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:points: .
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?)

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

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. :D

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

Deskcam and Scrubs

:iconchewedkandi:

Yanno one minute I have nothing I am working on... the next I have a handful of things I am working on....

One project I have planned on working on for the past year and I finally feel as if I am at the right stage of starting is a vector of one of my favourite actors/comedians. Those who know me know my all time favourite show is Scrubs... I am addicted to it! I previously did a terrible attempt at vexelling Zach Braff, which I plan to sort out in the future... but I got greedy didn't I.

Robert Maschio aka The Todd in Scrubs is one of my favourite characters... and last year I was checking out his website and there was a great image of him holding a balloon... but the problem was the image was too small :(

So just for the hell of it, I e-mailed the site, explained I had done a vexel of Zach Braff and really wanted to do one of Robert. To my surprise, Robert himself contacted me about my work and sent me a HQ image of him to work with... I was absolutely gob smacked... shocked and I just got all nervous that I would bugger it up. So I have procrastinated doing the vexel.

Now that I am a vector artist and I have learnt so much more since a year ago, I thought it would be time to work on him! So my first celebrity portrait with full consent and many compliments from the person :O :O :O

Another thing I am working on is putting together my own portfolio site and personal site... I have wanted to do this for a while. I used to have a pretty successful site and I loved looking after it... but after 2 years, I got bored. Now I want one again... I guess I want my own personal blog again :( There are a lot of things I can't really post on here - I only post "art" related stuff on here. Sorry guys!

Yet another thing... if you notice at the top of my userpage... I now have a button going to my Live deskcam - so if I am online and pottering about, you can check out what I am doing in realtime... so if you want to watch me working on a vector or whatever stalkerish things you wish to do, then click it :D

I will be editting this as part of my new portfolio/personal site with one of those tagboards for people to leave comments, but if you want to leave a comment for now then just leave one of this journal and I will get back to ya :D

So that's it really... 2 blogs in the space of 3 days... wow, how productive have _I_ been :P

Well now that I am working on vector layers and using a new program, I am exploring new avenues with it. Would be a shame to restrict myself to one style ;)

~gulhabo Mar 21, 2006
Yes, it would be a shame, But at the same time i love wha you do.
im tryin to open all the doors i can. Art n Music seems tu be what im good at.
I got illustrator too recently.. just havent had the chance tu explore and experiment things out yet.
Have u tried Macromedia Freehand 10 . dat where i draw my line art drawings. Very user friendly tu use.

I haven't tried MF 10... I am gonna stick with AI CS and learn what I can from that. I am exploring gradient meshes at the moment - which I am getting into, but it's a bit fiddly for me :(
