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

note me

life sometimes tend to be really boring don't you think??
you cannot be all the time thinking about life and it's meaning and even if you try, normally those things, i mean the answers, come to you in an unexpected way, sometimes no matter how certain you feel about something it's aimed to change 'cause you're changing and also your understanding of life, you don't think the way u used to when you where 5 in the same way you will think in a different way when you're 10 years older than you're now.

personally i think life is too short to be all "mature" all the time, that i play games doesn't mean i know nothing and that i act silly doesn't mean i don't care about things either.

i've been told several times here in DA that i should "grow up" and i actually start to wonder if i "should", by this i mean not to play games anymore or act silly or anything, i say this 'cause i just got a pretty funny comment in my latest poll, a deviant actually stopped watching me 'cause i used

in it lol... it's just...odd and weird...and odd

it was just for fun, not everything has to have a higher purpose my dear, just to point it out i'm 25 years old and i know about life a little more than i wish i would but i still have the right to have a little fun, if you don't like the poll don't vote, simple as that but let me assure you something, you won't find anyone in the world that isn't silly and that all the time challenges your knowledge in polls or journals, books or life.

but yeah, maybe is time for me to stop being like this, at least in DA, may all my upcoming journals/polls be about lessons and knowledge (no sarcasm in here)

cheers for the ones that actually made it to the end

=Aziot Mar 8, 2010 Hobbyist Artist

There is a time for everything, and I personally think that if you want to be silly and use dA as a place to let that out, then go ahead.

If you are really trying to use dA as a professional place and to really sell artwork, then you might want to be more "professional" but there are people that do appreciate the silliness.

I really understand the negative feedback from others for not always acting "Mature" I get it a lot because I love to enjoy life and be silly to make things more fun. But I am also one of the more mature people around too when it's called for.

I hope you don't let that one deviant or anyone get you way down. It's really not worth it

Just be comfortable with who you are

~my-dark-desire Mar 9, 2010

yeah i must say you're right, there's a time for everything, personally i've tried to be more mature already anyway hahaha, didn't turn out natural, i mean i am mature but i can't just push my childish side apart all the time it's just impossible for me, and yup being silly is so fun!
hehehe, thanks for everything dear ^^

~Woaska Mar 8, 2010

Agreeing with 0xkyleax0. Don't listen to other people that much. Your are good and uniqe (spelling?) as the one you are right now.

If a deviant stops watch you for being "unmature" it's he/shes problem. Who wants people like that as watchers anyway? >.<

You can be mature in many ways and in different things. You can be childish in a mature way for example, and that's a good thing I think. ^^

I love to read your journal, poems and everything you write about these stuff btw.

~my-dark-desire Mar 9, 2010

thank you ^^
yeah i know but sometimes things like these really make me wonder if i have to change, dunno

thank you very much for taking the time to read my journal and everything :3
you're very nice and i loved what u said "You can be mature in many ways and in different things. You can be childish in a mature way for example, and that's a good thing I think. ^^"

~Woaska Mar 9, 2010

I use to think the same sometimes. But deep inside I know it's wrong, to change into something people want you to be. x)

It's intresting. ^^

*0xkyleax0 Mar 8, 2010 Photographer

Don't stop being yourself just to please others! I happen to appreciate your spirit and silliness, and you for who you are. (even if I only know you here on dA)
I hope you will not let negative people discourage you...Just ignore them...Hehe!

Live life! Smile! And continue to do the things you love and act as you please!

Best wishes to you

~my-dark-desire Mar 9, 2010

thank you, i know i can't please everyone but i think sometimes people take things the wrong way *sigh
and thank you for the support ^^
your comments makes me feel a lot better and more confident :3

best wishes for you to

*0xkyleax0 Mar 9, 2010 Photographer

I am glad that I could make you feel at least a little better...

There are people out there that still care
