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

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

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

FAQ building: Ask me anything

Sun Jun 20, 2010, 9:38 AM

There was at least a few people interested in a Q&A session with me, so I've decided to hold one, more or less. It'll work like this:

Since I know some questions will be repeated, you'll post the questions here, and I'll build a FAQ from them (if there's enough questions), so I won't reply right away (to the question at least. I may reply the message) I'll compile the questions and reply them properly to later post them in the FAQ.

By the way, the ide for this is mainly to cover art-related questions, so it'd be good to center on that subject. I don't think anyone is interested on my personal life, unless you're some kind of weird psycho, or a friend (in which case I'd reply to you privately)
In any case that doesn't means you cannot add other type of questions if you want, as long as you follow the rules below (I don't mind fandom questions, like KHR or Suikoden stuff, but I don't think I can say anything relevant XD)

So, start leaving questions for me here. I'll set-up some rules though:

No personal questions (like age, adress, etc...)

Be polite. Any rudeness will be tagged as spam.

Try to type properly, please. I'm not a native english speaker, so I alredy have it hard sometimes with english in it's proper form =_=

Be coherent. Silly questions will be ignored, or tagged as spam if they go too far.

If you're not a native english speaker (like me), don't worry. Just write the question your best.

I accept questions related to my OCs and stories, in the rare case someone cares.

Well, you should get the idea alredy.

*yuroran Jun 26, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

Yo solo tengo dos preguntas:

1. De dónde sacas tiempo para dibujar TANTO? OTL

No, enserio, estudias algo que te permita dedicarte a ello, o solo te planificas durante el día para hacer un poco cada vez?

2. Usas algún tipo de sketchbook o cuaderno? o solo hojas sueltas? (creo que se relaciona con la de arriba, ya que tiendes a postear muchos bosquejos además de piezas completas y páginas de manga).

Eso es lo que más me intriga y a la vez admiro de ti.

OTL Sorry si son preguntas extrañas.

~fake-and-pure Jun 23, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

hope i'm not repeating others' question...

1. how do you pick colors for your drawings?
2. is there any specific type of character you think you can draw best, and worst? What and why?
3. What will you do if you suffer an artblock?
4. Is there any specific pose/coloring/drawing/concept style of yours that you want to change (maybe since you think you've stuck in that style for too long)? What and why?
5. Is there any coloring/drawing style you want to use/try, but still haven't managed to do it yet? What and why?
6. What is your inspiration in drawing?

uhm, sorry for my superlong question

~ChibiFroggy Jun 23, 2010

You use Sai if i'm not mistaken ?
According to you, what are the advantages of drawing with Sai instead of Photoshop / Open Canvas / or any other software i can't thing of ?

~Superrose1 Jun 23, 2010

ok i hope im not repeating anyone ^^" but...

Was there ever a time in your life that your art helped you through....

Have you ever dreamt about a story that happens between your OC's and then you write down your ideas or do you plan or simply come up with the ideas for your comics out of thin air?

*Purplefire40 Jun 22, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

I know this was asked already, but what inspires you to do art?

And what is your best cure for art block?

~Piece5113 Jun 21, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

I've always been wondering about your colour scheme, how you can put opposite colours together and make it look so natural

So my question is, when you plan on something to work on, how do you choose the colours?
(er for me I have a certain image in my head that I want to paint. Is that for you as well?)

~ForAnotherMe Jun 21, 2010

uhm....How did you learn to draw? By yourself or Classes?

~Oranaus Jun 20, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

I have some questions to ask..><

1.How long have you started drawing?
2.Is manga popular in Spain?
3.How much have you spent with manga and drawing in one week?

Thanks for building FAQ,I am looking forward to your answer!

~Celsa Jun 21, 2010 Student Digital Artist

I don't understand your 3rd question very well OTL Do you mean how much time I've been drawing manga style? And the one week part... I don't know what you mean T_T

~Oranaus Jun 23, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Ah..sorry,I made it not clear.orz

I mean How many hours you spend to draw stuffs in one week?
