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

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

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.

Winners

And after the long, hard and seemingly almost impossible task we managed to choose winners, almost... You soon will understand why we said "almost" but first we all want to thank every one who participated. We got much more entries than we ever expected, so much fantastic ideas, many talented and known artist but also many new talents, fresh ideas and bright accomplishments. We all want to just thank all participants, supporters and everyone who helped us. Thank you all - without you it would not have been possible.

And now the part we all have been waiting. First, about how the final results came - all entries that came to the final were given points in 3 categories: originality/personal style, use of stock and tehnic. We summed all the points and here are the results:

With almost maximum points the winner is:

We just had nothing to say about this piece as this is just breathtaking, the artist has so original ideas, style and everything in that piece is just so outstanding.

And second place, not much behind:

We loved her unique style, original stock choice and emotions.

And third place will go:

The idea, the colors and hard work we can see behind this piece. Fantastic way how to use those flames.

The Traveler's Visitors
The chips of spun sugar and diamond continued to float down across the barren landscape, making deep drifts of fallen stars. The frigid flakes had been falling for several hours, though their numbers had been decreasing steadily for some time. The sun in the northern sky could be seen nearing the horizon through what was left of the gray clouds. Night was approaching, and little stirred across the barren expanse of snow, save for a lone figure trudging its way determinedly over the unmarked landscape of white.

Covered by a black cloak from head to toe, little could be told about the intruder in this serene scene. They were armed with a dar by ~KeeperoftheRealms
