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

Cat 5 Cyclone, Feature, Stuff.

Tue Feb 1, 2011, 5:11 PM

A 3-in-1 journal; info on the category cyclone to hit Queensland (Australia) coast, a feature for the winners of

contest, and my first deployment to a large fire.

Cyclone Yasi

I know the floods reached international news, but I don't know if yous have heard that now, Queensland is about to get hit by a category 5 cyclone? I can't give you specifics, but if anyone wants to read more you can follow local Australian national news on Cyclone Yasi at the ABC News website: [link]
And from the Bureau of Meteorology, here's a map: [link] (let me know if the links don't work, they may change).
From what I'm hearing on the TV, QLD has never seen a cyclone of such magnitude.

Localised Fires

Yesterday I went to my first "big" fire. It was a grass fire, you might be able to see it here of this map: [link] (this map updates regularly, so it may not exist on this map in the near future). If you click a blue flame triangle between "Armidale", "Gunnedah" and "Tamworth" you will get a brief synopsis of the fire. There were at least a dozen fire trucks, and then there were the command vehicles, council water tankers, 2 aircraft water bombers and other vehicles. The fire affected a farming area, so we were doing property protection and attacking flames directly to stop it spreading. Thankfully, the wind wasn't very breezy (it was bad enough without it).

1001Critiques Contest Winners!

Now for some good news! (The fire counts as bad news).

#1001Critiques recently held their first contest, and I promised features for the winners while my sub lasted. The contest in a nut shell was to produce as many quality comments and critiques as one could in the time frame; the people with the most would win (the comments had to be quality, as mentioned, to count). So without futher adue, may I introduce the top 3 place holders:

~Strange-1

First Place Holder!

~2ndOfJune

Second Place Holder!

~evka8D

Third Place Holder!

Congratulations everyone!

That's too bad

You poor Aussies get so much trouble nowadays!

I admire your courage! I bet your adrenaline level went sky high during the intervention. I know I couldn't do what you're doing, I'm scared of fire and even cigarette smoke chokes me.

~saiyan-frost Feb 4, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Every nation has it's disasters, I guess it was our turn to cop the rough end of the pineapple. It sucks though that we had to have two in a row, in the same state (good lord!).

Thank you; it's my little way of helping society, though that isn't the only reason I became a volunteer.
I was with a good crew, I trusted them and I'd trained with them, so that made it much more easier for me - team effort really means and does alot in situations like that

. The adrenaline hit, but I must admit it wasn't as stimulating as I'd felt previously; I'd broken the ice with other incidents, so I think my body didn't feel the need to give me a dose until I got a bit of a scare. Smoke is something that no one will ever get used to (or at least that's what I was told when I asked if having a burning throat was normal

), and my eyes watered so bad I couldn't see for a while (just from the blurriness, not from going blind or something).

~ladymadcat Feb 4, 2011

Ouch! I hope it didn't last long! I imagine the smell of smoke lingered on in your nose even after the burning sensation was over.

~Strange-1 Feb 2, 2011 Professional General Artist

Thanks for the feature!

Good job dealing with the fire. I bet that's scary!

~saiyan-frost Feb 2, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

You're welcome; you did a great job with all those quality comments!

And thank you

. There were two brief hairy moments (not life threatening, just unexpected), but that was more due to my inexperience - the smoke can be very thick and over whelming. They can tell you all about it at training, but it's just one of those things I had to experience to fully comprehend.

~Strange-1 Feb 3, 2011 Professional General Artist

Thanks! I feel bad because I haven't left any in a while. I've just been so busy with school and my own artwork!

Yeah, I bet it was pretty crazy. I respect that you are putting your life on the line to help people!

~saiyan-frost Feb 4, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Don't feel bad; you're only human after all, and if anyone doesn't realise that you have a busy life they need a wake up call :shakefish:

. I'm sure though, that everyone who recieves your comments are always happy to get them

Though, I do think that it is indeed important for you to allow yourself time for your own artworks; only recently I started to give myself a time limit for DA so I could focus on my own stuff too. Time flies when I'm on the internet

I'm not sure I'd say my life was on the line, though it can be a hazardous occupation; so thanks all the same!

~Strange-1 Feb 4, 2011 Professional General Artist

Haha. Yeah, sometimes I have to remind people that I can't be online 24/7 (even though it often seems like I am! lol). I like to give people comments because I think it helps out. I know I like receiving comments, so I hope people can get the same feeling when I give them.

And I agree about spending time with your own art! It's very important. I should probably give myself a time limit, too. haha. You're right! It's crazy when I get on and then I look at the clock and realize it's been hours. D= hahaha

It definitely is hazardous, and it's brave of you to try to help people! ^_^

~MaKo85 Feb 1, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

I gotta admit I feel dreadful for Australia, floods, cyclones, fires. I mean good heavens, you guys need a serious break

~saiyan-frost Feb 2, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Opps, I correct myself; I think we're in La Nina
