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

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

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.

San Diego Comic Con

Journal Entry: Mon Jul 28, 2008, 11:49 PM

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on DA much in the past week.  I was at Comic Con with my sister ~HelloCaity and my friend *dlin.  And holy hell, was it fun.  ^_^

I'm not really going to go into crazy detail about the con, but I had a great time wandering the dealer's room and attending the various panels.  I got a book autographed by one of my favorite authors, Jacqueline Carey.  My sister got an autograph from Steve Purcell, the creator of Sam and Max (if any of you are familiar with that).  My favorite panel was the one with Kevin Smith, Judd Apatow, Zach Snyder, and Frank Miller.  (It was raunchy and fun.)  I ate a lot.  Slept like the dead each night.  Saw a bunch of cool costumes.  Spotted Samuel Jackson for about 5 seconds as he walked past us among some secret entourage which quickly swooped him into an off-limits room.  Bought some nice art books.  Got tons of free stuff.  Snapped a photo of Nathan Fillion as he was signing posters (although I didn't get into line for that.  It was far too crowded.)  And by pure chance, as we were leaving the con for good, I saw Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis standing nearby among the crowd, trying (surprisingly successfully) to blend in.

Man, Comic Con is wonderful.  I went for the first time with *dlin in 2006, and I plan to go every year from now on if I can.  Not only is it fun and entertaining, it's often pretty inspiring as well.  Can't wait until next year.

The only downside is that my DA message center is a mess right now. And more importantly, I have a ton of work to catch up on. No time for personal art at the moment, and that's really frustrating, since I'm so in the mood for it!

Oh, I missed some really awesome panels, apparently. There were so many, it was impossible to go to them all. Did any of you go, by any chance? How was it for you?

Edit: 29.Jul.2008
Ugh, hurt my wrist during the stupid earthquake this morning. (Just twisted it while grabbing onto a railing to steady myself. Stoopid.) But it hurts to type, so I probably won't get to my messages tonight. Blah.

*lavonia Aug 11, 2008 Traditional Artist

I'm glad the con went well for you guys.

`hakubaikou Aug 11, 2008

Yes, it was lovely! ^_^ I hope to go every year if possible.

*lavonia Aug 12, 2008 Traditional Artist

Yeah, I'm going to try and do one of the big cons next year but I'm not sure which, I was thinking either San Diego or Chicago. Either way I'll have to fly in.

`hakubaikou Aug 12, 2008

Never been to any cons in Chicago, but San Diego's lovely. You do have to buy tickets and get a hotel early though. There were no tickets sold at con this year since they'd already sold enough to fill the building to capacity. o.O

*lavonia Aug 14, 2008 Traditional Artist

Wow. O.o Yeah seems like the one in San Diego is the one I hear about most.

If I can't get a spot next year, I may wait one more year to go. I'm definitely planning on making rounds one year though.

`hakubaikou Aug 14, 2008

If you ever do go, send me a note if you want to meet, yeah? ^_^

*lavonia Aug 17, 2008 Traditional Artist

I sure will.

=AngelsArcher Jul 30, 2008 General Artist

Well at least you had fun^^ Sounded like a really great con... and ouch, hope your wrist gets better. Really unfortunate timing with all the work to do...

`hakubaikou Aug 12, 2008

I did, yup! ^_^

Oh, fortunately it was my left wrist (I'm right-handed), so it only affected my typing, not drawing. But it's fine now, thanks!

=AngelsArcher Aug 12, 2008 General Artist

Ah ok, good to hear it's fine now
