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

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

DA is getting on my nerves...

Journal Entry: Sun Dec 4, 2011, 12:36 AM

First of all I'm going to post this link of a journal a fellow deviant or ex deviant wrote lately.[link]
Read it, it's interesting and I agree on most parts of it, even though *Piddling is very strict.
And I'm supporting most of his arguements...

I'm fine with kittens I love them actually but the DD's? No...

Including my latest deviation that got a DD : [link]. I don't think that that was my best work

Also what is happening with the groups is lame. Way too many groups and many of them support their friends. I've noticed that I am "black listed" from some specific groups after I made negative comments to some deviants that were friends with the admins of the groups. Lame!

Also I keep trying and trying to do better in my photography, work with new people, models, stylists etc and my new photos that I think they are really getting better since and I am getting positive feedback from professionals for my true improvment, here they get zero views and faves, but if I upload a photo with my boobs, even if it is a cell phone shot, all hell breaks loose and I get tons of views, favorites, messages, notes, comments, everything!
Well I don't care about that, I don't care about teenage boys that are here to watch nude photos, go find some porn site people!
I'm telling you, boob photos are over, if that's what you expect from me, un-watch now!

Thanks for reading

Hi. I'm sorry you have had the experience you have that has caused you to have to censor your page here. I do wish folks had more manners and sense of respect. I'll admit, I liked a number of your nude photos, but not all of them (not that you posted any bad shots) but I didn't watch your art for just that. Actually I really liked a number of the shots of you being totally goofy! Those oare some really fun shots that are great for showing a side of you other than being a great and very professional model. It's not too often you find people(not just women) who are comfortable enough with themselves to be able to do that. Those shots made your art even more interesting. It seemed to me as you had disappeared for awhile as the shots I had faved disappeared and I couldn't find your page to see what happened. You work behind the camera is as interesting and maybe even more so than the work you do in front of it. But, you are a very talented model and photographer who is excellent on either side. That's what keeps me coming back to your page. And whether you've been truly gone or not, it's great to see you back!

~wjie20 Jan 30, 2012

wow, you know Piddling too? I find that it's awesome that two of my few favourite photographers know one another.

Truly support his journal too!

~DecoGoddess Dec 20, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

DA is very weird lately. I agree about the groups. There are some groups where I attempt to post and am rejected when art that is of the same genre but with far less production value is snapped up. I bet if I was the submit a Helmut Newton shot they would reject it simply because I am who I am. Not exactly cool.

I LOVE your art and feel what you feel for sure !

i personally did not start watching you for your "boob shots" your other photos brought me in i just felt i couldnt comment on your photos cause my artistic talent begins and ends with cooking but i do enjoy your photos and think your work is great so dont let them get you down

=PolarImpress Dec 11, 2011 Professional Photographer

speaking of ridiculous DD's have you seen this one today ??? [link]

~mariannaphotography Dec 12, 2011

jesus!

=PolarImpress Dec 12, 2011 Professional Photographer

it makes the point about crap DD's very well doesnt it

~jsw808 Dec 11, 2011 Student Photographer

I think that thats sad, and tends to happen with a lot of people I know on this site. I have to say that I (who is clearly a student) have seen some improvements with your photography in that they have more meaning and maybe more feeling to it, than pretty girls looking sexy. Now mind you I truly admire your work, and it has somewhat inspired me to become a professional photographer, the newer photos I like a lot more. For example, I love the Romanticism pictures. They were beautiful. But yeah I find that you get more notice on here for the wrong reasons, than you do for what the site is supposed to be for.

~CrankyGeek Dec 10, 2011 Professional Interface Designer

I'm sorry I disagree, art should not only be for those elitist few who can produce fine works but should be encouraged in every one even if their syles and tastes are different.

Art should always be controversial, if not then there is no growth and expansion of understanding.

When one persons views dictate the views of what constitutes fine art then there is no longer art worth seeing, while I agree there is a lot of fluff on DA there is always room to teach and understand.

Why discourage those who try, no one goes into any field with full understanding or an ability to produce top notch work, it takes time and effort.
