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

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

~Update~ Feature Artists #16~

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 27, 2012, 7:51 AM

Chatter

Hello all hope everyone is doing well. Sighs~ Well I have a update on my house search. The one we were going to get fell through again. This was the house that had a ton of things wrong. We walked from it a month ago and decided to try again asking seller to fix the listed things. When he verbally agreed to do just that our lawyer sent the papers over to him to sign. While we waited for his signature we went to start our loan. As we sat down to start and I do mean literally within 5 mins of sitting down my agent called stating she heard back from seller who all of a sudden flipped his words and said he would fix some but the rest he wanted us to pay half for. I said screw this we are walking for 2nd time and there will be no 3rd!
So the search continues!

Thats all for now, have a great weekend all
much love to you
Barb

Monthly Spotlighted Deviant

This months Spotlighted Artist is a very talented artist. I have watched her for a long time as she has me. She is so gifted in her painting skills that it truly amazes me when I see her work because its always gorgeous. She does the most amazing pieces. She is one of the best artists I have seen here and if you have not had the joy of seeing her work you have truly missed out.She is a great supporter to all she watches. I am honored to have her as a deviant friend.
So without further ado my choice for The April Monthly Artist is my friend Elena a.k.a.

Be Sure to visit her gallery and show her some love.

thank you sweetie

You're very welcome dear

=PaperDreamerArt Apr 27, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

You have been going through so much sorrow with this... In the end you will be so glad when you get the best house you ever wanted!

Once the deal is verbally sealed, make sure you take pictures of everything...so that if you buy it, everything is still in place as you remember it.

Without my knowledge the previous owners of my home, changed a few of the electrical outlets to older ones. They also removed brass doorknobs and replaced them with cheaper stuff. I made the complaint to the real estate and they had everything fixed.

Good luck on your search!

=MistRaven Apr 27, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

I know sheesh its mentally exhausting Pam and for sure I will follow your advice thanks hun

=PaperDreamerArt Apr 27, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

You're welcome, Barb

But once you buy your home, you'll never have to move again!

=MistRaven Apr 27, 2012 Professional Digital Artist
