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
(the song is Tenkuu no Canaria, from ToS *w*b)

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

4000

Journal Entry: Sun Dec 16, 2007, 4:47 PM

Yay finally reached 4000 page views.

At the moment it says 4003. If someone can prove they got 4000 then I might give them a present... if they can definitely prove it beyond a doubt.

Another new feature!

===================

EDIT: So does no one else want to be featured? Come on I have quite a few watchers and it's free

===================

Taken from

This is an idea I nicked from Iscribe; basically I will browse the galleries of the first fifteen people who want me to and select my favourite three deviantions from their gallery, giving reasons why they're my favourites It would be much appreciated if anyone who wants me to peruse their gallery would copy this into their own journal but it's not essential.

I can't promise to get this done quickly as this could be a fairly busy week for me. I had an interview with James Irlam Logistics yesterday and they haven't got back to me yet. Plus I've got an interview with Stoke-on-Trent college for an apprenticeship on Thursday and then there's work and computer class and well, you get the idea...

Anyway, since I took this from Iscribe, I'll sort out her stuff first and I'll look forward to going through everyones' artworks. Please say if you want to be featured on here.

So who's up for it?

redruM-110 is a writer from Stoke-on-Trent who has the insane ambition to write something for every literature category in existence. Good luck with that

Horror Fiction/General Fiction
First of his stories I read and still my favourite. Excellent imagery and I like the main character.

The Feast Fiction/Horror
An excellent take on a modern fairy tale. Very grim but a good read.

Circus Mirrors Poetry/Fixed
The unusual distinction of being a poem I can relate to.

mygreymatter is a photographer from America. She has a huge collection of photos many of which are very good

Conjurer Photography/Horror&Macabre
I really like this picture for some reason. The lighting is excellent. Good choice of scenery.

Contemplation Photography/Emotive Portraits
I'm a sucker for lighting when it comes to pictures and I really love the lighting in this one too.

No Children Here Photography/Horror&Macabre
This is beautifully eerie. The choice of taking the picture in monochrome was perfect.

Yoshi86 is an artist from Germany who keeps getting threatened by me to upload more stuff to his gallery

. His gallery isn't the biggest but it's really good.
Halbelfe Traditional/Drawings/Fantasy
I really like this pic. I think it's just really well done.
Yoshi86 sketches_Sidney Traditional/Drawings/Fantasy
This is my favourite of Yoshi's. Sidney looks awesome although that little girl is really really small

.
Rest My Love Traditional/Drawings/Fantasy
I really like this pic. Feel really sorry for the girl in it

. Very nice line art too.

xXthecloudsareniceXx is an illustrator from the US. Not watched her for very long but her artwork is great.

Ohhh Dr.Dyyylllaaannn... Traditional/Drawings/Miscellaneous
I just really like this pic. The girl looks so cute in the white coat. (Can't believe I'm calling something cute...)
At the Gates Traditional/Drawings/People
I love the character style in almost all of her drawings. This is a great example and one of the few that doesn't have something around their neck.

Silence W.I.P Traditional/Drawings/Miscellaneous
Got to include Silence. Especially this super cutesy version of him.

Sybanee is five thousand years old and it's obviously taken its toll on her sanity (Joking

). She's a great artist though.

The Labyrinth Fan Art/MangaAnime/Traditional/Movies&TV
Got to love Labyrinth. After all I made a Goblin King card myself ^^.
Halloween Fan Art/MangaAnime/Traditional/Miscellaneous
I really like the character in this. Although don't understand why it's Fan Art.

Heading for Heaven Fan Art/MangaAnime/Traditional/Miscellaneous
This is my favourite one of her's. I just really like it for some reason. Not sure exactly why.

elvi-92 is a very talented artist from Bulgaria with a great style especially with colouring hair. I definitely recommend you check out her gallery.
a walk in the forest_by elvi MangaAnime/Traditional Media/Drawings
This is a beautiful piece. I love the roses on the pillar and the character herself is excellent.
..:Good luck from Elvi:.. MangaAnime/Traditional Media/Drawings
Probably the best in her gallery. The shading and the colours are excellent.

..:Halloween comic-A vampire:. Fan Art/MangaAnime/Digital/Books/Novels
The English is a bit off but it's amazing for the first attempt at using photoshop

An excellent piece and pretty funny too.

The Build is the Chuck Norris of the Channel Islands and sculpts amazing models. He also does quite a bit of writing as well and lives on coffee. His talent for sculpting is immense.
Nakai Traditional Art/Sculpture/Fantasy
Got to include this model. It has a legion of fanboys if you know where to look

and it deserves it to be honest. It's a stunning model.
Kroak -update- Traditional Art/Sculpture/Fantasy
This is an awesome model. Looks just like the old picture.

Annointed -update- Traditional Art/Sculpture/Fantasy
Despite me making fun of it for having too much clothing (Standard Slaanesh joke

) it's an awesome model and in all honesty it's nice to see a female Slaanesh model that doesn't have it all hanging out.

jamesanzai is an artist from America who just started watching me so I don't know much about him to be honest.

thank you Mark Criley sensei Cartoons&Comics/TraditionalMedia/Cartoons/Drawings
Definitely the best in his gallery. It's a pretty nice pic.

i'm not sure FanArt/Manga&Anime/Traditional/Books&Novels
No idea who it's meant to be but it's pretty good.
random drawing on paint Cartoons&Comics/DigitalMedia/Cartoons/Drawings
Wish I could draw this good in paint... Wish I could draw this good in photoshop with my graphics tablet.

Lemuraloo is yet another female artist from America (Sorry I just seem to know a silly amount of them ^^). We only just started watching each other so don't know much else about her...
Bells Manga&Anime/TraditionalMedia/Drawings
This is really good. Background may be a bit lazy but the character is excellent.

Fishing Boy Manga&Anime/TraditionalMedia/Drawings
I really like this and the background is really nice as well as the character himself.
:Sarki: In the Ruins Manga&Anime/DigitalMedia/Drawings
This is an awesome piece of CG. I'm really impressed and the lines are great too.
