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?)

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.

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

UPDATE: I need to draw something that isn't my CC entry and that has nothing to do with a lesson plan or the book 1984 or Seedfolks or The Giver or a memoir or I might go crazy. Donate any amount of points over 5, post a link to your character reference, and snag a sketch spot! No humans, sorry. Unless you want me to draw your human as a dog, then by all means you're welcome to do so!

EDIT Those closed fast o.O

Just a general update so I'll keep it short. It's the last month of classes for me and because of this all of my major projects are due very soon. Lots of unit plans. And then I have my certification exams. So if I take a little longer to respond or comment on things, that's why. I'm trying to work through it all while keeping up with CC and retaining some small shred of sanity.

There was someone who offered their comic to be reviewed, so once I do manage some time (ha) that will be on the chopping block for Sugarfree. Afterwards will be the article for both writers and comic artists regarding dialog.

And as for the hypothetical OCT that was mentioned in the poll some while ago, the gears are starting to whir. I can't really say anything at the moment, except that it will be something that happens. Currently in the process of getting some staff together, and I have high hopes this time. More officially things will be announced towards the end of the month.

Below is a list of things I have to do for class; just ignore it. It's here so that every time I log onto DA I can see it and say "Look at all of the things I have to do that I'm not doing. I should go do them."

_{Things I need to do for class
-Brit Lit Annotated Bib. (Friday)
-Brit Lit essay revisions (17th)
-Brit Lit Unit Plan (24th)

another oct?.... oh pleeeease dear lord let it happen 83.... and don't let me miss it this time round either -_-'

*Songdog-StrayFang Apr 14, 2012 Student Writer

Just be sure to keep your eyes open for it; the gears are currently in motion.

~Darkside-Rojas Apr 16, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

eyes open wide

*Canis-ferox Apr 8, 2012 Student General Artist

Oh hey. I see a Glogster project. Had to do one of those one time in high school. And I see Heart of Darkness. I just bought that actually.

I seriously don't know how you balance all this stuff with making a full color OCT comic. I don't do a brilliant job of balancing my coursework (which seems less strenuous as I'm still in my first year) and an (ocacsionally) illustrated literature entry.

*Songdog-StrayFang Apr 8, 2012 Student Writer

I absolutely abhor Glogster. It is poorly designed and super clunky. And I also abhor Heart of Darkness. I found an audio reading online I play while coloring CC pages.

This is why I don't feel too guilty when a page looks sloppy. But also why I get a little annoyed when people point out said sloppiness. I'm barely able to balance it as it is, I had to give up doing a lot of side artwork just to keep up with progress. But some people keep pointing things out. I'm scrapped for time as it is x.x

*Canis-ferox Apr 9, 2012 Student General Artist

I'd have thought they'd have it a bit more streamlined by now. The main thing I remember about making mine was being angry the entire time. And interesting. I bought that book with the intention of summer reading

So we'll see how that goes.

I don't blame you, really. It's annoying when people, point out something you're already fully aware of but can't fix. And anyway it's quite a lot of dedication to give up side artwork and the like, and to have stuck with the medium consistently for this long. I don't think whatever sloppiness is there (I'm not usually one to notice it) is a problem. I find the whole thing pretty impressive, honestly.

~VariableNature Apr 8, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Sending points: Could you draw my character Amy Tolson (link here to physical reference: [link]) reacting to being changed into an animal? I don't care which one.

Thank you!

*Songdog-StrayFang Apr 8, 2012 Student Writer

This is the second time I've turned poor Amy into an animal = D

~VariableNature Apr 8, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Ah, but will it be the same animal, or something different? THAT is the question.
