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

Nintendo STEALS Money!Since this has been going around lately, I should probably give my two cents. Basically what it amounts to is that Nintendo has filed Content ID info of their games with YouTube. What this means is that if you upload gameplay video of a Nintendo game, YouTube will automatically monetize that video, put ads on it, a link to where to buy the game, and take the money generated from that video and give it directly to Nintendo. People who do "let's play" videos are, naturally, pissed off because they want to be earning money off their videos, so they're calling Nintendo "thieves" for doing this.
I can see both sides to the story. I can see Nintendo as a corporation wanting to exercise control over their properties. On the other hand, "let's play" videos can often help new gamers find games they otherwise wouldn't have tried.
But here's the thing: Nintendo isn't the first company do this. Both Microsoft and Ubisoft do it already. YouTube has also had a long history of having music videos and

I'm sorry

Journals / Personal

couldnt finish the last few commissions from my last batch. so i am working on giving them back their money. its been forever since i've been on here. let me tell you guys what happened.

my grandpa became very ill for a while after he fell down. we took my grandmother (who is 83 years old) in and took care of her while he was in the hospital. we had hope that he would get out soon. but he got an amune system infection and just kept getting worse. he passed away on a tuesday, march 5 2012 at the age of 82. (love you poppy r.i.p.) i had a really hard time dealing with it at first since it was my first time dealing with something like this. then on top of that my boyfriend of 3 years broke up with me..like RIGHT after that happened. my first love....sooo yeah. i was very depressed for a very long time and was having panic attacks several times a day. but i finally feel a little bit better. i had to use all my money to help my parents pay for all the stuff that goes into taking care of my grandmother who is now living with us. she has the mindset of a baby. shes pretty funny...like when she tries to feed people who are in the newpaper cereal. but then again sometimes she doesnt even recognize us. (which hurts esprcially when she tells us not to touch her or be near her..its all part of her disease.) so its really stressful and busy at the same time. i was just scared that the people i never drew their things for would think i'm a big scam. (which i guess i am to those listed below) but here i am telling the truth and coming clean wanting to make up for it.. and i hope that you will all forgive me. i will pay you all back. i know i had to pay:

thats all the people i can remember.. and i'm pretty sure those are all the people i had left? o_o; please i hope you all understand. i'm so sorry for this horrible inconvenience. when i start posting things on here again, i will draw you all something for free. i just needed to tell everyone that. i was tired of hiding. kinda. i'm sorryyyyyyy...agh. i'm sad now.

i dont want you all to think i'm a bad person..thats all.

I'm very late... but I'm so sorry that happened... I really don't have any idea what you're going through, but I'll do my best to help you

~Kowiubi May 4, 2012

now I feel stupid for being so impatient... do your best tesa.
I guess I can say that we all love you and we're glad you're back

~mkj120 Apr 27, 2012 Student Artist

I'm so sorry, I understand the stress life can bring. You don't need to apologize...

And you are most definitely not a bad person.

~Kazbob Apr 27, 2012

Aww

I hope you feeling ok

~Yetac Apr 26, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

We're all here for you when you need an internet hug. Take care sweet, and keep moving forward.

~AnimeLuvver Apr 26, 2012 Student General Artist

It's okay. Life get's in the way, but, everything that happens is to make us stronger, even if we ask ourselves,"Why?"

I had to deal with my grandma living with us, since she's sick too, but not mentally (though she is damn outright stubborn) and she wasn't cooperating at all. It was stressful, and we still have to deal with all the family problems, but, we're getting through as well as I hope you will too.

I'm sure your commissioners will understand. I mean I'd gladly wait a thousand years for art like yours!

Hope you feel better and panic attacks are no fun boo.. (had one on monday!) and hope your life gets brighter and brighter each day!!

~Nintala Apr 26, 2012 Student Digital Artist

I hope things will get better soon, I know they will

I know how it feels to have an important death like that, my mother died in the last week.
I'm glad to see you're back and feeling better. But no one should blame you or thing you're a bad person, you had things come up in life it's not your fault at all.

~MegaSquishy Apr 26, 2012

You're not a bad person. We understand you're going through a lot :c
I hope you feel better soon <3

=rioIu Apr 26, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Why would we think of you as a bad person? We've barely conversed before but I can tell you are a kind, or at least nice person. No one can blame you for your boyfriend breaking up with you when you need support, nor the death of a dear family member. Anyone who doesn't understand should think about shoving their feet in your shoes and being asked, "How would you be able to get any free time when all of this stressful stuff is happening?" I'm sure those consumers and the other ones will understand your situation and won't be mad at you. :) Like I said, given they're understanding people, they'd know nothing about it is your fault.
Again, we've barely conversed before but if you need someone, I'm all ears. Feel better, and things will get better!

~KattPrime Apr 26, 2012

Im so sorry I hope everything wrks out 4 da best
