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?)

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

Bioluminescence, Boredom, and Why I Dropped Off

Journals / Personal

...The Face of the Earth.

Holy fishsticks, I'm baaack! Sorry I just totally vanished there on you guys. Like I said, my compy is undergoing repairs and I went on vacation to Puerto Rico for the past week, and, unfortunately, I HAD NO COMPUTER. NONE. NOT EVEN MS WORD, MUCH LESS Teh Internets. Eek, I nearly went mad. So now I return with one thing to report.

Basically, I spent the entire week being bored out of my skin, because I couldn't for the life of me find a bookstore and I NEED TO READ. Also, we were there with my stepmom's parents, so there wasn't much hiking or snorkeling that we could do. And, don't get me wrong, I could spend my life at the beach, but (it being December and all) the water was just a bit too cold to swim in, and thus, along with the absence of reading material and computers, I wasn't really sure what to do with myself. But no matter. The weather was amazing and I love palm trees. And I saw a magnificent frigatebird, which was pretty awesome.

BUT, the thing which pretty much made up for a week of boredom was what my stepmom, her mom, my brother and I did the last night we were there. OH MY GOD.
We went on a night kayaking trip to La Parguera, one of the four brightest bioluminescent bays in the world (one is artificial in Japan, and the other has been polluted badly and doesn't glow much anymore). But, OMGOMGOMG holy crap it was GORGEOUS!!! A certain type of plankton in the water glows when disturbed: so every time your paddle hit the water or you stuck your hand in or a fish swam by. The fish were the best part, I think. There were schools of little shrimps and minnows in the water of the lagoon, and if you hit your kayak with your paddle they'd all get scared and all the water within three yards would light up. It was REALLY COOL. I could go on an on, but suffice it to say that it was a fantastic experience, and if you ever get the chance you should DEFINATELY GO.

Other than that, things is good, and I am finishing the pic as we speak. So, happy new year everybody, and have a great rest-of-break!

...I think Puerto Rico has now been added to places I want to visit.

*TheAntimonyElement Jan 5, 2009 Hobbyist General Artist

Certainly! Summer is generally the better season for the bioluminescent plankton, but our guide said that this was the brightest winter he had ever seen. Just make sure to bring lots of books for beach-reading! (That was my mistake...

)

*Destro7000 Jan 4, 2009 Digital Artist

wow, sounds like a cool place....when you said Bioluminescent bays at first I thought you were talking about the sand glowing in the dark

but the fish glowing in the lagoon sounds cool

*TheAntimonyElement Jan 5, 2009 Hobbyist General Artist

Naw, it's the plankton in the water that glows...I really wish we could have seen a stingray, the guide said that they look like glowing underwater UFOs. But the schools of fish and shrimp were really neat. And if you got your clothes wet, they glowed too!

Plus it's good for the plankton, too (they have slow metabolisms, so exciting them and making them glow is healthy), so it was an all-around good experience.

*Destro7000 Jan 8, 2009 Digital Artist

ooo sounds cool!

I'd like to see a Manta ray or something, I hear they're pretty colossal. I went on a glass-bottom catamaran boat in Spain (mediterranean sea) and we saw stingrays and hoards of colourful fish in the coral, it was like a glassy submarine, very fun.

For some reason when I'm swimming in sea water I only see the top of the water, and it's so dark and misty that I have some kind of phobia attached to it, just because you don't know what's underneath. But when you get to see clearly in deep seawater it's kinda cool

*TheAntimonyElement Jan 12, 2009 Hobbyist General Artist

Ooh, cool! I actually prefer cloudy ocean water to clear lake or reef water...being able to SEE the depth and all the creepy fish around me freaks me out a lot. (I do not like fish--I mean, I love to eat them, but I do not like to have them near me. D: ) In the ocean, you can pretend that you are all alone in the water. See, whenever I go out on my aunt's lake in a kayak or something, all these massive black carp start following me. When you are in a kayak, this is not fun. And when I went snorkeling in the Florida Keys, a six-foot baraccuda tried to eat me.

Haha, when my family went swimming with the stingrays in Belize, I dropped my snorkeling mask in the water. A stingray "flew" over and sucked it up! My dad had to chase it until it dropped the goggles. I laughed.

*Destro7000 Jan 19, 2009 Digital Artist

I'm not obsessed with fish, either. Like, I wouldn't like to be surrounded by them in particular, because they seem so huge and alien to me. And yeah I have a fear that if I can see under the surface of seawater that I know is deep (you know it goes that hazy black-blue colour when you're on a boat at sea) -then I get more scared because I know that there's something underneath that I can't see.
I guess for you if you can't see it then ignorance is bliss, hehe.

I like walking out to sea when I'm at the beach, but it sometimes passes my mind that I'll sting my legs on an unseen jellyfish or accidentally rip my feet on a jagged rock (skin is more tender in water than out in the air!)

lol, that sounds like comedy - a stingray sucking up your goggles

-I love snorkel masks so much better than those crummy swimming pool goggles. I wanting to wear them in an indoor pool once and the lifeguard said it wasn't allowed

grr!

*TheAntimonyElement Jan 22, 2009 Hobbyist General Artist

Eew, yes. I have no problem with not knowing if knowing would make me feel worse.

Especially with creepy underwater crawlies...

I've never hurt myself really badly at the beach...I mean, I got sand stuck in my eye once, and it stayed there for days until we had an opthamologist numb my eye and get it out.

But it didn't actually hurt that much--just kinda itched.

*Destro7000 Jan 25, 2009 Digital Artist

creepy underwater crawlies? that just sounds like....crabs.

yeah I've not hurt myself ultra-badly at the beach, but having said that a lot of minor injuries have happened to me there! I think it's cos I'm always doing more physical stuff than usual at the beach like pegging it down tall sand dunes and hopping back and forth across diagonal (limpet-covered and oohh yes those little guys are sharp) rocks to reach rock pools with little plastic fishing nets. Or walking up precarious cliffside paths - we got a lot of those. People in southwest England are dumb, they wont repair broken countryside paths on the grounds of '

rotecting rustic heritage' and what-not

*TheAntimonyElement Jan 27, 2009 Hobbyist General Artist

You know, if you're going to crawl over limpet-covered rocks, it's usually a good idea to wear boat shoes, or the British equivalent thereof.

When I'm at the beach, I spend the whole time in the water. And then when I get cold, I come out and dig holes. And then I go back in the water...

I do fish for minnows with a net, though...you don't get too many rock beaches on the East Coast below New England (Maine down to New York), so not too many tidepools, but plenty of little fish in the shallow water that are fun to catch sometimes.

I hate mussel-things. I mean, barnacles are sharp, but the REALLY bad ones are zebra mussels, which are taking over Lake Michigan (the 2nd-biggest Great Lake...I think Superior is too cold

) Anyway, the zebra mussels are from Africa or someplace and came in with the ballast-water in ships, and they are now killing the lakes. AND THEY ARE SHARP LITTLE BUGGERS. They're very small, and like to hide under the sand, and are razor-sharp. I have family up there, and one time I was visiting a beach with my cousin. She said the water in this particular spot was too cold for the mussels, so it was ok to go swimming barefoot. So the shallows were fine, but out deeper I dove down to the bottom to get a rock (contest; don't ask!

), pushed off from the bottom, and pretty well sliced my foot open (apparently the mussels live in the deep water, too!

) Yeowch. And if you're wondering, I really do like the Great Lakes--they're very different from regular lakes, a lot like the ocean except they're fresh water and really, really clear. But the size--I mean, they're massive. It's easy to believe they're not lakes at all.
