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?)
Draw a

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

Journal Entry: Thu Nov 3, 2011, 9:20 AM

SHEESH

So this years' Contest was TOUGH I mean really hard to choose from because so many good entries rolled up in here last minute!

Ok so I will not stall, I will get right to the point!

I recommend that all of you watch the winners

This years Zone Art Contest winners areeeeeeeeeeeeeee

3rd Place
!soul-sh-chan

:thumb242840527:
I cannot tell you how much me and erica love this picture.The body language and the bright colors. The crystals are amazing as well. We felt this simply needed to win. I know I was floored the first time I saw it. The anatomy is amazing!

congrats soul-sh-chan!

You win a Colored Torso

2nd Place
~Daiyako

Simply charming and imaginative! Casino street was definitively a fan favorite, probably for his decorative pants! This one was a personal favorite of Erica. The background is lovely and it creates such a charming atmosphere! Not only that, the coloring of the hair and clothing is well done!

Congrats Daiyako!

you win a Colored Torso+ 1 month sub

1st Place
~KezART

This one really resonated with me, There is so much in this picture that makes me wonder. Both of them are quartz quadrant zone but different versions, the bad future perhaps warning the past not to become her. The premise alone captured me. Also the body language and anatomy-I'M ENVIOUS! The shading is also amazing. It is very engaging picture.

Congrats Kezart!

You win a Colored torso+ 3 month sub

and now the grand prize winnerrrr is

Grand Prize

*PhuiJL

Two words.

SIMPLY AMAZING.

I was literally blown away by this piece!
Elegant and charming. I can't say enough how much I adore the soft pastel colors. The atmosphere is so dreamy-It reminds me of a story book almost. The style itself is so unique and inspiring and the child like proportions really adds that extra adorableness to this piece. This really made the piece stand out from the rest. I love the textures and LIGHT SOURCES. So many different colors and shades. It really inspires me to play more with light.

Excellent job!

Congrats PhuiJl!

You win Colored Fullbody+ Pixel Chibi+ 6 month sub

Honorable Mention:

<- This is amazing and adorable. the anatomy and the general atmosphere is very lively and fun. Not to mention _{omg look at the table}

Thanks to everyone who entered for your interest!

I hope you all enjoyed yourselves because I know I enjoyed looking at all of these pictures.
