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

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

Halloween has always been my favourite occasion to celebrate, it's always full of fun and free candy (even if the candy stopped flowing free years ago)
I've tried my best to do Halloween images every year since I enjoy it so much!

etc etc etc

This year I want to do something with the new Ty-demon in all of her demonic-ness making it epic and nicely themed.
I want to have it be gruesome, with a SH feel to it.
I don't want to use the traditional Halloween symbols in it.

[link]
The sad part is that my mind is not flowing well with any good ideas for what I should draw.

Some input/suggestions would be lifesaving! <3

INPUT:
Something you haven't done yet is ghosts. Maybe you could have a transparent ghost dragon with a full/harvest moon. Instead of the usual orange and black maybe you could go for a color scheme more white/blue and black. Maybe capture the aspect of halloween that no one sees, the point at which no one is trick-or-treating anymore, after the madness, when it is late and the spiritual nature of the holiday begins to take hold. Maybe show that halloween is a spiritual day for avians as well as humans.
Yep, thats about all I got...

!StormyHotWolf88 Oct 21, 2010 Professional Filmographer

that's cool

!OMEGAdane Oct 22, 2010

Really?

Like your avatar. I was just watching Dances With Wolves.

!StormyHotWolf88 Oct 24, 2010 Professional Filmographer

lol thank you. I never saw the movie. Hell, as a werewolf fan who extensively researched the myths in her library in middle school, I haven't seen too many wolf movies lol.. kinda sad lol...

!OMEGAdane Oct 24, 2010

Have you seen the new Wolfman? Its pretty wolfy, even if its not the best movie ever.

!StormyHotWolf88 Oct 25, 2010 Professional Filmographer

Nah I haven't. I haven't heard much, for or against it. I wonder if this is the werewolf movie that they had a forum called 'the Pack' for hardcore werewolf fans to have input what werewolves were suppose to be like. Lets see.. The ones I did see was Hellsing, the two Underworlds and the Howling. I think I saw also a movie about WerePanthers too. For years I wanted to see Ginger Snaps 1 and 2 which is like a tween horror I think that's more gory then say Twilight. And I still haven't seen Werewolves in London or the original Wolfman. I did see this one though where the female werewolf doesn't shift til the very end (and of course she's a beautiful white wolf) and they were the type that only went to wolf, no inbetween. Kinda annoying, my mother is squeamish of monster movies. You can't even mention names of monsters around her.

Books though are numerous. German Folk lore, a compilation book of all type of medieval werewolf scriptures and poems, Werewolf the Apocalypse with some of their novels, Confessions of a Werewolf supermodel (Author died shortly after it was written), Alpha and Omega (not the retarded movie that came out) and some others. You know I ate Harry Potter 3 up lol.. Very much into the horror, mystery, surreal, fantasy genres. Though I know silver allergic reactions was fabricated by the first WolfMan movie and is not in the original mythology. Twas meant to give something pretty unstoppable a weakness other then wolfsbane which gives only a dislike I think? It's been years I read the Poem of how a man can turn into a werewolf besides a bite. It might be about the Wolfsbane.

!OMEGAdane Oct 25, 2010

WOW, you know your stuff! I haven't seen the proper werewolf in cinema yet. Van Helsing's were too big, Harry Potter's didn't have enough fur, both and the old and new wolfmen looked like angry elf-monkeys. I haven't seen Underworld yet (yes, the humiliation burns...) so I don't know what the deal is there. I admit that the all the designs have their merits, but I like HP's and Van Helsing's the best. So... my theory of the werewolf ideal is something between Van Helsing and Harry Potter.

!StormyHotWolf88 Oct 26, 2010 Professional Filmographer

The werewolves in Underworld at first aren't very werewolf recognizable. You can tell how low the budget was then. Actually, Underworld had a lawsuit against White Wolf because WW felt Underworld used their own scriptures for their creatures. Seriously, WW I found has a stick up their ass when it comes to bringing their stuff to movie media. It's probably why it's not as popular as DnD ya know? They suppress their fans a bit. What I don't like about Underworlds second movie was how fragile they made their wolves. There is a whole army of werewolves storming a castle; Most bad-ass scene I've ever seen with wolves and the vampires are just slicing right through them in half. Sure you could slice through a werewolf with enough force, but one of it's scary features is how fast it can regenerate. I don't think I was seeing much of that.
Harry Potter's was scrawny. I was surprised that they changed it from the book though too. The werewolf was suppose to be a full dire wolf kinda form on all fours, not biped-digigrade. Another problem I faced was the lack of explanation of the relationship of Harry's father and his friends until they were shouting at each other incoherently that you couldn't understand anything!
Van Helsing was smexy. Like I hated the first werewolf that appeared but Van helsing himself was a wonderful design.I also liked the sheading of fur but and I think they actually used the mythos of breaking out of human skin to reveal new skin and fur. Pretty hellish to witness lol... course problem with that version is how slow it makes transformation. Not cool when you're in a pinch lol..Plus they actually had tails.
I know the old poems said the wolves didn't have tails or other classic signs such as pointed human ears and middle and ring fingers being the same size, but tails are just so essential for balance and communication. Though I totally agree, between the two.

If you want to make it like SH,
you could probably add a misty background, with old and dirty buildings, maybe an alley.
I'm also thinking about blood splattered on the walls and floor and... maybe the remains of a recently dead monster?
I hope it helps!
