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?)

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.

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

Gyaaaaooouugghh!!!

Mon May 31, 2010, 7:06 PM

...is the sound a zombie makes. Because apparently I'm dead. But seriously. I'm not.

Oh, gosh, where to begin. Sorry for my extended absences. I've been quite busy lately. Things have totally changed from the past couple journal entries. To sum up:

My parents decided the project with the Morgan Freeman guy was too suspicious. No commission for me.

I got laid off from my job. Apparently we weren't getting enough business. Who knew? *hits head on table and mumbles something about not having money for certain people's birthday gifts*

Four-day week. Then four final exams, all of which I am exempt from, then summer. Whoo.

I handmade a wallet at Discovery Place! (While some of us opted to make a shoe instead.) If enough people are interested in seeing it, I'll upload a picture, but my camera is currently busted. FML.

My ~~manwhore's~~ ~~fighter pilot's~~ boyfriend's sister managed to land the three of us an audition at a local private school for their production of Sweeney Todd! And furthermore, I WAS ACCEPTED INTO OUR SCHOOL'S THESPIAN SOCIETY! I've never been so happy to say that I am proudly a thesbo. :'D

I have recently developed a significant love for The All-American Rejects.

I PROMISE I've been practicing my drawing some. Lately I've been working with a lot of traditional mediums. Not good. Digital skills are required for my intended college.
Audience Member: Dammit, Corrie, get back to work! *throws a kitten*

If you're here on account of TheClassyPeanuts wondering when in the free world we're going to upload a new video, we're still working on the script. It's tough to get us all together at once, and even tougher to make us focus. We all have lives and we're a silly bunch, really.

Moral of the story: PLEASE STOP SPAMMING AND TROLLING MY PAGE. AND BMNC's, AND LVE's, AND FB's PAGES. WE ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF MESSAGES WE GO THROUGH EACH DAY, COMMENTING OVER AND OVER ISN'T GOING TO MAKE US GO FASTER. 'Kay? ಠ_ಠ 'Kay! ^~^

Hmm, yes. That's about it. I still have homework, and I'll really try to check all OVER TWO THOUSAAAAAND messages. That "Delete All" button is really tempting, but I will manage.

Tally ho, my dearest watchers,
*Waterbendy

"if you see my face hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell..." sorry i was listening to the song earlier

*Waterbendy Jun 1, 2010 Student Digital Artist

I like that song.

But I like their older albums better.

~melodicpixels Jun 1, 2010 Student Filmographer

Woop, sounds busy.

ewww, getting laid off isn't fun...

*Waterbendy Jun 1, 2010 Student Digital Artist

I know! I've never been this busy! o:

Yes. I know. Especially when you really, REALLY needed the money. :[

~bloomacnchez May 31, 2010 Student General Artist

*@ your first part*
Aw, I'm sorry about the tough spots. But yay for becoming a thesbo 'n all!!

*@ your Moral of The Story*
THANK YOU. That is EXACTLY what I feel. I have people posting the same f*cking messages on, like, everything. D:

*Waterbendy May 31, 2010 Student Digital Artist

Thankies! When are we getting back together for our next sleepover, yo?

And YES. I know. >8I

~Baylor-The-Pikachu May 31, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

BRAAAAAAAIIIIINNNNNNSSSSS!!!!

Sorry you got laid off. And that you didn't get to do that job with the Morgan Freeman doppelganger. But at least you had some ups to your while away! And at least you got exempted from your final exams! Talk about lucky. Just keep working and you'll do fine on your art! Excessive exclamation marks FTW!
