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

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.

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.

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

_{Winners Decided! Thank you for everyone's participation!

Please note that the winners are chosen at random! I used a number generator to pick each winner. I did however look through just about every link sent to me, and if I have time in the further, perhaps I can revisit these comments! (I hope!)

The winners are as follows:

The full colour thigh up winner is *migbox's Olivia! ([link]
Pixel work winner goes to !pommuMoved2mintyMuk's Camomille! ([link]
The colour bust goes to ~BlueBerryMonsta's Teeth! ([link]
Artist's Choice Winner:
~KeinZantezuken's request for Princess Celestia
(This is a little extra prize I chose to give out to ~KeinZantezuken for very consistently requesting Princess Celestia! You can never have too many ponies! )

_{Hello again! As promised, I'm making new commission samples. I thought it would be fun to do a give away! Please follow the instructions below to enter in the give away!

Rules:
Anyone is eligible to enter, you do not have to be a watcher!
Please be kind and courteous to me, as well as other deviants who leave comments.

You may have up to three comments, but each comment must have a different character in the link. It must be a visual reference.
You may choose your own characters, your friend's characters, characters of other's you admire, characters from games/movies/shows, or any other character that has a visual reference.
Characters can be human, anthro, animals, monsters, or anything else under the sun.
You do not get to choose what type of artwork you receive.

What artwork are you giving away?:
One Full Colour Chibi

Oh my god... /dies I can't believe I won!! /;v;/ And in my favorite style of yours too!! ;O; urgh urgh

Also please do ask me for another OC if you end up not wanting to draw Olivia (people tend to get intimidated by her hair..which I understand! I am too LOL).
