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.

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

My Sketch Blog


Hello dAers! It's been a while, hasn't it? I feel like I never update this thing unless I have something exciting or dorky to say.

And what do you know, I have both! Sorta. Kinda. Well not really. First off, dearest *Guiled-Dragon was a DEAR and had everyone who entered win her contest. I was quite convinced there was no way I had a chance with the talented people that entered, but she was a sweetheart and gave us ALL three month subscriptions for entering! So here's the question, people who have had them:

What on earth do you DO with them? My biggest happiness is being able to plop deviations in my journals and put a stack of silly stamps right next to this journal. But what else do you guys like to do with these babies? What are things I should take advantage of before it runs out?

Secondly, I started posting on my old LJ again- and I know, I know, Livejournal, Rovs, really? But my friends were doing it, and I figured it'd be a SWELL place to settle in for a daily sketch blog and also rant about my life whenever I see fit. Much better than clogging up this thing here, right? So if you want to see my doodles that I upload daily, click the link at the top of this journal! Don't be shy, leave a comment or two if you wish. I don't bite, I promise.

You might even learn a little bit about SoF while you're there. Who knows?

Also, after four years of the same Allan icon (thanks for making it blink, Elysse! :heart:) I've updated it to a more recent doodle I did awhile back of Se'vre.

I've run out of creative things to do, oddly enough. I think I just need to start on another book series, and I know exactly what I have in mind. But we shall see, either way! It may just be my two days off of work speaking, I'm not entirely sure. Maybe I'm just enough of a dork to love my job that I grow bored when I'm not actually working.

Weird. Anyways!

Hope everything is going well with everyone!


Shiny arts for ya'll to take a peek at that I absolutely adore:

ooh stamps, you lucky! Also, totally unrelated---I loved the 'i like fried chicken' option you put in your poll. I was SO tempted to click it. SO tempted.

And....

*slowly raises hand* I have an idea for a story,several in fact, but I need someone with drive to motivate me to get it going and finished. If you'd be interested in co-authoring something...you know how to find me. ^^

Hahah, well. I'm a unashamed iCarly fan, and one of the characters on there loves fried chicken- thus I did it as a tribute to her. You should have clicked it!

Oooh, that sounds like fun! Hit me up on AIM when you see me on next, and we shall discuss!

uh. Iduno. Something random.

Liek, how much lamb would a lamb chop chop if a lamb chop could chop lamb :B . One of the possible answers should be mutton.

...but YOU did that.

And I want it to be an actual question! Haha.

Maybe a question of who is interested in SoF.
