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

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

Legend--and the Hunger Games

by *mree, Mar 6, 2012, 2:58:26 PM
Journals / Personal

Hi guys! Sorry for my prolonged absence....I'm almost done recuperating from the (super-awesome) Breathless Reads tour, where I'm so lucky to have met a few of you in person. Thank you so much for coming out! I think there will be another tour this summer, although I'm not sure which cities yet--when I find out, I'll definitely post them up here.

Anyway, March is shaping up to be a very, very interesting month. For starters, I found out that Legend has a full-page ad (featured with Ally Condie's Matched) in People Magazine's The Hunger Games collector's issue, which is now out on stands! [link] Thank youuuu Penguin! If you pick up an issue of it, keep your eyes peeled for the Legend page.

Even more exciting news, though, is that if you're planning on seeing The Hunger Games in theaters, keep your eyes out for a Legend book trailer that will play before the movie starts. zomg. It's no secret that I loooooove The Hunger Games, so to see Legend on the screen right before the first movie is going to be......I'm going to try to sneak a flip cam into the theater to catch it on tape.

And finally, there is a very very VERY awesome piece of news that I can't quite share yet. But it's incredible, and it's something I hope I can announce in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned.

And thanks, as always, for all your very very kind support!

Now I'm off to play some Assassin's Creed. Seriously, I started this series relatively late but I'm now sooooo obsessed, it's not even funny. I love you, Ezio. I LOVE YOU SO BAD. (Currently playing Brotherhood--moving on to Revelations soon. And of course, I'm super excited about ACIII, even though I shall miss my dear Ezio. Maybe he'll make a couple of appearances here and there)

Noooo! I went to see Hunger Games at IMAX and no Legend book trailer! SAD DAY.

=DeathInTheReaper Mar 16, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Wow that's awesome to hear about the preview of the book before the Hunger Games movie. I might be seeing it so I'll keep my eyes peeled for it.

And I love Assassin's Creed too. I have to beat the first game still though...D:

~Froze8 Mar 14, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I am so glad I got to meet you on the Breathless Reads Tour, it was a dream of mine from when I was oh so little. I still cannot get over how amazing that was. I am still looking for when you will be on tour next! You know I'll make every effort to attend!

~vtas Mar 13, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

_{SO excited for you!!}

~kiyora-sano Mar 12, 2012 Student Writer

OHMYGAWD. I can't wait for the super exciting super secret news!!! hahaha. I hope you get to share it soon.

Also, HUNGER GAMES. For REAL. I want to go to the midnight showing, but my sister wants to go, too, and since she has school that Friday (I do, too, but she's in high school, so it actually matters), our parents won't let her. So unless I can sneak her out of the house, I'm going to wait to see it Friday night or something. Because I don't want to incur the wrath and unleash the fury of my 16-year-old blondie sister.

~DragonPrivate Mar 9, 2012 Student Writer

asdfghjkl; then I read the last paragraph after sending that comment O____O THAT'S AWESOME. I WILL GET TO THE HUNGER GAMES SUPER EARLY TO SEE IT

my friend is seeing the midnight premier, so lets see how happy she is to see it at 12:00 in the morning

~DragonPrivate Mar 9, 2012 Student Writer

My friend bought the Hunger Games magazine and then she ran screaming to me in Journalism and flipped to the page and was all 'LOOOOOOOK LEGEEEEEND IS IN THIS AJDKLAJDAKLDJALKD' and then we squeed for half an hour XD

=Penultimate-21 Mar 7, 2012 Student

Glad you're back!! <3

I just finished reading Legend about a week ago and I absolutely LOVED it. One of the best books I've read in a while. _{_{And I'm currently working on a picture of Junnneeeee.}} I can't wait to see that trailer!

*mree Mar 9, 2012 Professional Writer

omg!! I can't wait to see your pic!

~diane-butler Mar 7, 2012

Wow, that's awesome! Very exciting life you're living right now.

Also, try not to be too disappointed with Revelations. If you're like me, you'll find it incredibly brief and uninteresting, compared to the rest. Ever since Ubi started focusing on the multiplayer, the story part of the games has really suffered. I'm hoping that AC 3 will restore my faith in the series.
