Rules

.......... The design MUST HAVE ONLY 2 COLORS; BLACK AND WHITE

.......... you may use bases, but it is STRONGLY discouraged.

.......... I will be the only judge; I will be judging on WHAT I SIMPLY LIKE BEST. so read 'likes' to see some ideas of what I would like to see in an entry!

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.

Devious Journal Entryokay, i kinda have to say something....
some rumors have been going around that im homophobic (??) and i try to hide behind people, and im full of myself and that i hate you all and i manipulate you guys??????
im mean you can say what you want but let me tell you the real true me:
Hello, I am Emma i am 19 going on 20 in a few months. I am Pansexual (if you don't know what that is here is a link to the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansexuality) I am super bad at talking to people because of my anxiety and claiming to have a disability is not my way of shutting you guys out, I'm trying i really REALLY hard at making friends and being more social and im going to start being more social with you guys from now on this popularity kinda snuck up on me and i really had nothing to say because i was so "socially retarded" is a good way to put it. I have faith in my art, i use it as a way of expressing myself and paying homage to my favorite subject: creepypasta. man do i love creepypa

Wow okay you know whatSome of you people are rude as fuck commenting on my drawings.
Just because I'm gay doesn't make me fucking special, and anyone else. OH WOW YOU WANT A GAY FRIEND BECAUSE THEY ARE AWESOME.
Stop right fucking there.
Now re-read what you fucking write on my shit before posting and think of how much of an idiot you make yourself sound and how you think I would take it.
It's for one thing, rude, you're making gay people sound like they are just there for entertainment, and you think my journal is just for fanservice.
It's a journal comic, just so people can read my life, there are things I will show and some things I won't, that's the whole fucking point.
I'm happy to reply to all comments because my watchers give the time of their day to comment on my art, and I really love that, but don't be a little prick about it and think it's all about you. This comic is about me/my friends/my family and if you think they are just fucking there for your well being, you gotta take a good fucking look

Bronies go nuts, and Nintendo Sucks?Equestria Girls
The trailer to "Equestria Girls" (the humanized MLP spinoff film) finally was released today. Aaaannnd everyone's freaking out. Again.
You know, it actually looks pretty decent. Bronies... please understand: I know you're a major unexpected demographic for the show. I know you enjoy seeing shout-out's become canon within the show, and appreciate how the creators do little things here and there for you. But... the show isn't made for you. This is not Cartoon Network and the target demographic isn't 25 year olds in college. You're a nice addition to the target demographic of little girls, but you are not the driving force behind MLP.
I don't want this to sound mean, but it needs to be said. This is where it becomes very important to understand the fine line between being a fan of the show and thinking that because you've invested so much energy into the show that you're entitled to things.
I'm sure the movie won't be as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It honest

Hey there John,

Even if you won't be reading this, I felt like I needed to comment.
I was just browsing the galleries to spend some time and came across a picture, of which I thought it could only be you, and tadaaa, here I am!

That pretty much says it all. You have left your mark on this website and community and the people contributing to it. AND not the least, you were and surely still are amazingly talented at what you do. Whether it is roaming abandoned premises, sharing with us the magnificent Canadian surroundings or fighting fires.

I'm very happy that you and your daughter are getting closer. It's obvious that you have a new passion in your life that you are devoted to. I can only cheer you on for that, as it is probably the best reason for (let's say) "losing time" on your hobby.

I hope you are well and wish you all the best. And I'm sure your camera won't be too dusty as you'll probably have loads of pictures of your daugher by now

Best regards,
Thomas

~cactusjack6996 Feb 23, 2010

you were the first "deviant" that I ever found here and i am glad to see that you are still around when time permits. Things will always get better and things will work out.

Keep you head up and follow your passions and you will be fine

~BoomerShin Feb 7, 2010

Hi, John

This is far too late for this, but... congratulations!

Be happy with your daughter!

but, please, don't stop phtography! You're a very creative one! (I found you with the "Natural Lighting 2", I guess, while looking for ideas... and I found one! XD

So, please, don't let your camera rust to much, even if you don't post'em here. But, for your daughter, at least! ^^

Good bye...

~annis13 Nov 22, 2009

Hi Skinner. I was browsing though your photo gallery. You take beautiful pictures. Very nice compositions!! Especially the lowlight snow pictures. Amazing!

I saw your photo ("Flowers on the Mountain"), where you commented that you didn't know what kind it was.

It's a "fireweed" ([link] )
It grows along train tracks, in ditches, around construction sites, and anywhere the soil has been disturbed.

(Back home in Scandinavia, it is considered a weed, as well, but it's one of my favorite flowers, and i always picked it as a child).

*Kathars1s Nov 5, 2009

Awesome to see you back and your absence is totally understood! Some things are more important, like children, than others - no matter how much we love them. Be well.

!lightstar Sep 12, 2009 Interface Designer

I will tell you this John, you are sorely missed here at DA. Hope to see you back soon my friend.

~Jazzhead Jun 22, 2009

Good to hear from you John. Take care of what you need to do and I'm sure we will hear from you in time. Take care

*islandtime Jun 12, 2009

It's great to hear that you're around John. You have been missed but it's wonderful that you have your daughter with you. I hope you can re-kindle some of your passion for photography as you're a great artist but you will always have your gift and if the time isn't now then it will come later.

*AlexandraSteele Jun 7, 2009

WB John. It's good to see something from you and yes, words are no less important than art when you find a connection amounst others on DV.
Kudos on your current position. I understand first hand... being a single mother to two sons for a time. I imagine you will continue your art when you feel you have the luxury of time, or perhaps this might be something you can share with your lil one?!** Either way, great to see a sign of life on your end. All the best no matter which way the wind blows for you and yours. When you can, say hello. Georgeana

`Paula-Rosa Jun 4, 2009 General Artist

It's wonderful to hear from you, dear friend.
You and your art have been missed but I understand your reasons very well, John.
I wish you a wonderful time with your daughter.

Big big hug from Lisbon.
