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?)

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

Some not to great news

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 30, 2011, 2:43 AM

Mood: Tearful
Drinking: coke

So, after coming off of my last journal. I found out that my mother is going to have our cat taken in to be put down in the next few days.

I love my cat so much. We've had him for a little over a decade, around 11-12 yrs and he was about 6 yrs old when we first got him. He is the most lovable cat you could have asked for, almost never used his claws and was friendly with everyone who walked into the house. I love how he would purr and let you pick him up so that we could curl up on the couch while I did some work or watched a movie. I remember when I was editing my photos from Montreal this past summer, he jumped up on my desk next to my mouse and just sat there with me while I edited, every so often nudging my hand for to pet him. I have a lot of good memories of my cat.

Unfortunately, as some of my friends know, Brillo (my cat) has been experiencing some pain recently, he then lost his appetite and has had severe muscle atrophy. He has also lost most of the use in his hind legs and can't jump up on the couch anymore, or even go up the stairs. It's even hard to pet him because his legs with give and his legs will slide out.

At this point, he is probably around 17 yrs old and we all feel he has had a good long life. He has been meowing almost constantly and has been trying to get outside at every chance he gets, which is odd at this time of year because he'll stay inside in the colder months. We think he's trying to run off to die alone. So we figured it'd be better to take him in and have it done. As sad as I am that he'll be going while I'm away at college, I know it's for the best.

I will miss you Brillo. I love you so much.

Aww I just read this now </3
We had to put down my dog Sandi that I'd had since I was six a few months ago, I know how shitty it is. It's crazy how attached you can become to a pet eh? Especially one that's been there as long as you can remember.. I still open the door expecting her to come meet me when I walk in, or expect her to be my buddy during storms (which we're both terrified of!) or to just be there when I'm lonely.
It sucks, and we put it off for a long time but she is definitely in a better place now (as is your Mr. Kitty)
My heart goes out to you my dear ♥

=LiquidCocaine-Photos Dec 8, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

Thanks so much for the support, hun. I'm so sorry to hear about Sandi. We had a cat before this one, as well as a hamster. But this is first time we've had to put one of them to sleep because our first cat ran away and our hamster died in his sleep. It was hard to see Brillo getting sicker and sicker, and we knew it had to be done.
Thanks again. I appreciate it.

!Rose-Whip Dec 2, 2011 Hobbyist Filmographer

He's such a gorgeous cat. He had a happy life and that's all an animal can ask for. It's hard to lose a pet because they become such a big part of the family. I wish you well.

=LiquidCocaine-Photos Dec 3, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

Thanks for the support.

~nikichi Dec 2, 2011

I'm really sad to hear that Karen, it seriously broke my heart reading this : ( Even though I never got a chance to meet Brillo, he seems like such a sweetheart. It must be so incredibly hard for you right now T_T ;;

=LiquidCocaine-Photos Dec 2, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

Thanks hun. I miss him terribly. He was the best cat anyone could ever ask for. I had wished you and the others could have met him. I'm sure he would have loved you guys.

~LOTRfan99 Nov 30, 2011

I'm so sorry! I't always hard when a beloved pet goes. Lots of hugs and good wishes to you!

=LiquidCocaine-Photos Dec 1, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

Thanks.

~DeesDilemma Nov 30, 2011 Student Filmographer

I'm sorry to hear Karen. So many hugs to you. The same thing was going to happen to one of my kittys last year, what killed me was that I couldn't be there. If you can take a day off and go home.

=LiquidCocaine-Photos Nov 30, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

thanks hun. Unfortunately, I can't leave. Too many projects and it's so far to go home without a car. Plus, I was just home for a visit on the weekend, which my mother has to come and get me to do. I wouldn't want her to spend over 2 hrs to get me so I can grieve their. I've come to terms with it. As sad as I am, it's okay.
Thanks again for the support.
