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

Grroow friends! Sorry for no posting, long time no update in my gallery, I know. I was a bit depressed last days but it´s ok now: ) That was because of art, yep really. Cause when I look at my long todo list.... oh damn I can never finish all of these pictures! And I can´t cancel anything, this art just must be done . At least I´ve put off two commissions, what a relief! I am really glad that my commissioners are so patient. After all I am sure I won´t be accepting new ones till ummm 2009 or later or never? I hope not, at least keychains should be availlable. Which remind me of neverending problems with varnish for my keychains. I already have the right stuff, but it isn´t working still o.o Must try some new methods later!

It was hard to concentrate on art with such a bad mood but it doesn´t mean I wasn´t doing anything. Two pictures are from 50% done and today I´ll finish a dragon from beads for ~Dawgjr . That was a nice break from drawing : )

And about news from life. I am going to spend this weekend with my dear at my parents. I always look forward to see them : ) Aside from this, on Saturday will be a meeting of my schoolmates from primary school. I haven´t seen them for years, don´t know what to expect. But I hope some concrete peops won´t arrive *thinking about drastic revenge* lol.

Hehe that would be all, if I survive I´ll let you know : D

p.s. this art status thing is finally updated , yay, css complete!

My actual status: Commissions ~ closed
Art trades ~ closed
Requests ~ never

Art status and todo list

~ ACEO EXCHANGE
These little cards (2.5x3.5) are so much fun that I decided to collect them. I have only a few but I am planning to ask some of my favourite artists for exchange. I am a bit shy and afraid of their negative reaction but maybe they´ll agree! Click on the link above to know more about ACEOs/ATCs or if you wanna see also some finished cards!

Well,hope you really do feel better!! Sometimes it can be very overwhelming!! Just take youre time,and only look at one thing at a time that needs to be done!! Then it wont seem so bad,trust me,I get the same way!!You are a great artist,just take youre time!!Hope the school thing works out! I always make sure to miss mine,nobody liked me much at school!! I had far more enemies than friends!!Have fun,and hope to see you feeling better soon!!

=Dragarta Jun 23, 2008 Traditional Artist

It´s fine now! I had a great weekend so I feel good ^.-.^

That meeting was surprisingly ok too. Oh I am sorry for that... I dunno if someone didn´t like me but I know I didn´t like some of them

~DARGON1 Jun 24, 2008 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Nothing to be sorry for,I didnt like most of my school!!

Im glad youre feeling better,and that everything went well!!

*SilkenWinds Jun 19, 2008 Hobbyist Photographer

I'm so lucky to even have a commission from you

I can see how too much work can bring ya down, but hey, you're making good money, right?

Anyway, hang in there. I get depressed sometimes too....my life can be so plain, simple..and I can't always do what I'd like to do cause of money issues.

But thank goodness for wonderful friends to talk to you like you!

=Dragarta Jun 20, 2008 Traditional Artist

Umm I can´t remember the last time when I got money for commish (except of keychains from Czech people) o.o I didn´t draw too much commishes and if yes, it was for buying and sending some artistic stuff which I can´t buy here or just for free

Aaaaw you´re so kind

*SilkenWinds Jun 20, 2008 Hobbyist Photographer

You mean people are paying you for commissions?? That isn't right...

I hope you get more PAID commissions, artists need those!

=Dragarta Jun 23, 2008 Traditional Artist

Everything is fine: ) I don´t have any problems with commissioners (ok, only Zementh didn´t pay but that´s ok cause I didn´t finish his commish). I don´t need so much money since I have a job

Though still can´t think out reasonable prices lol... I´ve changed them some days ago, what do you think? [link]

*SilkenWinds Jun 23, 2008 Hobbyist Photographer

It looks about the same to me! LOL Though I remember paying less because you helped me out and gave me a break
But I'm still waiting on that second one! I know you are EXTREMELY tired of commissions right now but don't forget me! LOL

I'm glad you're doing well financially with your job, that's a good thing.

=Dragarta Jun 24, 2008 Traditional Artist

Yep I remember, I didn´t want to draw you a picture with soft pastels XD
Ok, I won´t forget! Do you know what exactly you want me to draw?

*SilkenWinds Jun 24, 2008 Hobbyist Photographer

Yes. I'll send you a note on it when I get my thoughts together
