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

Nintendo STEALS Money!Since this has been going around lately, I should probably give my two cents. Basically what it amounts to is that Nintendo has filed Content ID info of their games with YouTube. What this means is that if you upload gameplay video of a Nintendo game, YouTube will automatically monetize that video, put ads on it, a link to where to buy the game, and take the money generated from that video and give it directly to Nintendo. People who do "let's play" videos are, naturally, pissed off because they want to be earning money off their videos, so they're calling Nintendo "thieves" for doing this.
I can see both sides to the story. I can see Nintendo as a corporation wanting to exercise control over their properties. On the other hand, "let's play" videos can often help new gamers find games they otherwise wouldn't have tried.
But here's the thing: Nintendo isn't the first company do this. Both Microsoft and Ubisoft do it already. YouTube has also had a long history of having music videos and

Journal Entry: Wed Jan 30, 2008, 2:21 AM

Mood: Mesmerized
Listening to: Blood of Cu Chulainn - Boondock Saints (hah)
Reading: "Twilight Series" by Stephanie Meyer
Watching: ...news updates... >.>
Playing: #iRPG
Drinking: Chrysanthemum Tea. It's awesome.

Twilight

_{^{<< Facebook Graffiti...}}

What can I say? I'm addicted.

  The main character annoys me every now and again, and it gets a bit sappy at times... but I love it anyway.  The entire series.

Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer.  Go read it.

I'm not a fan of spoilers, so I wont say anything more.  They're making it into a movie as well.  I'm looking forward to seeing that.

New Moon

It's almost Chinese New Year. February 7th, 2008 will bring in the new Year of the Rat. I'm hoping to see some awesome Chinese New Year-inspired artwork in my Inbox!

Eclipse

For lack of something more to write, here's some cool artwork!  Go through it, enjoy it, and all that jazz.  There's some fun stuff to see!

_{by ~EricClaeys
  I love this piece.  Dunno what it is about it.  Perhaps it's everything.

  The FIRST Powerpuff Girls drawing!  Be sure to check out Craig McCracken's page [*CMcC], if you haven't done so already!  He also does the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends series.

by ~peterconcept
  This person's gallery is awesome.  Gorgeous landscapes.  I intend on suggesting his stuff to ~DailyDeviants in the near future...  unless one of you saves me the effort... *cough*

  These were done by ~livingrope, who I also intend to suggest to ~DailyDeviants, and eventually to a Gallery Director as well.  He does artwork for books, magazines, and the card game "Magic: The Gathering."  His gallery is quite a treat, and he's fairly new to deviantART (joined on New Year's Eve!).  He has under 1,500 Pageviews, at the moment;  help me fix this.}

(*cough*..

...can we pretend this section was a Note entitled DD Suggestion...? For DailyDeviants or otherwise?

Lol. It'd be so much easier...)

_{^{Edit, 30 Jan 2008: Nevermind. I ended up sending the suggestions afterall.}}

Breaking Dawn

It was a friend's birthday last night, and I wish I could remember the latter part of the evening a little better.

I still had stuff to work on last night, too. All I intended was to wander over for a minute, get the birthday boy a drink or two, then return.

Hah. That worked out well.

Fun times, though. On a Monday. And I got up early to finish the work I needed to get done, so whoo hoo for that.

Midnight Sun

Why does it seem like I never get any sleep around here?

/me checks journal entry timestamp...

...Oh yeah. Because I don't.

ah yup, a friend of mine recently got really into this series ^_^ havent read ne myself tho

~shadowed-light-waves Feb 3, 2008 General Artist

Careful...

... they tend to be addicting...

There are only three books in the series at the moment, and the fourth one is coming out this Fall...

They're making the first book into a movie, and begin filming toward the end of this month... Don't ask me how I know all of this.

~Aoringo Jan 30, 2008 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Twilight... Town...?

~shadowed-light-waves Jan 30, 2008 General Artist

Lol, not quite.

Equally addicting though.

~Aoringo Jan 30, 2008 Hobbyist Digital Artist

You mean there's fighting weird monster things with a cool sword and trying to figure out why you're having crazy dreams?

~shadowed-light-waves Jan 30, 2008 General Artist

Umm... no cool swords... but medieval vampires make up for that, right?

~Aoringo Jan 30, 2008 Hobbyist Digital Artist

not really...

~spyrolivia Jan 30, 2008 Hobbyist Photographer

omgsh, I'M ADDICTED TO FACEBOOK GRAFFITI!!!!

~shadowed-light-waves Jan 30, 2008 General Artist

I love Twilight series!
Breaking Dawn is just the other name for Midnight Sun.

"Before you, my life was a moonless night, very dark. But there were stars, points of light and reason, but then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly, everything was on fire, there was brilliance; there was beauty. But when you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."
-Edward Cullen, New Moon
