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.

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

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.

Feature: 6 Cool Artists

Journal Entry: Fri Jul 11, 2008, 11:04 PM

I've been wanting to feature some artists for a while, but I always put it off for one reason or another. Now that I've finally spruced up my journal css a bit, I figure it's as good a time as any. Especially considering a couple of my own pics were featured recently, and it felt so nice to have that happen.

Thought I'd share the love a bit and showcase some sci-fi/fantasy artists whose works I've really enjoyed. These are all artists with 50k pageviews or less (in some cases, a lot less, unfortunately!). So if you're bored and want some pretty arts to look at, please feel free to wander over to their galleries and take a look. ^_^

Thank you for looking! ^_^

So like I'm at this street fair for 3 days and I come back and BOOM faaaves everywhere. Thanks Haku! A fabulous end to a very very very stressful few days

`hakubaikou Jul 13, 2008

^_^

You're very welcome!

How was the street fair, btw? Are you going to post a journal entry on it?

`cmalidore Jul 13, 2008 Professional General Artist

It was brutal to be honest, I did it with a friend and I think the contrast between us - while fun, was a bit limiting toward the general public understanding what we're all about. Plus they aren't natural art fans at a street fair and that's hard to play with after conventions where it's all very specialized - like comics, or anime.

That aside, I did make a good connection that can seriously pay off in the long run.

But print sales wise - it took me 2 days (13 hour days, omg) to achieve 1 day worth of sales that I'd have gotten at ECCC so there is a difference for sure. More big prints went this time too, so obviously sales were further apart to hit even that number. Lot of down time.

`hakubaikou Jul 15, 2008

Hmm, yeah, I suppose sales would be rougher when the people walking by aren't specifically looking for artwrok. Was the weather okay? I crewed on a 1-day shoot this weekend, and the sun was just beating relentless down on us. Ugh!

Ooh, congrats on the connection.
