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?)

800 Points GiveawayHello all. As I've mentioned in the poll, I am going to make a small giveaway on the occasion of nearly 1000 watchers! Wooo!

RULES:

To enter, fave this journal and comment below that you've faved it. Then I will give you a number.

You don't need to watch me to enter. But please keep in mind that the giveaway ends sooner when
there are more watchers.

Your account must be at least 2 months old.

You can enter once only. No alternate/plz accounts.
I will choose winners with random.org.

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.

^{"Upon wings of tomorrow, leave behind today; yesterday a dream.
Reach the rock and sing of wind, water, and rain.
Watcher of the woven who bares still the scars,
but bares them not for bearing for they are not what we are."
This poem is an original and may not be reused without my permission.

From my soul to yours, I sing.

...having a really bad case of the "missing Mala"s this morning...so...between the crying, have some of our memories from over a decade of love undefinable in this world...

I was the ONLY one she would let lay on her and hug her and...I shared the most magical moment of my life with her...a fluke occurrence cast the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) strong enough to be seen from Indiana...her and I sat on a grassy hill just watching it...the only time in my life to have seen them in person...and I couldn't imagine having shared those moments with anyone else...

I miss you so much...so very, very much...I'm just so...so...heartbroken without you...I think I know how twin siblings feel; that "other connection" they are so mysterious and famous for...so very much of me is gone without her...I feel her in many things...all things...and it hurts so much...

Sorry for the photo spam...and if you're getting tired of hearing about Mala, then I'm sorry too...but it's all I've got...I have no family to call, no friends to come over and go through pictures with...she was everything...I don't know how else to say it...I live...but my very heart has moved on; passed away from this world...I hope we met again...until then...there just simply is nothing to relieve this ache...

Awww. It looks like she was very dedicated to you and quite a cuddle puppy too.
Sorry for your loss.

*The-Tempest-Star Apr 25, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I was the only one she would let cuddle her. She was my world.
Thank you.

~Emeowrald Apr 27, 2012

Awww. You're welcome.

The pictures are beautiful.
I'm here for you, Reka. Always.

Anybody who is insensitive enough to think you're spending too much time mourning can go fuck themselves with something hard and sandpapery. Never apologize for mourning a piece of you gone, anybody truly worth your time will understand.

As for the pictures, I see two beings, but only one large, warm soul. Bonds that strong can't be broken by earthly limits. I know that when you're reading this, Mala is right by your side, just as she is wherever you go. Just close your eyes and focus on her warmth, you'll find it, I promise. :]

*The-Tempest-Star Apr 25, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Thank you hun...indeed; two bodies, one soul and it's been so hard finding my footing again with such a massive part of me missing...I am only just now getting around to replying to the comments left on the journals about her death and ones such as this...I will be doing alright but something happens that reminds me of her, or I see these pictures, and it feels so sharp, so fresh; a tingling numbness that never fails to bring tears. Knowing your here though and that your understand so deeply means a lot to me, and I hope to be able to do something for you to at least let you know how much I appreciate your words. There have been a few times when I could have sworn I heard her; one of the noises she would make that were unique to her like a huff or howl-word or even a sneeze...when that happens, I like to think it -is- her letting me know she is still my shadow and always will be.
Thank you hun, for everything.

!straw-hat-luffette Apr 25, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I would say beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is indeed her breaking through the barriers between life and death to let you know she's still there-- because she just loves you that damned much, hun. She doesn't want to see you in pain and her strength to continue to show you that she's not gone at all in spirit is breathtaking to say the least. What a beautiful soul you have been blessed with, hun, she doesn't leave your side for a single moment of the day, I'm sure of it.

*NightTracker Apr 1, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

Id give anything to have half as many pictures of me WITH my dogs, other than just be the photographer. Unfortunately I dont live with anyone who thinks to capture such memories. The rare few I have of me with my past pets have been taken by my parents. Their all very beautiful and you two really had something. She was a beautiful and very happy pooch. Since Mala passed ive been thinking a lot of my Meadowlark. Meadow was close to me like your Mala was to you. Ill never have another one like her, either, just like no other dog will match Mala. Keep those memories strong, without memories, we are nothing.

*The-Tempest-Star Apr 25, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I have a few videos of her as well, and I treasure them when I am strong enough to look at them...Mala and I just had that kind of bond where even my husband would grab a camera to sneak some pictures of us cuddling or even just laying together or sitting watching TV or something out a window...and I am so thankful for them...I have literally hundreds of pictures of Mala from shortly after we first brought her into our lives all the way to a day or so before her death and I couldn't imagine not having them. I wish you had something like it...I really do. Love you hun.
