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

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

I know I am a bit late but...YOU GUYS

Back! Critiques and Note Me!

Journal Entry: Sat Jun 26, 2010, 1:46 PM

That's right, I'm back! Got a laptop for about a week so I'm gonna be able to do the wallpaper packs for the pictures that I made last month. I wasn't able to save all the files, just the original versions, so now I'm making the wally packs. And now that I'm finally back I'll be busy again with so much! I was able to answer everyone's comments, but I didn't catch up on anything else yet... takes for ever! So I'll say thanks for all the llamas and all the watches! I wish I could thank everyone individually but I just don't have the time lol.

Note Me!
If you wish to talk to me more, feel free to note me! I'll reply notes faster than comments from now on! So go ahead and note me, whether it's important or totally random!

Request Critiques!
From now on I'll be taking in request for critiques! Ask me to critique your art! I'll do just about any, but they have to be related to space or sci-fi. So feel free to ask me to critique one of your art, for I love to give my input, especially for beginners like my friends did for me when I was beginner too.

Upcoming Art
These include the following that I'll be uploading soon.
_{Space Art: 8
-A planet with two suns, one in the distance and one off-screen that's really close
-A bright sun taken from a picture I took myself of the sun. Tricky!
-Green piece where the nebula is really soft
-Planet really close to a sun that you don't see but see the light beams from it
-Reddish-pink nebulae that looks like fire
-Request from a friend that's finished of a gas giant with a moon orbiting a red dwarf (lost

with broken hard drive...)
-Request from another friend finished with a moon and comets orbiting around it
-Soft scene with a deserted planet and its moon with a few comets}
Photography: Too much lol_{-Flowers
-Buildings
-Sports cars
-Downtown LA and freeway and also city life
-Black and White}

Thanks for Everything!
I wanna thank everyone on here for all the amazing stuff I get from you guys! Thanks for all the comments, replies, ideas, suggestions, critism, llamas, watches, feedback, notes and more! I really wish I could thank individually everyone, but there's just so much and so little time! Also thank you so much for everyone who gave me points and points for my group! I'll put the features up for the top donators in my next entry!

Thanks to Mt-y!
Thanks again to one of my best friends, Mt-y for giving me a three months sub! I really appreciate it! Here are some of his amazing works:

Doesn't getting notes give you the creeps!? I hate getting secret notes from people!

*AdrienCGD Jun 30, 2010

Nah it doesn't creep me out. Similar to e-mails, yet everyone uses e-mails. And this way you can talk more and people don't get mixed in with the conversation all the time lol

*gorgonbreath Jul 1, 2010 Hobbyist

It must just be me that gets weird creepy notes, i always dread them!

*AdrienCGD Jul 1, 2010

Oh, seriously? That's creepy lol

*gorgonbreath Jul 2, 2010 Hobbyist

Yeah, i don't know if i should say this in public view,but a strange(very strange) man i don't know at all sent me a note containing a picture of someone else's photoshopped penis and asked me what i'd do with it!!
I told him i'd beat small mammals to death with it.
There are some very odd people around!

*AdrienCGD Jul 2, 2010

Wow that's really disgusting... never happened to me before though...

*gorgonbreath Jul 2, 2010 Hobbyist

I should hope not!

He was just a sick freak and he had no sense of humour at all.

Yuck!

*AdrienCGD Jul 2, 2010

Haha I still don't see how he could laugh at what you said, he was probably offended! What an idiot XD
Ahaha that dog is hilarious!

~realityfaery Jun 28, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

woohoo glad you're back!!

*AdrienCGD Jun 28, 2010

Hehe me too! I've been working on PhotoShop too! Got some more stuff done!
