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.

Bronies go nuts, and Nintendo Sucks?Equestria Girls
The trailer to "Equestria Girls" (the humanized MLP spinoff film) finally was released today. Aaaannnd everyone's freaking out. Again.
You know, it actually looks pretty decent. Bronies... please understand: I know you're a major unexpected demographic for the show. I know you enjoy seeing shout-out's become canon within the show, and appreciate how the creators do little things here and there for you. But... the show isn't made for you. This is not Cartoon Network and the target demographic isn't 25 year olds in college. You're a nice addition to the target demographic of little girls, but you are not the driving force behind MLP.
I don't want this to sound mean, but it needs to be said. This is where it becomes very important to understand the fine line between being a fan of the show and thinking that because you've invested so much energy into the show that you're entitled to things.
I'm sure the movie won't be as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It honest
Devious Journal Entryokay, i kinda have to say something....

I have faith in my art, i use it as a way of expressing myself and paying homage to my favorite subject: creepypasta. man do i love creepypa

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?)

Insects in art

Journal Entry: Thu Jan 31, 2013, 7:19 AM
  • Mood: Delighted
I just wrote a post in my blog about insects in shops found on Etsy: [link]

I haven't spent much time browsing deviantART in a while. Does anyone have favorite insect-themed artists here they recommend I should check out? I'm a bit burnt out on insect photography (I love it and drool over it every day), but I'd love to find more artists (2D or 3D) to admire and possibly buy from.

Thanks!

Insects and other "crawly things" are definitely under-represented in art.
I don't know if you've seen this guy's work: [link] It's photography, but it's not your typical macros. He makes these amazing little indoor sets where he places insects and lets them wander around to get different shots. It winds up being these "fairytale" looking pictures. Really beautiful stuff.

not insects, but if you like spider art too, i collected quite a few awesome spiderart over the last years, maybe you like the one or the other as much as I do,
Would be nice if you did because can only fav them once to give them some love and most of them are really great pieces of art

I could have said that all in one comment, but I'M weird and didn't - sorry for posting 3 times in short time here :/
