Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000:points: .
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine  that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam  deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

:bulletred: You don't need to watch me to enter. But please keep in mind that the giveaway ends sooner when

Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me. :la:
Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang. :D

Refs Needed

Hello, are you still there? lol
-
Hmm. I'm not sure if I'm going to do it or not yet, but I have a project I would like to attempt to do, but I need some help deciding on the subject.

Sooo, if you guys would please, link me to some pictures of interesting looking animals that you don't often see in art!

OR, link me to a few pictures of interesting looking people/settings, or even some pictures of yourself would work!

As an aside, if any of you know of some good pastel tutorials (of the dry variety), that would be wonderful!

Thanks in advance! :D



Did You Notice?

A bit off topic, but I was wondering if any of you noticed the extra goodies I have to the left side of my journal now? There are links to where I can be found online such as my FA account, LJ, FB, and so on, as well as a special feature! Currently it is for a free audio book series that I am very much in love with at the moment, but I will be changing this and adding a new feature occasionally, so keep an eye out!

Alright, that's all for now I suppose! :hug: Byebye!

You could do an Ant Lion. I haven't seen them done in a while. I think the larval form that makes a pit for ants to fall in would be the most interesting form to do. [link]

And lions are so cool! We have some in our yard..I'd never thought to do art of them though!

I guess the best inspiration comes from looking at what's around you just a little harder than you normally do!

AREN'T THEY JUST?? I saw them on a National Geographic special and just adore them.
Yeah I was gone for pretty much all of 2010. It was a lousy year. :tears: I had a major friend falling out, got diagnosed with an untreatable genetic disease, and lost my house to foreclosure.
BUT, I'm doing pretty good now. I'm preparing for a cross country move that I hope will be therapeutic. Also I'll be able to go to cons and things like that which I've only ever dreamed of.
Lately my biggest problem is dealing with tracing teenagers. :iconfacepalmplz: I'm thinking about unwatching every single group I'm in, seriously.
Other than that I'm working on a huge project that I have a journal posted up about. :nod:
IRL, doing okay. There are days my joints don't want to work very well, but I'm alive. My kids are great, and I love my hubby as much now after 10 years as I ever did. :love: So, packing is hectic, but things are good. I'm actually pretty excited.

Oh man, sounds like you've been through a rough time D: but I'm really glad things are starting to look up for you!!

My life has been a little bit less dramatic, but just as chaotic! Working really hard on college, constantly scouting forums and such looking for possible art jobs, working on portfolio artwork hoping to create work that makes me more desirable as an artist, planning the future, saving money for a car and future visits with my boyfriend, spending time with my family, etc etc etc xD Life is crazy, isn't it!
