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

What I personally find the hardest to draw is feet and hands. I found that with a lot of practice and a lot of frustrating mistakes my feet and hands actually look at the very least almost the way i want them to be.
Now my favorite Style of drawing is Anime or sometimes semi-realism, and i find that by doing studies of the more traditional style realism actually helps improve my anime pictures greatly. For instance i would practice drawing my hands and feet in different positions holding different things and from different angles. I also find it extremely helpful while i'm drawing and i'm having a particularly hard time drawing a hand or a foot in a certain position i will stop for a

I'm still alive!

Journal Entry: Thu Jan 3, 2013, 9:36 AM

I realize that I've been terribly inactive, but it really can't be helped!

For the last two weeks of December, Christmas Town was open every single day! We got a one day break for Christmas, but that's it. We had 5 (25 minute) shows a day, which is very strenuous on the body when you're a muppet!

Also, on December 21 (I think), my dad was taken to the hospital. Nowadays it feels relatively normal considering his age. What became worrisome is that he was rushed to ICU on Christmas night after going into cardiac arrest. He is still in ICU and slowly getting better. I have to admit, since he has so many medical issues, I find it hard to say how he is really doing. I didn't go to work from the 26-28 in order to stay at the hospital. Let me tell you, sleeping in a hospital waiting room for 2-3 nights is not the most comfortable. The other families in ICU are amazing though. There is so much support in that waiting room, it's incredible. I returned to work for the last three days of Christmas Town with much love from my Sesame family.

Now Christmas Town is over and Busch is out of season, meaning I have no job! I may need to get something temporary, considering I have to pay 100$ worth of student loans every month, along with car insurance and my phone... I really do hate money.

I am so impatient and scared for the casting call from Busch for next year. My body simply cannot take another season of Sesame. I want to continue performing and being a muppet is not going to keep my body in the best condition for that. If they offer me Sesame, I'll regrettably have to turn it down.. All I can do is hope they liked my audition enough to get hired as a full performer there.

In other news, I WILL be attending Katsucon. I have wonderful friends helping me out financially so I can attend. I don't know what I will be wearing, but I will be there.

I'm hoping 2013 will be good to me, as 2012 was a rough year.

I suppose I'm doing alright, money is going to be very stressing while I don't have a job. I hate having these student loans while trying to save for a car... I'll pull through somehow.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about your dad, and I truly hope he makes a full recovery. You don't have to be sorry for inactivity! People get busy and some things have to be put on the back burner until you can get time to deal with them.

I've only seen you perform once, via YouTube video, but I liked it, and I hope you get to perform more! I personally love performing...I don't get to do it anymore...

It's good to see you're still alive and kicking.

*Ginger-Hero Jan 4, 2013

Cosplay has been slowly been pushed back in my life. I've been so busy with work and such. And when I do cosplay, I've found that it's no longer anime or manga related. I'm doing more Disney/Movies/TV.

And thank you! Waiting for the casting phone call is nerve-wrecking!

~enigma-rain Jan 4, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I really don't mind what you do, as long as it's what you enjoy doing. I do miss your costumes and your shoots around here, but I'm not so selfish that I think you should do something because I like it.

So yeah, do what you want, as long as your happy, no one has the right to complain.

AND I HATE waiting on calls! I try to distract myself, and it never works...

*Ginger-Hero Jan 5, 2013

I'm very distracted for the most part with everything going on. I'm very worried about the casting though. If it's Sesame, then it's bye-bye to Busch, and I really don't want to NOT work there.

~enigma-rain Jan 6, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

It's rare that we find a place that feels like such a part of us. It's even more rare that we find an employer that feels like such a part of us. It sucks that you might leave, but your health is important...and I hear Sesame is REALLY rough.

*Ginger-Hero Jan 7, 2013

The condition I keep my body is is really important, especially considering that I want to be a performer as my career. I can't afford to destroy it at 19.

~enigma-rain Jan 7, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Yeah, don't be like me. Martial arts, too many fights to count, a crap load of stupid attempts at free running...I'm in my twenties and feel like I'm in my forties...

Good luck on getting the role you want. If they don't give it to you...they are dumb and I don't like them!

*Ginger-Hero Jan 7, 2013

They've already started calling people as of today, so now I'm crazy nervous!!
