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.

Late January Feature (New)

Journal Entry: Sun Jan 25, 2009, 1:33 PM

January Feature

This is the second feature from my recent poll and wow, this was a mammoth one!
This took me several hours to set up so if you're featured it would be really nice if you took a look at everyone else's work and maybe faves a couple or even comment. In particular it would be nice if those who have literature featured took a look at the other literature featured!

Here's a link to the first feature [link]

I'll leave this open and will do another tomorrow if I have enough submissions, it will close tomorrow at 9am GMT.

If your picture isn't featured please let me know!

Life and DeathI entered the chapel and was greeted by absolute silence- but this was no ordinary silence. In ordinary silence there is some sound: the ticking of a clock, the drone of machinery, air circulating through a room. This was the sort of silence in which all sound was absorbed, like a vacuum. I couldn't even hear myself breathe as I looked for signs of life. None greeted me.

I waited for a moment and then took a tentative step forward. The resulting explosion of noise from that single footfall gave me pause to consider whether I wanted to go on. I steeled myself and pressed onward.

Deafened by the thunderous sound of my own footfalls, I scurrie

Twitter-pattedI can’t help
But smile
As me heart
Starts pounding
I get joy
From seeing him
I laugh
And giggle
And blush
A shy smile
Creeps onto
My face
A laugh
Escapes
my throat
And it
Lightens
My mood
Considerably
I am
What they call
Twitter-patted
With a kid
Who hangs with
A vampire

TechnicolourI am sixteen and twenty days. The sky is bleak and the sweet December wind that comes in through the half open window carries snowflakes and a wonderful scent of burning wood to cover that of acrylic and oil paint. Father’s funeral had been nearly a year prior yet my mother still cannot come to terms with it. It is Wednesday and I have not yet gone to school this week. My sock clad feet were cold; the cement did not take retain heat and the small heater in the corner is no match against the sweet December chill. My not-quite-canvas clothing is warm and rough against my skin.

A radio is playing: a fast, bright electronic beat of throbbin

:thumb109689609:

The Woeful River Of SoulsI can see you in my mind's eye.
Doomed, to a Secondhand existence.
Come to me, little one, I'll help you...
I'll take you away.
Across the River Styx,
I'll lead you to your happy doom.

Come to Me, I can still see you.
And, you know of Me...
I am the one the Full Moon whispers of.
You can see Me in your mind's eye.
Now, come to me,
I'll take you away,
Across the River Acheron.
I'll lead you to your tragic doom.
