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

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

A wee bit on edge..

Sat Jan 28, 2006, 7:50 PM

Hi everybody ... I'm a wee bit on edge tonight. One of my new year resolutions was to get healthy of body.. well today I went on the nic-patch to try quitting the ol' cancer sticks. I've been a pack-a-day for 23 years now, having only quit twice.. once about 7 years ago for six months ...and once 2 years ago for another six months.. I'm hoping they'll be gone for good this time.. I was starting to cough alot and feel shitty in the mornings.. so for the sake of seeing my daughter grow to adulthood, I'm going to quit the damn things once and for all..

It was almost comedic this morning with every little thing irritating me.. just before sunrise, I was climbing a cliff using a rope someone had left behind ...my camera was dangling around my neck..i forgot to tuck it into my jacket..it swung back and forth until it hit the rock ledge... well there I was ..hanging onto a rope and cursing loud enough to crack the ice on the lake

..The camera is fine...just a scratch.. but the way I lost my mind, you'd have thought I smashed it to bits! ...after that the clouds rolled over just as the sun was coming up, completely ruining a great sunrise.. well I snapped! ...shaking my fist at the sky and kicking my tripod over..

oh man I need a smoke...

Rehearsals continue for the murder mystery dinner theatre I'm acting in ..that'll be toward the end of February.. I play a lunatic escapee with a short temper...haha .. if I don't start smoking again, I'll be a natural!

I thinned my gallery out the other day.. as some of you know I've been rather ...ahem.. prolific.. with my photography.. yup.. I crank'em out almost daily, but hey!..I take alot of photos in the winter..what can I say?

...anyway.. I put a whole lot of photos into my scraps.. I think I'll try to keep the ol' gallery down to 10 pages

Oh hey! ..check this guys gallery out : ~Hartmut-Lerch ...completely blew me away.. he deserves mucho attention!

And also ...for a blast from the dA past ..you gotta see this.. Deviantart March 2001 - 11473 deviations

Be well my friends ...luv y'all!!

John, I gave up 8 years ago, nine this August and it's hard man but if you really want to do it you will and the anger will fade. It's only there because you're making an effort to think about cigarettes. Try making the effort not to, that's a lot more positive and works better.
Just a point, people who just quit and do cold turkey are far less likely to start smoking than those that use patches.

*wb-skinner Jan 31, 2006

its a rocky road right now.. actually my fitness test is coming up and I want to be able to do the run without puking a lung.. so thats what is keeping me going right now.. thanks for the encouragement Bernie.. they say its easier to quit heroin than fags .. I believe it!

*horai Feb 1, 2006

I can believe it too, best of luck with it man.

*magpie-poet Jan 31, 2006

next time you get in that situation you need to have someone there to get a photo of you in situ!

*wb-skinner Jan 31, 2006

lol.. I work alone .. and its probably better that way

*magpie-poet Jan 31, 2006

okay, so set an extra camera on a timer

~xtreamegfx Jan 31, 2006 Photographer

Hey john, hows the quiting going??

I was reading a fasinating artical about reasons why to quit smoking the other day and it was amazing the positive effects that quiting smokin can have.

Within just hours of quiting ur body is already cleaning out the toxins of the cigs u have been smokin, and this in turn starts to reduce the risks of cancers and heart attacks and the like, after about 2 months i think it said the risk of heart attack is nearly halfed.

just thought id give you the positive info you need to keep them thoughts of a longer relationship with your daughter

*wb-skinner Jan 31, 2006

hey Adam ..its going alright.. I've cheated a couple times, but I'm almost there.. thanks for the words of encouragement my friend!

~xtreamegfx Jan 31, 2006 Photographer

well it is very very difficult to go cold turkey with such a strong addiction but uve had ur strikes now so u best not cheat again! lol

~wytrvn Jan 30, 2006 Professional Photographer

Good luck with the no smoking! I'm still hooked, but I admire anyone trying to kick the habit, though kicking the tripod seems counter productive
