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

acen left overs, colors shipping

Journals / Personal

Hey guys! Thanks so much for stopping by and saying hi and such at ACen!! <3<3 It's fun to see people. I had a decent time, and I broke even so I'll be attending Otakon in July/August! I'm throwing up a small leftover sale on things I won't be making more of and small things (earrings, pins, small prints), you can check them out HERE!

But yeah, it was fun. Uneventful (I didn't do anything but AA) but fun, since I saw lots of great people. MOST SOCIAL INTERACTION I EVER GET EVERY YEAR! /fail

The COLORS artbooks have arrived, so I'll be working on shipping those these next two weeks. It'll take some time since I'm doing it by myself, so please be patient.

Also, I have a question that's been plaguing my mind... I don't get a lot of social interaction so I know I'm socially inept, but do I come off as intimidating online? Or something? I feel like people are scared to comment or something, or that I'm rubbing people the wrong way and maybe being taken too seriously? Im sorry! I've been told it's my typing (not using faces, etc), and I guess I'd rather it be that than people just ignoring me/not caring? fhdhf im insecure OTZ.

Back to resting, I'm very tired.

~fresh4u May 17, 2010

aww, thank you!
Ive been told I come off as intimidating online, but I don't understand why. I've been told it's because I type relatively proper (without faces), but I don't want people to think I'm unfriendly just because I might sound serious? I dont know.

but thanks so much about referrals!

*InknPaper May 17, 2010

Thanks again for coming by our table, we were so happy! Also I've been showing off your keychains to my friends (they were so jealous) and they love them to bits.

I think you were super friendly, it was so nice talking with you and licchan (I always feel like I come off as a super dork to people, sorry!)

People were shy at my table, I'm sure me shouting "HI" doesn't help at all -___-; But yeah, thanks again for everything!

~fresh4u May 17, 2010

bawwawww thank youu! <3<3 I love all the stuff you guys gave me~~

haha you weren't a dork! I thought you were sweet. I think being outgoing helps sales, so if you shout HI at people it's ok! Thank you too!!

*InknPaper May 17, 2010

Yeah, it didn't really help sales but at least people talked to me more about pokemon, so that was fun. Friday was especially slow.

Also I was very sorry to hear about the missing pairs of earrings, I had a few cell phone charms taken, but it didn't bother me that much, I guess people are like that, which is a shame because artists work on that stuff.

And when it comes to typing, people have told me they thought I was a guy multiple times on here, and even more so when I pop in on livestreams. It's hard to gauge how people interpret you online. haha

~fresh4u May 17, 2010

yyeahh. I guess there was a klepto going around the convention, some person came by and warned me about it on Saturday, but I forgot later on and didn't think anything of it (and come to think of it I remember looking and going hmm, I don't remember there being that one missing.. oh well!). I'm not too upset by it. Whoever took them better WEAR THEM, thats all.

HAhahaudfh yeaaaah. For years people thought I was a guy, and new people consistently still do (I think it's also the content of my work), but I actually enjoy coming off as gender neutral or gender indifferent online. I don't think it should affect the way someone views another person's art (although it does).

*InknPaper May 18, 2010

Haha That how I feel about the charms *shakes a fist* liiike theeeeem

I didn't know other tables got hit, but oh well.

And yes, it doesn't bother me at all, It's nice to be that way, since it shouldn't matter when viewing art (although you're right)

~Silvertide May 17, 2010

You don't seem intimidating online. Maybe in person, your 10 foot tall frame and massive muscles scares people away. xD

...what? You're not 10 feet tall with massive muscles? Um, maybe you haven't been making much effort to socialize? I notice I socialize less when I um, try less. xD

~fresh4u May 17, 2010

Haha yeah I know I'm guilty of not being on much.. but sometimes I feel like I rub people the wrong way? If I ask a question I won't get many replies, but if someone else asks the same thing they'll get a ton, and I notice that it has to do with the way people type. I think people take me too seriously or something because I don't use faces too much or something I DONT KNOW! Im just confused AHaha.

~frapachinocrazy4 May 17, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Aha I don't know you in person but I remember being kinda intimidated the first time I noted you. IS THAT WEIRD? Youre super nice though lol.

~fresh4u May 17, 2010

YES ITS WEIRD
MAYBE I SHOULD TYPE LIEK THIS?!!? 8DDDD 8D 8B !@12jgfu
/orz

if you met me in person you'd laugh your face off because I'm so NOT intimidating.
