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

.
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?)

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

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.

Kiriban Caught + Facts About Me Meme

Mon Jan 7, 2013, 10:05 AM

^{LastFM | Tumblr | Twitter | YouTube | LiveStream | Ask Me Anything | Commissions}

Hi everyone! I hope your new year has started off well.

I've noticed that my pageviews have quite recently crept over 90,000 (which is still kind of hard for me to believe - that's really is a lot

). I have never held a kiriban before but upcoming 100,000 is such a huge number that I thought that I'd make an exception. So, if you look at my page one day and notice that you happen to be the 100,000th visitor, take a screenshot of it and send it to me via note - I'll think of something to reward you with.

I think that's all for now. I'm busy writing my thesis again, and I'm also hoping to finish some comics after a while. Take care everyone and have a great week!

EDIT: So the kiriban was caught by

Congrats!

Oh my, over 100,000 pageviews.

Thank you so much everyone for visiting, watching, commenting and

ing! I really appreciate your support.

-Something I want to do before I die: Create something that gets widely recognized – it would be nice to leave at least something behind
-Something I wish had happened in a movie or book: Usually that someone hadn't died – I could write you a ten pages long list of books and movies where I'd like to apply that :/

-If I were given the opportunity to go into space, I would: Try to locate New Earth. Or Citadel. Or Kashyyyk. Or maybe just a certain blue box...

)

-If I were an actor, my favourite role would be: I would love to play the role of Gray Warden in the movie version of Dragon Age: Origins

-A song that makes me sad: Tehosekoitin – Hetken tie on kevyt: [link]

-Gift wrapping things: Love it

And finally

-Do you like to daydream?: That's pretty much all I do so yeah...

-Are you afraid of the dark?: If the environment is familiar, no. Anywhere else, hell yes.
-Do you like looking at the sky, night or day?: Yes, both
-Did you enjoy the last movie you watched?: Oh yes. Yes I did. That would have been The Hobbit which is probably the best movie I've seen in couple years or so...

-If you met a version of you from another dimension, let's say a fantastical, crazy dimension, what do you think your other self would be like?: Could be a nord Dovahkiin or a druidess Kalach-Cha. Or more likely some hermit artist living in the backwoods.
