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.

IMPORTANT: Please be sure to state what you did

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

Advice and TutorialsSo this First Advice and Tutorial Journal will be on General Anatomy and Such. The second will be up to you so please comment below in what you think the next Advice and Tutorial Journal should be on.

What I personally find the hardest to draw is feet and hands. I found that with a lot of practice and a lot of frustrating mistakes my feet and hands actually look at the very least almost the way i want them to be.
Now my favorite Style of drawing is Anime or sometimes semi-realism, and i find that by doing studies of the more traditional style realism actually helps improve my anime pictures greatly. For instance i would practice drawing my hands and feet in different positions holding different things and from different angles. I also find it extremely helpful while i'm drawing and i'm having a particularly hard time drawing a hand or a foot in a certain position i will stop for a

Slimmer of the Week!

Yesterday was my weigh in... and in the past week I've lost 3.5lbs (1.6kg)! Making my total weight loss now 12.5lbs (5.7kg)! So close to losing a stone... oh so close

Not only that, but I am Slimmer of the Week this week

(which means I lost the most weight in my group

)

I'm hoping to hit the stone mark before my birthday at the end of the month, so just 1.5lbs to lose in 2 weeks... think I can do it?!

PS: having Chicken and king prawn in Black Bean sauce with rice tonight for dinner... nom nom nom

I'm Lovin' It

Oh it's an easy life!

Setting Daily Deviations, trying out vector resources, reading my favourite vector websites and working on my new vector tutorial... stopping in between to sing one of the new Linkin Park songs on Rockband.

Life is GOOD!

I'm a firm believer that if you're having a fabulous day, post a blog, tweet it, post it on Facebook... because we all have shitty days from time to time and it's good to read back things and capture a day when we felt so damn good.

Today is one of those days.

Vector Week!

I'm SO excited for Vector Week next week

- I really can't contain my excitement! I've been double checking and triple checking things today and there are some fantastic events which are going to be happening!

2 featured chat events!
1 Trivia event hosted by #vector-artists!
1 EPIC vector contest!
1 Vector Orgy hosted by #vexelove!
The Golden Pen Award winner annoucements!
and many other things!

Seriously, I'd make a good vibrator as I'm shaking so much in excitement! I hope you guys can join in on the fun during the week!

cheers!

Congrats on the weight loss, Shar, that's SO awesome, and I know you can reach your goal by your birthday...you go girl!!!
Sounds like life is treating you very well, I hope that continues for you

`ChewedKandi Jan 11, 2011 Professional Digital Artist

I'm being very good this week! I wanna hit one stone next week cos I know I'll put on a couple of pounds for my birthday <.< >.>

`DomiSM Jan 12, 2011 Professional Digital Artist

lol Holidays suck for weight loss...but then heck, any time seems to suck for me and weight loss! I'm trying to eat better...my weight fluctuates so much, I wish I could stick with something and seriously lose some weight

`ChewedKandi Jan 12, 2011 Professional Digital Artist

Argh I wrote a huge essay but my frigging browser crashed with the awesomeness.

Basically because of swine flu and a mix of not sticking to my diet for 3 weeks over the holidays, I lost 3lbs when I was weighed on the 3rd January.

I have motivation to lose weight for medical reasons. I have PCOS and because of this, I have problems with body hair. I'm not insecure over my body, Paul loves me and my big boobs, but having to shave my neck and chin really gets to me. I need to get my BMI lower to go on the pill which reduces body hair over a 6 month period. That and I want to get back into my gothic size 16-18 clothing again! When I started this diet, I was a size 22, now I'm a size 20, so I'm slowly getting there!

I think you need some motivation to lose the weight. Losing weight because it's good for you to be a healthier size doesn't motivate me, I've been a big girl all my life! If I really had a problem with the way I looked weight wise, I would have been slimmer a much longer time ago!!! So the thought of being able to not need to photoshop my chin and not needing to shave my neck is what is motivating me

`DomiSM Jan 12, 2011 Professional Digital Artist

Aww gosh hun, I can completely understand, I have PCOS too, and have always been a big girl..even when I wasn't 'fat' as a kid, I was always taller and bigger than the other kids in school. But when puberty hit, I piled on the pounds, always had the excess hair, was told at age 13 that I'd most likely never be able to have children...but was never given a reason or a diagnosis until about 10 years ago, when I was asked by my GP if I'd ever been diagnosed with PCOS, at which time I was also diagnosed with type 2 diabetes

Such a wonderful assortment of problems with PCOS, isn't it? I'm a size 26...I got down to 20 a few years ago, so I know I can do it...it's just the will power and not being able to do much exercise at the moment due to some other problems. Soon as I get well again I'm going to start...already got my bike out of the shed and dusted it off, so having it sitting there staring at me is helping..lol I never had any luck with the pill helping with my excess hair, but then it usually made me too sick and I couldn't take it for long, so I hope it works for you! I wish you all the luck in the world sweetie, you're doing SO great so far, keep going!!

`ChewedKandi Jan 12, 2011 Professional Digital Artist

I heard about PCOS about 10 years ago and it took me about 2 years to get diagonsed for it. Yanno when you heard a whole list of symptons and you just KNOW that explains everything?

I mean I didn't start my period until I was 16 but I had arm pit and leg hair when I was 11! I have 1 period every year and a half if I'm lucky. Not just those but many other of the symptons.

It wasn't until I pushed for them to scan my ovaries to see if I had the "cysts" that they finally diagnosed me. I mean you can't argue with a fuck load of "cysts" on your ovaries now can you?

- you know why I'm saying "cysts" - for anyone that reads this comment, they are not what you'd usually regard as cysts as they are eggs which cling onto the outside of the ovaries instead of travelling down your tubes.

I forget the BMI I need to get down to, I think I need to get to 29/30 but at the moment I'm 36, so I've got a long way to go!

The exercise thing, I'm trying to build up slowly... I actually started this week! So hoping it will have an effect

`DomiSM Jan 13, 2011 Professional Digital Artist

I had that same feeling when I was diagnosed, the whole list of symptoms described me perfectly, and while it was kind of a shock to get the diagnosis, at the same time it was sort of a relief to finally have a name to put with all this junk I'd dealt with for so long. I started my period when I was 11...and had all the hair to go along with it. Then when my periods were so irregular, I was dragged to the doctor, my mother certain that I was pregnant *eyeroll*...so embarassing, especially at that age, jeeze, boys still had cooties! My periods have been like clockwork for the past couple of years now, but the last few have been odd...one put me in hospital, and the last couple have been barely there...maybe I'm going through the change of life or something lol Who knows

Exercise will definitely help with the weight loss!
