perhaps I'm too arrogant, but I need to rant or else I'll transform into Godzilla and spinkick you all.
So my entry for a certain cover contest was knocked out in favour of another. I don't have much of a problem with that. It's understandable that mine did not suit the requirements of the contest.
but what really pisses me off is that they want to use my cover as an insert page inside the book. I know that this doesn't sound too bad, but I believe in the phrase, "go big or go home". honestly, why even offer second place for a contest which has one winner? I'm a sore loser and I felt that even suggesting that just reiterates my loss. what a humiliating and demoralizing backhanded slap in the face. I hate to lose. no one likes to lose.
now, this takes the cake. They wanted to take my quote to put on the front cover. my arrogance as an artist doesn't allow anyone to tamper with my work (unless for commercial reasons). I feel that not only my pride as an artist was sullied, but also as a free thinking individual. thievessss
I like to think of myself as a pretty chill person...but they did everything that would piss me off. everything. The last time I felt this upset was when some random kids gave me a verbal beatdown in pmall. And that traumatized me for years. It still bothers me today...and this is going to bother me for a long time.
I just feel so used. completely and utterly so. ;_____;
