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?)

All winners are picked at random! (random.org)

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.

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

Ame grise et mains froides.

Vieilles idées moisies.

Le linge ne sèche pas et les larmes non plus.

Complaisance dans la déprime.

Névrosée dans la prose.

Déplacée dans la rime.

Cynique overdose.

Les odeurs-dégoûts sont trop fortes.

Je m’éradique de la page avant de céder au plus médiocre.

Et le vent emporta nos mauvais souvenirsHeureux qui, comme Alice, s'éloigne du rivage
Loin de la puanteur des idées de passage
Et part sans remords, le cœur plein d'appétence
Au pays des chimères retrouver l'innocence

Je ne verrai jamais, dans mon morceau de terre,
Fleurir des idéaux humanistes et sincères
Je prendrai ma retraite avant qu'on me la vole
Par quelques jeux de mots qui sentent le formol

Pour plus de liberté, je laisse ma fortune
Ma maison, ma télé et ma fosse commune
Plus que tous les palais, je préfère l'air pur

Plus que de vils coutumes, j'ai choisi le futur
Plus que l'indifférence, j'aime les différences
Et plus que la souffrance, je crie l'irrévérence

Epiloguetes pupilles profondes
bordées de cils en larmes

comme des sous-marins noirs

tes pupilles profondes
je le sais –
à l'ombre de nos draps

Pour me promener dans la campagne mouillée, Pour me promener dans la campagne émaillée,
Mes mèches brunes frivoles par le vent volées Mes messes brunes dévotes par vent immolées
Ont l’odeur exotique de contrées de revanche. Ont l’horreur magnifique de confrères pervenches.

Ainsi, je frétille en les flaques endormies, Ainsi, je béquille dans les flaques harpies,
La pénombre me guide à travers les bleuets La palabre

Theater of FreaksHot wax and shrink wrap
Stage acts with techno beats
And strobe lighting

G-strings and corsets
Fishnet stockings
And black lipstick

Canes that look like peppermint sticks
Top hats and funny glasses

There's a lot of skin
Behind these doors
No shame
Amongst the masses

This is hardly my scene
Early or late
But here I am shooting cheap booze

In this theater
of freaks

Mute Say - SonnetIt seems these stifled words for you will always lack music
No matter how smooth or effortless they fall from the vine,
Not ever heard raising a single pitched note into your mind,
And thinking on what to do makes me somewhat muse sick
Knowing words with no tune is just mute say, mute poetry,
A forsaken giant no one sits under, namely the wise Poetree.
Your head is often a mass of undeveloped skull fat flapping
In the wind, and your brain, sand my pressed fingers draw in,
But no matter what messages or 'I'm telling you' premonition,
There they are, erased with every high-rising wave slapping.
Down this fretboard of lines my pen slides, burnin

Oh, ElizabethOh, Elizabeth
I shouldn't know this part of you.
Uncloistered and detached
A cigarette clamped in her teeth
She shows me the tattoo on her thigh
And peers into the swirl of a martini.
I fail to mention her black veil is askew
Because it takes away the edge of desertion
The black shroud hides, just as diaphanous
And she pulls it down so slowly
Her pupils a splurge of knowing.
Oh, Elizabeth
I shouldn't see this part of you.
Her display is enormous and vulture-picked clean
With a tangled virtue in a line-wired brush
And all they found of you was broken to the touch
Even though the grass hid the illustrious gape.
The black jewel has been pried f

SeafoamSeafoam
is the hush of the ocean,
the glossy paint on your car,
the gleam in your eyes.
It's the ruffle of parchment in the glove compartment
of your susurrating '57 Thunderbird
as we leave the last rumble of brontide behind
on a salt-crushed highway.
Traces of powdered sugar noses
and mint milkshake lips
were cold reminders
of warm nostalgic days
when summer could melt the tarmac
like my bones under your gaze.

Haiku Ika-Unom

the morning mist fades
a golden sun revealed
her eyes kept westward

Dans le cadre de nos interviews décennales, nous avons le plaisir de recevoir ce soir Dame Odessa, une artiste reconnue sur DA grâce à, notamment, ses magistrales aquarelles de pigeons cannibales. Mais elle est plus que cela : totalement schizophrène, elle est aussi Dame Odessa, en vrai, à savoir la Maîtresse des Terres Lacérées, Grande Prêtresse du Chaos, Chambellan Ultime des Horizons Stellaires, Grande Ordonnatrice des Destinées Sanglantes, etc. Pour plus de commodité, lorsque nous nous adresserons à la prêtresse du Chaos, les questions commenceront par « Votre Grandeur ». Mais quand elles s’adresseront à son enveloppe matérielle, les questions commenceront par « tu » et/ou « patronne » (puisqu
