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?)

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

Removing from some groups

by ~zzen, Jan 8, 2010, 11:52:28 AM
Journals / Personal

Due to some change here in DA, I had to remove myself from some former clubs - now groups. I found my mailbox overmailed by deviations, which in my opionion are very low quality - mostly kind of fan art and all the anime and manga rubbish...

I will see how the situation will change if I only keep one group, which is adding deviation to my devwatch list and SLOVAKIA, which is slightly different group.

Anyway - what do you thing of oversubmiting with low quality rubbish?

My special thanks to all wonderful people from

Pravda, je to dilema.
Keď som sa na dA prihlasil tiež som produkoval odpad ktorí tešil asi len mňa... (I keď mňa ani nebolo moc vidno vtedy) Dnes už (dúfam) produkujem aspoň kvalitný odpad

Je však ťažko zobrať právo založiť si profil ľudom ktorí ho chcú mať... Možno by to však chcelo nejaký filter, podla ktorého by deviácie skončili len v osobnom albume autora alebo verejnom albume dA. Len kto má ten patent ako na to?
A ano niektore grupi fakt pridávajú všetko čo ich členovia chcu zverejniť... bohužial. Treba si vyberať take grupi ktorim záleží na kvalite. A Slovakia je fakt zvláštn prí

ad pre nás

pán !MeNTaLPSyCHo ju vytiahol vysoko... Vďaka mu.

~zzen Jan 9, 2010 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Uz som na to prisla ako, necham si len to, aby mi to hadzalo novinky a zurnaly a ked budem chciet povrtat v galeriach grupy, tak to urobim. Uz som si to nastavila pri vsetkom tak, zrusila som mrtve kluby, v ktorych som bola a uvidime

~icarosteel Jan 9, 2010

maybe I'll do the same

~zzen Jan 9, 2010 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I removed all the clubs which not exist, or which I don´t want to follow, and with the groups I am in, I only will receive news and journals - I turned of watching group deviations. It might help

~icarosteel Jan 9, 2010

yeah, I can understand, everyday I have a lot of deviations from clubs

*Wellferine Jan 9, 2010 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Tak vies, prezentovat sa chce kazdy, aj ked jeho veci zase nemusia mat nejak prevratnu uroven, clovek si moze mysliet napriklad aj opak. Co sa stava casto. nanestastie v tych skupinach to funguje tak ze zverejnia vazne vsetko, pretoze vetsinou su aj zamerane na prezentaciu ludi s danou tematikou. tebe sa to moze zdat slabe , ale oni su radi ze ich vidno. vsetky sposoby treba skusit. co poznam osobne z vlastnych skusenosti. snazim sa prezentovat ako len mozem, aj ked moje prace nie su prave vykvetom umenia a ani nie som v ziadnej umeleckej spoloncosti, skupine ci nieco podobne. zase mala by tam fungovat ista sebareflexia, sebakritika (samozrejme zdrava), co sa bohuzial nestava a ludia precenuju svoje schopnosti. keby zase nejake separe fungovalo hned pri prihlaseni na dA tak by to mozno vyzeralo kvalitne, vsak na druhej strane pravo prezentovat sa ma kazdy.
Je to tazko no.
Ale tak vetsinou to vadi aj mne, este ze nie som vo vela skupinach

ale tak co preklikam sa a idem dalej...

~zzen Jan 9, 2010 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Well, uz som to nejako vyriesila

nechala som si len dve ine skupiny ako Slovakiu a vydrbla som si zo zoznamu zasielat nove deviacie

tak uvidim

a tych, co sledujem, tych sledujem

*Wellferine Jan 9, 2010 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

ved ja viem

len tak vies si sa pytala, nejaka som ukecana v poslednej dobe

~Seleenee Jan 8, 2010 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

to si môžeš nastaviť aby ti deviácie nechodili.. mňa to dosť znechucovalo, tak som to povypínala

ale kvalita je fakt nízka. smutné

~zzen Jan 9, 2010 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Uz som sa o to pokusila, ale aj tak som si nechala len tri kluby

uvidim, co z toho bude
