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

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

No Return of the Ring, Loughborough 2012

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 27, 2012, 12:06 PM
Updates


Edit June 7

I won't be at the Tolkien event in Loughborough after all.

It's the days before term starts, and I have to be at my school.

Sorry if I got up any hopes besides mine.

Forgive me if I don't reply to comments at the moment. Life isn't very kind to me just now.
If you have a prayer to spare, incidentally, please send it along to *Uneide. She's having her massive cancer operation today.


OLD POST

I have the pleasure (read: I'm jumping up and down with glee) to inform you that I'll be at this years Return of the Ring event in Loughborough, England, from 16th to 20th of August, 2012, alongside such illustrious people as Ted Nasmith, Anke Eissmann, Tom Shippey, and a whole bunch of other people whose names might mean something to you if you're into Tolkien.

[link]

Needless to say, I'm deliriously happy to be part of the event. I'll be part of the art show, I'll have a table where you can chat with me, get a sketch (maybe two if it's Maedhros you want), and very probably buy art prints and cards with my Tolkien art. This is the absolutely greatest thing that has ever happened to me, art wise. What a fitting way to celebrate twenty years of Silmarillion fan-ship! :boogie:

Features!

Sorry to hear you'll likely not be able to go; it sounds like a good gathering and place to showcase your work.

Hope things pick up and life starts treating you properly soon, and that your friend came through her operation well.
*hugs*

I think you should go to the event no matter what. Being there alongside great artists > doing the usual job. IMO, though.

That would probably mean I'd lose my job though. Not sure if that's worth it.

No, I can't miss the oral exams. But I can actually miss the written ones, I've just been told, so there may be a chance yet that I hadn't seen before.
