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

Thank you!! (about the poll)

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 3, 2012, 9:27 PM

Mood: Zest

Hi, everyone! I really appreciate your honest and insightful comments under the latest poll. I know that the question lacked explanation, but I didn't want my poll question flooded with such length of my life story XD. It'd look ugly.
I really enjoyed reading throught the comments. I didn't mean to get only compliments, praises, or encouragements from the question. So, I'm not hurt or anything from your comments if anyone's caring.

I mean, I am not getting into the game making industry. Sure thing that i am interested in experiencing new things and challenging myself, but it's not the case atm.
I recently got a job and what I do is to illustrate for the game-related articles and columns. (It's an oline webzine company, and I will inform the details later

). I just wondered that if the readers would like my art style illustrations or go like ewwwww-I-hate-that-art-style. Hahaha~
For instance, the very first article I am working on is about the games including modern warfare, skyrim, and assassin's creed. Aren't they the most loved games so far? As an illustrator I am allowed to draw any characters and scenes whatever I want to draw. However, because it is my first endeavour to be judged, I am nervous a little.

So, that's it! I will update how I am working, what interesting articles, news, debates are on the spot, and whatnot. In the dA journal or tumblr. I am not a gamer myself, so I will need your help from now on.

! Please please, pity on me if you see I am fumbling afterwards.

Thank you guys once again! I love you!

~Hope-wish Feb 17, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

as long your already being employed doesn't that mean that the company had accepted and liked you're art style?

Don't worry to much dear

You have your own unique style and your creative enough to handle it^^

I'm envious tho since i don't have a certain skill to be an illustrator... But your art is original enough!! that's what this industry needed!! Go for it honey!!

And I'll be loved to help one about games when u'r lose in it somedays >.<

PS: skyyyyyriiiiiiiim amg!

~hakumo Feb 14, 2012

...you worry of things that you dont need to, it will work out great looking at how everyone is excited

~crossexe Feb 8, 2012

_{Girl you're at the level where you got so much skill you can do whatever you want

Definately looking forward to seeing your illustrations!}

~Hypogeum Feb 5, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Man, that must be super exciting!
Well, even if I personally don't think your style is suited to such games, it's still fantastic, so I'm sure readers will appreciate the pleasing eye candy.

~FalyneVarger Feb 4, 2012 Professional General Artist

Since you're not a gamer I'm sure you won't know about PSM (Playstation magazine), but before they became all about advertising, they used to commission well known comic artists to do various illustrations for their covers and as side pieces to the articles.
Comic art is great, but you won't see that style used a lot in games, not even nowadays. But it didn't matter. The art was still awesome and it was fantastic to see some of my favorite artists doing art to go along with some of my favorite games. I kept those issues just so I could flip through the pages again, just to admire the art whenever I feel like it.
I'd say the same would go for your art. It doesn't have to fit perfectly into the gaming genre for fans to enjoy it.

~nikorinh Feb 4, 2012

No one will ever hate your art, Yooani. That's... unthinkable. You're a great artist so have more confidence!! It'll be quite interesting to see how you'll handle these games illustrations : DDD!! I'm sure you'll do very well and I hope this opportunity will open more paths to you ; u ;. COngratulations again!

*PheiChi Feb 4, 2012

*pokes* You're so cute ;vvv;

~DyMaraway Feb 4, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

: D nice job, I'll expect previews of course hahahaha, i'm not a gamer gamer but kinda like a gamer wannabe -if i had more money maybe I'll spend more in games XD so i only play psp games-
: D good luck!

*fallowfrenzy Feb 4, 2012 Student General Artist

That sounds like a great job. You'll be fine. ^^

~xCezaryx Feb 4, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

modern warfare, skyrim, and assassin's creed o_O those would look good with a rough, heavy, maybe a tad dirty art style. quite the opposite of your work xD;... i wonder how you'll solve this
