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?)

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=

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

Hi there!

In case anybody was interested, I am doing a print giveaway on tumblr. <:
[link]
(Sound warning.)

If you would like them in the mail, just like/ reblog the post once each.

I will close the draw at 8:00pm EST Sunday, August 5th, and pick a winner. C:

Thanks for reading!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just a heads-up in regards to any possible confusion; I've changed my username from "deathofrats" to koyamori.

It's quite a strange feeling to have a new username after so long, but I think it is a good opportunity to veer away from a fan-inspired handle. (Death of rats being a little character from Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. Regardless, I still love the books very very much.)

A friend helped with brainstorming the new username, which means "little gecko". :')
So greetings from the new name~! C:

I would scream, drop and roll on the ground out of pure happiness if I found your print in my mail.

~arcus-puera Aug 1, 2012 General Artist

I'm not allowed to have a tumblr yet...I want one of your prints. X'CCCC

~DemoDA Jul 8, 2012

You're the only user I remember the name of and suddenly you change to koyamori!

But that's ok, because my memory is good when it finds something worth remembering

~SailingBreezes Jun 11, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

It suits you!

~lainchan Jun 5, 2012 Professional Filmographer

I saw one of your artworks on the front page yesterday, saw the strange username and thought "This persons totally ripping of deathofrats style!"

Now I understand why XD

*tysonius Jun 4, 2012

I thought there was something weird about the new name....assumed someone had stolen your account and put their username on it. O_o Really liked the old name, very distinctive and hard to forget.

~noisybubbles Jun 1, 2012

Geckos are awesome...we get them in a backyard a fair bit in warmer weather

I'm seeing a fair few of the people I watch change their names...I guess it's good to be able to change your name as you too change as an artist. If deathofrats doesn't fit you anymore, then, well, LONG LIVE KOYAMORI!

~lucianovontedizstein May 29, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

you'll be deathofrats for me for quite some time.
it's great people can change their name now, but goddamn everybody in my subscriptions did it in such a short timespan.
I feel like i'm having an Alzheimers attack everytime i log in now.

~elphieofkiamoko May 26, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

xD;; Thanks for the heads up. That was a little trippy.

=rioIu May 26, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Beautiful new username! I don't think the deathofrats one fitted you - you don't draw anything really relating to death, as the name might've implied. The new one also makes you appear more approachable. The meaning is cute, too!
