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.

IMPORTANT: Please be sure to state what you did

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

Advice and TutorialsSo this First Advice and Tutorial Journal will be on General Anatomy and Such. The second will be up to you so please comment below in what you think the next Advice and Tutorial Journal should be on.

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

which piece of artwork/jewelry did i make that brought you to my account?
what pieces of mine do you prefer?
i like everything i've made (or have at some point in time) and would be
happy to revisit some styles and mediums especially if one or five you added
me to your watch list for kinds of art i don't produce enough of (or at all these
days).
i would like to stay in touch with myself past and present and there is so
much stimuli in the world sometimes you just need to depend on others
to keep on track. i felt like those who have appreciated my work would be
the best group of people to ask.
thanks so much guys and have a great wednesday♥
xoxo,
julee

win the archmage potion vial!

october 9 you could be the winner of the Archmage Potion Vial

I first discovered you with your DD of the frailty cuff. and I was hooked. I actually own my favorite pieces: my cuff I commissioned AND the apothecary necklace which my dear boyfriend from new zealand gave me the first day we met.

~GloomyFenris Sep 28, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

The first time I came to your gallery I literally faved almost all of it, the only ones I didn't fave were the ones with same design but different materials so I just faved one of them instead.

I don't remember quite well but I believe it was this one that caught my eye [link]

I found your gallery while I was searching for different styles of jewerly.

I really like your jewerly because the pieces are always super detailed and I love the designs, many have that medieval-like feel. Plus, something very important to me is that your work has variety, I don't like when they make similar pieces all the time just changing a few details or making the same type of accesories.

Right now I'm only collecting pictures because I don't really handle Internet shopping but I hope I have the media to buy some in the future, particulary earrings since that's the kind of jewelry I like to use practically 24/7 I only take my earrings off when I take a bath and go to sleep lol I just love to use earrings.
However it seems you don't make the type of earrings I use so I might get a bracelet or a pendant instead.

~StarKaida Sep 28, 2011 Student Traditional Artist

The first piece I saw of your's was the apothecary necklace and decided to follow when I saw all the other necklaces you had made, the ones you included in the description. I really enjoy all of your pieces and prefer them all. I think you do wonderful work and are very creative

~ZootCatchy Sep 28, 2011

i think it was one of you latest submissions i saw on the main page here...
it's really hard to choose one of them, they're all so beautiful and unique!
maybe i would love to see more earrings, something with stones of blue/green/yellow/brown colours...
my favourite piece is this one - [link]
i wonder if you would want to use turquoise or pearl in your works?

*Girot Sep 28, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Oceanus Cuff was the first piece of yours I was lucky enough to stumble upon.

~anubis-pumpkinqueen Sep 28, 2011

I can't remember the first piece I saw, but I remember I fell in love with your work as soon as I saw your gallery

Keep up with the great job!

~TheCoolEncyclopedia Sep 28, 2011

Argh! I can't just pick one favorite, they're all so pretty!
I like it all, the "fancy" (your complex work - that's a compliment if you had doubts

) and the simple.
Though I have to say, there are some I can just look at and be all amazed and wowed (

) again and again.
For the complex work you've done, a wow-piece for me is the one you call "argent azure affinity pendant" - So pretty

In the simple end of your work I like: "Spellbound Coral", "green spell" and "Simply Precious"

I am not sure of how I was brought to your account, but I think I was watching a group and one of your pieces caught my eye. After looking at that piece (no idea what it was

) and your gallery, I knew I had to watch you - so many pretty things, I couldn't resist

Hope it brought some... well, whatever you're searching for

~SailorEarthTara Sep 28, 2011

I was attracted by your briony bracelet, then I checked out some other stuff in your gallery. Your stuff is all beautiful and it looks professional too. I like the necklaces you make best, but I also thought that body chain you made awhile ago was really cool too.

~a-l-y-s-s-a-u-r-u-s Sep 28, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

the first piece of yours that I saw was "The West Wing". As for my fav I would have to say the Mecha Butterfly pendant. It is so pretty <3

~Calura21 Sep 28, 2011

This was the first piece that I saw [link]
After that I fell in love with all your work. I love all the detail you put it, I could wear a piece of your jewelry everyday and not get tired of it
