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

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

I Lost Everything

Journal Entry: Thu Jul 19, 2012, 6:40 AM

.Gallery

.Note Me!

.Friends

Greetings my dear friend's,I really don't know how to start this.I'm terribly disappointed because this year is like hell for me.If I could collected all the bad things that have happened to me through my entire life it would be less then what happened in this year so far.First I want to mention the incredible climate change's that don't allow people to function normally anymore and which also hit my country.Constant temperature which amount is 118.4F(48C)leads to madness.Despite all this we have river,which should provide comfort in this hellish days but swimming and relaxing is impossible because pollution has reached critical level so I wonder why all this happens just this year.I must admit that my energy level is too low and I feel enormous pressure because of all the events that are happening around me,too much illness,deaths and disasters and lately involves people who are close to me so it's like I'm in vicious circle whitout exit.When I thought it couldn't be worse my computer has literally exploded which is certainly not a product of my mistakes so I lost everything and all the hard work that I have achieved over the years just disappeared in one seconds.Hard drive is completely destroyed and I didn't managed to save anything

I can't believe it's all gone and now I must to do everything from beginning but I lost the will and I ask myself the same question again and again,is it worth the effort, time and nerves.I decided to take a break,forget everything and let myself to feel absolute freedom of existence.Dear friends I miss you all
and I'm very sorry because I will not be here for some time and I hope that you all stay well and healthy because nothing else is matters!!!

I love you all

Miss you!

So cute but I'm back dear,and I miss you too

*GraphicLia Aug 23, 2012

I used this message to remind me to run my back-ups. Your experience was nothing I want to repeat. I get lazy about doing this task but the thought of having to recover several months of work almost caused me to

!!!

=TiamatHeart Aug 24, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

The best solution is to buy several USB's and get rid of suffering.
Treasure up all in them and believe me you'll be safe.I was wrong
because I thought that such a thing couldn't happen to me but now
I will be very careful.Be well and have a nice day my friend!!!

*GraphicLia Aug 24, 2012

I was doing the USB thing but they are so small that I misplace them. I watched the sales for electronics and finally got a Passport sized harddrive that holds 10x data as the same priced USB. Sweet! It's big enough to find but still fits in a shirt pocket.

Seagate Barracuda LP ST32000542AS 2TB 5900 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive -Bare Drive about 160.00,I think it'll be enough for long time
because external hard drives are the best solution when you start to choke in your own data

.Stay well and take care Lia

*LeonieZurakowsky Jul 31, 2012 Digital Artist

OMG!!! How terrible! This is really one of the worst things that can happen to a digital artist! I really really hope you are able to recover as much as possible of what you've made!

I hope you don't stay away from dA for long though personally I know the need to take a break from this place - it's a very strong obsession.

I don't mean to sound trite but I hope you'll gain from this experience in the end. Recently I watched this excellent series about the views on happiness of various philosophers [link] . It helped me feel a bit better about my own crap situation!

And at the risk of seeming insensitive, are you able to get any talk therapy? Sometimes finding that perfect person to talk to is great for recovery!

Take care and I really hope you feel better soon!

=TiamatHeart Aug 23, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

That's for sure my friend,I managed to save quite a bit but how I fairly new at Mandelbulb I only regret for about 2500 my own params which I lost,that's sad.
Through them I learned all I know now.I saved every progress even the smallest steps after my everyday practice and when I began to realize that I positively advance all gone.Yes strong but positive obsession,I'm pretty happy with what I have created here for 10 months.I met a lot excellent people and artists here and most importantly I have a few great friends without whom I wouldn't be here right now,their good deeds have created beautiful memories and helped me to gather strength again, and to come back.I want to especially thank you for your efforts to help me although we didn't close so much and you didn't must do that
but yet you did it.I am eternally grateful to you for that and you can always count on me.I'm back and I feel great so be well and take care dear friend!!!

*LeonieZurakowsky Sep 16, 2012 Digital Artist

So sorry I hadn't got around to answering this message of yours. After I answered your last note, I realised I had to refresh my memory about your previous journal.

Sounds like a terrible situation you've just gone through and once again I'm glad to hear you're back!

Take care,

=Topas2012 Jul 28, 2012 Hobbyist Interface Designer

my friend, I am very sorry for you that have happened but I believe you have the potential to overcome this,
a hug from me can not solve anything but it can at least help you and you have to move on ... I believe you will overcome this
