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.

IMPORTANT: Please be sure to state what you did

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?)
Draw a

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

Advice and TutorialsSo this First Advice and Tutorial Journal will be on General Anatomy and Such. The second will be up to you so please comment below in what you think the next Advice and Tutorial Journal should be on.

What I personally find the hardest to draw is feet and hands. I found that with a lot of practice and a lot of frustrating mistakes my feet and hands actually look at the very least almost the way i want them to be.
Now my favorite Style of drawing is Anime or sometimes semi-realism, and i find that by doing studies of the more traditional style realism actually helps improve my anime pictures greatly. For instance i would practice drawing my hands and feet in different positions holding different things and from different angles. I also find it extremely helpful while i'm drawing and i'm having a particularly hard time drawing a hand or a foot in a certain position i will stop for a

When you have something to rant why dont you found your own group? Its a way to get attention, no one is a professional I remember your first works and I can see your progress you are a fantastic artist but when you start flaming you will end in a black room alone with a bunch of pictures that no one cares about because the people you are flaming are the same people admire your pictures. Its the same when you are unhappy with your own live dont bash other people cause you feel down - you will just end as a troll in that case. If you dont care about people ignore them and live without them and accept that your world will become smaller because you are ignorant.....

First, I have not directly flamed anybody, I did not even mention which groups I've unwatched, I'm mad at poor group management in general which allows people to just throw screen caps, badly recolored bases and traced Mary Sues into my inbox.

Second, shut up. If you're going to say that seeing the above atrocities in your inbox makes you happy, you fucking lie.

Third, I don't have to make my own group, I WILL RANT AS MUCH AS I FUCKING WANT TO ON MY OWN PROFILE AND IN MY OWN JOURNALS AND THAT IS NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS. Plus after that nauseating vore comment on the Chubby!Paula deviation, I have little to no respect for you whatsoever, because YOU are the ignorant jerk.

When you tell one of my heroes that they'll end up in a dark room by themselves, of course I'm going to be incensed. I don't think Jamie Hewlett would like these fan artists abusing his characters either, which is why most fan groups are poor quality. I'm sitting here wondering why you even bothered coming to this journal entry. Nothing you say is a big "wake-up call".

ther is nothing meant to be to insuld Firecat - she is a great artist and I am sure a great person.
But the people submiting art to this groups are young, real young ones with the first try to draw.
DA is great because its mostly flame free. Most of this people are fans of Firecat too - insult your fans then you will end up alone (maybe it got negative in the translation). Jamie Hewlett wouldnt tell his fans buzz of, wouldn´t he? He like people being creative, the whole story is full of gabs for the fans to fill out.
It was not meant to be a negative treat but I think its not good for an artist to call people submitting art "IMMATURE PRATS AND BASES AND HORRIBLE SHIT" - that was an original quote.
It´s also not good for my kharma engine when I get a shitstorm as answer but I can stand many things, believe me I have people yelling at me worse than that face to face - but they only do once.
no need to flame - I didnt want to harm anybody just got carried away myself a little bit, my apology from this side.
other thing to Firecat - the comment about paula was satiric and I din´t thought you could take it as such negative thing - sorry

There's a difference between people learning to draw, and those who've drawn for years and are just being unimaginative; trying to produce attention through revamps. Truthfully, the comment about Paula was rude, because you never know who's going to take it the wrong way. Especially those who aren't stick skinny. SATIRIC IS A NEGATIVE. It is a sarcastic remark intended to cause harm, pointing out faults. Exact English definition. I know none of this is business of mine, but I can't help but defend someone I highly respect and admire.
