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.

Thanks for the feature honey...Sorry I'm late...

*Pygar Aug 5, 2008

My pleasure, you're work is amazing!

Haha, I was about to comment that you weren't late at all then I realised this was for the earlier feature, so you are late!

Anyway, I have two of your works features in my latest journal, just I never got round to sending notes, I'm too overloaded with everything else at the moment!

~PaintedOnMySoul Jul 5, 2008

I've read so much where people have no clue what their violation was all about .. nor were they asked to provide proof of what stock they might have used etc .. where it came from. The only thing I can guess is that since you used only dA stock is that one of the stockers violated copyright and you used the image they provided .. although I can't think that would be too likely. I've looked at the pic .. it that's it at the top, and see nothing in violation, many have used the same pieces all over dA .. the cross, crow, dress, model, was the back one piece or many? I would demand to know what piece they are comparing it to, so that you at least have that satisfaction of knowing .. a ship sinking in the water is hardly a new concept or totally unusual. Let us all know if they tell you what this is all about.

~WargusEstor Jul 5, 2008 Hobbyist Digital Artist

You're not the only one with that problem, they also deleted one of my deviations (I reuploaded it though) - it's just annoying

*Pygar Jul 7, 2008

Yes I've heard from quite a few people who have had the same happen. I noted the help desk three days ago but so far nothing!

~bye-bye-omoide Jul 5, 2008 Student

_{When I make photomanips., I always make sure I give a link to the exact stock I used so no one can come with their drama in my face. I don't remember if you did this, but if not, I think you should. :/

dA is probably getting all dramatized 'cause new staff members like to play drama queens...or something. Scary how people make dA the way it is, it's like the police, if a crazy person gets a job as a cop, bad shit happens.}

*FairyDustMagic Jul 5, 2008 Hobbyist General Artist

I had the same thing happen to me, even though I gave the proper credit they still deleted the stamp I made for a friend.

Ugh. I had the same thing happen to me with one of my deviations that I had sited all sources and copy rights and given ample proof that the work was stock photos, but well DA has become a total fuck up lately.
