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?)
Draw a
800 Points GiveawayHello all. As I've mentioned in the poll, I am going to make a small giveaway on the occasion of nearly 1000 watchers! Wooo!
There are 8 winners and 100 points for each to win. BUT the giveaway ends when the number of watchers reaches 1000.
RULES:
:bulletred: To enter, fave this journal and comment below that you've faved it. Then I will give you a number.
:bulletred: You don't need to watch me to enter. But please keep in mind that the giveaway ends sooner when
there are more watchers.
:bulletred: Your account must be at least 2 months old.
:bulletred: You can enter once only. No alternate/plz accounts.
I will choose winners with random.org.
♣ Good luck! ♣
Minor update: changed from 1111 to 1000 watchers.
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. :D

Devious Journal Entry

:iconwandereringsoul:

Now retired ( managed to do it early ) Always had a fascination with photography -  don't know why. Had my own studio ( a few years ago ) used to do portrait and wedding photography and some glamour when I had the time.Lived in the south of England most of my life but moved to the bleak cold wilderness of the north of England a couple of years ago.I say the bleak cold wilderness as it is the impression everyone in the south has of the north of England.Obviously they have never visited it but it is wonderful for hills mountains and lakes.Never really grew up still love steam trains and oh how I miss them and the peace and tranquillity of my younger days.

Haha, would love to visit all those places you shoot someday.

Sometimes, it's quite nice to just slow down and really look at the world around you.

I prefer the North of England by far! The scenery, and often the atmospherics and lighting that goes with it just can't be beaten IMO.

I have spent ages in your gallery and love what you have shared with us. Fabulous photography!
