be careful with this school they have a wonky website and lack lustre service from their staff.<br />I will be looking for other avenues to find my information and training. <br />MonikaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120473303733028202.post-29364217060450299512016-03-17T04:16:23.893-04:002016-03-17T04:16:23.893-04:00Cheers for this, Richard.

There's no need to let this go through to the public site if you don't want to, but I'm an editor at the Patheos Pagan Channel's blog named the Agora (http://www.patheos.com/blogs/agora). <br /><br />One of my authors wanted to use this art work on a recent post about Freyr and I'm just seeking permission to do so. Since the author gave me the post this morning at about 1 AM for a noon Eastern publication, I'm going to add it with credit to you, your blog, and this link. That said, please contact me at dashifen+patheos@gmail.com if you want me to remove the image from the site.<br /><br />Thank you!David Dashifen Keeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440938543448621585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120473303733028202.post-21511294102320238612015-02-19T16:40:11.648-05:002015-02-19T16:40:11.648-05:00You mean, something along these lines: http://burn...You mean, something along these lines: http://burningmonster.blogspot.ca/2009/01/drawing-big-boobs.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317124894602319823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120473303733028202.post-16048887501479190092015-02-19T13:51:12.655-05:002015-02-19T13:51:12.655-05:00I think your stuff is great and I'm going to b...I think your stuff is great and I'm going to be following your blog now. But with the breasts, give them a little more gravity in your pieces. In a few of these the lowest point seems to be where they connect to body. I'm not saying you should draw saggy unidealized breasts. Even just a little dip shows a sense of gravity and a natural sense of weight and curves. I think that's one of the things that Frazetta did with the female figure, really capturing the natural curves, weight, and gravity, that is so much more appealing than other fantasy artists whose models seem to have the unnatural and unappealing shape of silicone. I'm not at all suggesting your stuff is like that. I think it's great. My suggestion is not at all meant to diminish your talent or my enthusiasm for it.Todd Merrick Novak (aka beanlynch)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17693703593923517319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120473303733028202.post-65027747004231736052014-07-17T22:57:19.917-04:002014-07-17T22:57:19.917-04:00I like the look of these last few water-washed pie...I like the look of these last few water-washed pieces, Richard---they have a strongly fey vibe to them, with that diffused blending as the edges erode into alternate realities.
