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?)

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

point commissions + summer vacation!

Journal Entry: Sat Jun 4, 2011, 7:46 PM

_{tumblr | rescreatu | nabyn}

_{point commissions are open! note me~
I'm make a proper journal with prices and everything eventually, but for now you can just note me and ask lol

In other news, summer vacation started for me on thursday (meaning I'm going to upload crappy doodles from throughout the year ;D). Nothing's happening for me this summer, except I'm getting my braces. I want to get out more, and hopefully not get a horrible tan haha. Or at least not get any worse xD
I went to the San antonio zoo yesterday and took manymany pictures lol. I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY HAD NO PEACOCKS. OR RED PANDAS. I friggin' love peacocks, and they didn't have any ;n;
plus, we were walking around in 90 degree weather, so most of the animals were trying to stay cool and weren't doing anything haha. I was still amazed by everything, though. My family says it was like we'd never been to the zoo before xD I may upload some pictures. We'll see.
my only plans for the next week are to go to the movies and see Kung fu panda 2...meaning i need to find events in my town or something because i am bored to death and sitting on the computer will just kill my eyes...even more :C
hm so is anyone doing anything interesting this summer? or are you still in school and waiting to get out haha?}

~Kerixai Jun 6, 2011

Ahhh your journal CSS is so adorable<3333 good luck with your point commissions! : D I myself have given up on trying to earn points, at least until I have more time >.> but wth you have summer vacation already??

I still have to rot in school for OVER A MONTH /dies of envy
well, you probably have other holidays that are shorter xD but ah I really want to rest...
90 degrees sounds pretty terrible. I really hate it when the animals do that; I went to see pandas when I went to China and they were all hiding indoors fast asleep, looking really fat xD no red pandas is a real disgrace T.T red pandas are too amazing not to have in any zoo! :shakefish:

You're going to see Kung fu panda 2? I want to see it, please tell me if it's good or not! I haven't seen a proper trailer for it yet so I don't really know what it's actually supposed to be about >.> but I really loved the first one

=Kuitsumi Jun 6, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

aww thanks! lol yes, i've gotten out of school. my mom makes it hard to sleep in though haha. OVER A MONTH? so long! that's practically half of my summer xD
and yes, it was so hot out ;n;
the animals were either trying to stay cool or were having their habitats cleaned, so i didn't see much from the animals who weren't indoors or underwater haha
it was a wonderful movie! full of action and hilarious. plus the animations during the credits were so adorable haha! my friend liked the first one more, but I prefer this one

~Kerixai Jun 6, 2011

ah, my parents never let me sleep in past 9:00 xD yeah, I know! ._. is it because you go back to school in August?
ah I like hot weather once in a while but not that hot =m=
underwater animals are cool at least :3 I always love watching the otters and seals and penguins x3
really? even better than the first one?

I'm so glad, there are too many movie sequels that aren't half as good as the original.

=Kuitsumi Jun 7, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

9?! my mom lets me sleep until 10:30, but it's still not late enough haha xD
penguins are the best

they're so cuddly looking and they walk funny <3

~Kerixai Jun 7, 2011

Ah it can never be late enough... I begin the summer holidays waking up at 7:00 and slowly it gets later and later until September and then I have to wake up early again ;_;

=Kuitsumi Jun 8, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

haha same here!

~tsukia-KARI Jun 5, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I'm moving this summer so that'll probably take up a lot of my time D; I'll try to do something productive though.
YESSS YOU SHOULD UPLOAD DEM PHOTOS
I used to see a lot of peacocks at my old house |3

=Kuitsumi Jun 5, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

haha try not to lose anything during your move x3
you're moving to the U.S. right? o:
lol lucky. I love peacocks. they're so colorful and peacock-y xD

~tsukia-KARI Jun 6, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist
