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

R.I.P. ...=( // Weekly Features update

Journal Entry: Sun Oct 26, 2008, 2:19 PM

Ad Zone .|. My Portfolio .|. My Prints .|. Application Resources

Thanks so much for the 17k!

if you have some cool idea regarding the Collab, drop me a message and let's head over >> here!!

Hi everyone

I went on a cool trip yesterday to a truly amazing place, and I wanted to tell how it was (incl. pictures), but right now I'm damn pissed cuz after some days of artists block, I finally had an inspiration for a scene in Vue....but after spending half a day composing the scene, I couldn't finish it bcuz it crashed all the time

...again, many-many thanks to ~flightlevel-380 for his help

; we really tried our best to render the scene but it just didn't like neither my system, nor his

...so I'm too pissed to talk about the trip...later

But your work this week was more than awesome!!!

You can find my this week's best-of in this journal...check it!

Heyz..

Bad news, bad news.....I'm so sorry to say, but my beloved hamster, Apex Cordis Jr. has passed away yesterday

...yeah, I know he was "just a hamster", and I was kinda expecting this cuz he was very old (compared to hamsters) and less hyperactive, still it's so sad to see a little rodent dying

. Well, it's sure he's in a better place now. Let's hope he's having fun; he has a huge variety of hamster food, or he's smokin marijuana in the company of some dozens of hamster girls

...or he's watching what I'm typing from above, laughing his a$$ off and saying "what a good idea!!"

Whatever he's doing over there, may his soul rest in peace...

But I have good news too!! After sterilizing my deceased hamster's home, I decided to go to the mall and buy a new hamster

. And though they're in short supply lately, fortunately I found very cute Djungarian dwarf hamsters in the 1st shop I went in. after melting at the sight of those cute rodents, I noticed two very little dwarf hammies in the same terrarium. Two 6-week-old sibs, a little guy and a little girl. They were cuddling in a corner of the terrarium

...I never wanted to buy two hamsters, but I just couldn't separate them! Cuz it sux!! I thought it would be easier for them to get used to their new environment together, so I bought both of them

. Now they're here, still a bit shy, but they're getting used to their new home slowly...and they're together cuddling in their little house

And here come YOU!!

...I was thinking about a little contest

...though I have some ideas regarding their names, I still call them "little guy" and "little girl" lol, so I'm waiting for suggestions!! And I offer a prize for the best idea!!

...good luck!

Here they are; the little girl on the left, the little guy on the right

(sorry for the quality)

*KaanaMoonshadow Oct 27, 2008 Professional Digital Artist

Thanks a lot for the feature, dear - I'm glad you liked my little pumpkin witch.

And it sucks when your PC doesn't want to render your works - I'm so sorry to hear that!

~00AngelicDevil00 Oct 29, 2008

you're welcome

yeah and I really hope I can get that better config soon

`priteeboy Oct 26, 2008 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Vue does crash a lot...it only dosn't if you have a state of the art computer with a quad-core processor and 4GB of RAM...and how many of us can afford that? I recently just finished rendering and animation that I'll use as an intro movie for a class project 9wish I could post it here, but DA dosn't allow quicktime files, and the movie is 31MB - no-one will wait for THAT to load)...anyway, it took over 46 hours just to render 9 seconds of animation

But I'm happy, it looks great!

Hmm, so you say this blonde guy is "somewhat creepy" eh?

thanks for the feature

~00AngelicDevil00 Oct 29, 2008

lol suuuuure this blonde guy is somewhat creepy but a very impressive digital artwork

well, Vue doesn't really crash when I'm composing the scene, but when I start rendering on a better quality; at 1st it needs 130+ hours to render, then it becomes non-responsive or says it has run out of memory

Actually I need to wait one more monthly scholarship and I wanna buy a quadcore CPU and 8 GB RAM (and i'll need a new motherboard too)
Don't you try to convert the animation to a file dA supports? (bcuz it IS possible to upload video files/animations...it just takes longer lol). I'm sure many of us would like to see it

`priteeboy Oct 29, 2008 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Mine is the opposite problem, It rarely crashes on rendering, since I select render areas and do it in around four steps, as I'm typing this, My laptop is currently doing a render which has been going for around 3 or 4 hours now and has only completed around 30% and that's just on the first quarter of the potential image

Though I'm deliberately rendering the parts that would go slowest first...the scene has one tree on a hill, but the hill is densly packed with thousands of little plants and grass, and the lighting is Global Radiosity too (I rarely use GR because it's too slow, but my scene this time just looked crappy without it) Once it get's past that hill, it should speed up a little, but those spectral clouds would slow it down again

Mine mainly crashes because I do a lot of manual placing of trees, I let Ecosystems do the work on far off areas, but nearby, I want my trees to be laid out in a specific way, but moving such detailed objects on a weak laptop means that it can sometimes freeze up and crash

Hmm, I thought about converting those animations, I wouldn't know how lol, or what type of animation file it should be, they are currently quicktime movies, just over 700x500px in resolution, funny though - the 9 second animation that took 46 hours to render is only 31MB, but the 5 second one which took 7 hours to render is a whopping 160MB

~00AngelicDevil00 Oct 30, 2008

well...there are those scenes I couldn't render...I've tried to render them at only 1024×768, in 12(!!) parts, but it crashed while rendering a part (the 3rd or 4th part most often). And as I realized, some imported objects doesn't work in the same scene with some vue objects, and this is what causes the crash...at least it seems

~Only-truth Oct 26, 2008 Photographer

I'm sorry to hear he passed away

it's a pity not all happy times last forever

but i'm glad that you have two new ones

however im not gonna be much help in naming them as i can never decide on stuff

~00AngelicDevil00 Oct 29, 2008

aww yeah, but another happy time came when I bought these cuties

lol don't worry about names anymore; they're called Leroy & Lenore
