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

Not Feeling The Christmas Spirit This Year ...

Hey, guys! Check out the stuff

is doing! Currently, he's looking for commission work and his stuff has really improved over the years I have been blessed to know him!

Update! I just posted the "Scarlet The Unticklish!" which is a commission I got from

! Please, take a moment to check it out and then be sure to let him know what you think!

Thanks!

Just a quickie before work ... but I haven't been feeling the urge to get into the Christmas Spirit this year.  Much like last year with the tailspin of Mom's condition and the lack of the economic state (resist urge to bitch further on this!), this year has really stretched my emotional state.  True, things for me have gotten better, thanks to friends and family ... and all of my support here, thank you so much!  But ... I just ... I'm not sure if it's because I'm burned out or if I'm still numb.

I was the one at work who put up much of the decorations, but I felt it was more to help the mood at the office than anything else.  I did manage to scrape enough together to get a friend another BOGO subscription here and it got me another year added.  I did manage to get my friends at the Saturday RPG Night each a light up d20 known as the "Critical Hit Dice!"  And even got something extra special for my Big Sister: a purse made from two Texas licence tags with the Space Shuttle on them ... like me, she loves Texas ... we both love ZZTop!

But even after all of that, I'm still not feeling it this year.

Please, don't think that I'm going through a "Bah!  Humbug!" state.  I really feel this year we need to get back to it, the spiritual feel of the season ... the reason for the season deal.  But not just the religious side, but the ability to love each other, to share with each other as people are moved to feel, and the faith in pushing onward.

Merry Christmas to everyone out there!  And here's to hoping next year will bring forth stability and peace to our world!

Love and Kisses,
Loonia

Thanks to all of you who have been encouraging me to work hard and get this year going really good.

Also, a reminder ... I have a studio mail box if you want to write to me: (Doubtful, but you never know.

Thanks. I just talked to Pop and he's feeling about the same, but it sounds like he's been given some love by the friends and family around in the area. My Big Sister and her daughter are planning to stop by over the course of this week to visit. He also understands my inability to get out there and he's good with that.

Try to have a Happy Holiday

~Gryphon2001 Dec 19, 2011

I've been in that 'bah,humbug' state of mind for Years...
just got tired if 'chri$tma$.'...

~eent242 Dec 19, 2011

Same here. I think it's a combination of the above factors, plus, for a Canadian, no snow.

That just doesn't seem right.

~Narzain Dec 19, 2011

I think I know what you mean. There's just this growing sense of apathy casting a pall over, well, everything. Here we are, 2000 years after one man got nailed to a chunk of wood for saying how great it would be if we were all nice to each other for a change, and it looks like we need another reminder.

But life does go on, and so should we. Have a happy holiday season, and may the coming year bring more joy than pain.

*THE-Darcsyde Dec 19, 2011

I feel your pain, Sweetie.
Been out of it as far as the season goes,...putting up decorations,..listening to Christmas tunes...nog,...even my fave Christmas movies....nothing helps.
Got my best friend THAT Sasquatch a couple of little things before my meager funds were tapped, which made me feel better,...but still not into it.
Oh well.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Buttercup.
