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:points: .
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. :la:
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. :D

News articles

So DA has a fairly extensive News network where you can submit your own articles and people can read them. When I check them, I mostly read the thumbshares and recommendations of artwork. I also have been fortunate enough to have been featured through this system a few times!

I wanted to know if you guys write and submit articles? Read them? I think that this is a very useful tool which is underrated and overlooked by many on this site. I'm just curious as to what people think of this feature!

I haven't been checking them nearly as much as I should. =kuzuSkot recommended using it to post in regards to my own contests though, so I'm probably going to start using it for that more often. :ninjaplot:

I check them every now and then, when anything of interest shows up in the "Most popular" section next to the DD's in the footer on the front page/message center. And once I've read the one that caught my interest, I usually browse around for a bit. I'm more interested in actual news/information/community dev.&news, not so much the art feature posts

I've written a few lately, mostly to promote various (non-dA) competitions that are open to European artists, since a lot of people get upset when the (official) dA contests are often only open to US residents. Most people seem to not read news however, so I'm not overly excited about it. But at least I tried! :shrug:

yeah thats really good of you to be so involved! I also think its lame that the contests are american-only, but that does also make sense...

~MiSmAtChEd Sep 27, 2009
I think it's mainly legal issues, and that it's not necessarily dA who's to blame but the sponsor companies they team up with to hold those contests.

On the other hand I'm quite fed up with people/companies in general with a large presence online who still haven't realized that there are no national borders online. If you're on the Internet, anyone can find your website or your blog, from anywhere in the world - that's part of the beauty of it! Especially in a place like this, that should be promoting creativity and community above all, it's quite sad when a large part of the community is locked out of certain site events because of their place of residence. So yeah. :/

Yeah I agree, but I also agree that its almost always just the laws behind the contest and no one involved probably has much to say about who can enter as a result.... too bad!

I don't write them, I don't have anything I feel I could really contribute news wise. I do check them on occasion, I've found a lot of lovely artwork through them and some interesting reads on certain topics.

Seems like you use the feature well :) If I had more time I may also be writing some, but for now I don't write any either!

That would be awesome if you did :) What sort of things would you write about, if you were going to?
