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

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.

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

Deadbeat Deviants

Fri Jun 17, 2011, 1:03 PM

FOR MY STOCK PHOTOS, PLEASE VISIT

Still looking for women around the New Jersey area for modeling for both photography and my artwork. If interested, contact me at mslbodyworks@comcast.net Also see my ModelMayhem page: [link] or my ModelURL page: [link]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've noticed some things lately that kind of bug me. Since I've been uploading some photos of lovely ladies that I've photographed, I've gotten plenty of page views and fav's. I'm not sure how many of you take the time to check out the profiles of people that 'fav' your art, but I've noticed some disturbing stuff! I've visited some pages of people that have fav'd my photos of these women and found that many of them have no profile made up, no art of any kind of their own, all of their 'fav's' are mostly nude or semi-nude women, and in some cases have been on DeviantArt for many months and in some cases YEARS! Now believe me, I love a beautiful woman as much as the next guy (or girl) as the case may be. And yes a majority of my 'fav's' are beautiful women in various stages of undress, but as you can see, I am here to feature MY art and photography, not prowl for free nude pics! I 'fav' many photos either for the pure beauty of the model and style of the photographer, or for great ideas for my own photography. There's plenty of free porn sites if all you want is pictures of naked women. What scares me even more is that I've noticed that people blindly thank these people for 'faving' their photos! Sure, I'm sure there are a few 'art appreciators" out there, but to be on here for YEARS and have no work of your own, or even a profile, be certain I won't be thanking you for 'faving' my work! Do yourself a favor people and find the time to see who's 'faving' you work, you might be surprised!

What an interesting point of view. Being one of the people that fav pictures of women and have no profile to speak of, I feel I should comment on this. I arrived on this site because of the other art that I really enjoy and use for my private backgrounds for my computers. I get tired of the same old stuff you find on the web and there are many talented artists here that I feel as long as I am not publishing or trying to steal their work in any way would not mind so much me using their art as desktop backgrounds. (these backgrounds are never ones of women or sexual in nature) I am not an artist of any sort but I enjoy to view what I deem beautiful just like any other person. That being said, I believe art, like treasure, is in the eye of the beholder. Some people may view cars as art, other have a more abstract view. I on the other hand tend to lean towards the female form as being my favorite channel of art. I am not a fan of those that just post the raunchy graphic shots of women. Those I do believe are more pornographic than artistic in nature, But that is just my take on things. I am more of a fan of the photos of those women that may be partially undressed because I like to leave something to the imagination. Not to say I do not fav nude photo's as well, it is just that it is faved for more than them just being nudes. For example, a pose, expression, make up or so on. I do take the time to comment on the ones that are more exceptional. I do not think it is fair to point out any one person for faving one certain style of art. I do not make up any profile because I am a bit anti social on the web. I believe that socializing is best done in person and the phenomenon of autonomous socializing on the web has caused society to withdraw a little bit and has been a cause of people feeling more paranoid and alienated in real life. never the less, the topic is admirable and has brought an interesting conversation to light. I just figured I would add my two cents so that more than one perspective could be shared.

*Dracoart Jun 18, 2011

I appreciate you commenting and getting the side of it from someone that kind of fit the profile I commented about! The difference is that you took the time to fill out some Devious Info, reply to people's comments, and your 'favs' aren't all nudes, there are many very artistic, clothed and even "face only" shots in there.
The only thing that might make me suspicious is your Deviant ID text about the "creepy old guy"!

I thought I was the creepy old guy!

~RogueWolf33 Jun 18, 2011

ha ha ha, I added that all last night cuz I felt a bit like the odd man out. dont worry, we can both be creepy old guys. maybe we can start a social website of creepy old guys

*Tycho-Skies Jun 17, 2011 Student Traditional Artist

Uuuh I know, it's the truth... but I will be honest, I was never bothered by it until you put it that way!

*Dracoart Jun 17, 2011

Same here. I never really thought too much about it until I visited the pages of the people who were faving my photos of women. Most people were awesome artists and photographers themselves, but some just seemed creepy. (Not that I'm squeaky clean)!

~Estelle-fotography Jun 17, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

its the internet, what u expect? haha....ive only been on DA for about a couple weeks to feature my photography, but as days go on....seems a bit like a "facebook" or "myspace" page to some people i think....like myspace was originally made for music....look what happened to that lol...anyways....yes many pervs on the net...unfortunatly none of us can do anything about that....

*Dracoart Jun 17, 2011

You are correct! I figured I'd just let those people know to check into things a bit more!

~Estelle-fotography Jun 17, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

yea for sure, good lookin out tho

*Raineve Jun 17, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

hmmm i may need to start looking at people account that fave my stuff now....
