THANK YOU EVERYPONY WHO JOINED :'D I DIDN'T EXPECT SO MANY

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

Read it it's SO epic!!!

*Dawnehpants May 12, 2012 Hobbyist Filmographer

It sounds awesome. ;A;

=G-R-1-M May 11, 2012

i've kinda been losing my hope in finding god books about feral animals. (especially after reading the tygrine cat because my expecctations were higher then what was met in the book), so i'll be sure to check this one out! :>

~monotsleigh May 11, 2012 Student General Artist

Tygerine Cat? I still have that, I read it when I was around 11, and now it is a bit boring for me, but I still do like to read it! David Clement-Davies books The Sight (wolves) and Firebringer (deer) are good! But I'm not sure if you would call them feral. I also still have the Shapeshifter quintet by Ali Sparkes. There's also Cat-Kin by some guy I can't remeber but the end always made it seem like there would be anouther one..Just checked; it's by nick green, the second one is already out and the page for the third one says "For which you will have to wait. Or hack my computer. I strongly advise the former. Shapeshifter and Cat-Kin are both for a slightly younger audience than I am, but If you're like me, I still have to finish a series that I started when I was younger, no matter how long ago it was. (providing i can remember it and liked the first book!)

Umm if you like Marley, try Cleo. It's real life and it's so sad at the end, but I would recommend it to anyone! Also another RL one is vet on call and it's about a vet's first year as an after hours vet. The end is very funny!

=G-R-1-M May 11, 2012

i read the sight a while ago. i can't remember much but that is was pretty good! xD maybe i'll bum it off my friend again for another read.

never heard of firebringer! o: /adds to list

if i get bored of a series i don't end up finishing it. xD like warriors. thought i lasted a good while in the fandom, i am 17 now and the books never really got better, they just kept getting ridiculous and i began nit-picking the problems and loopholes before i stopped reading. xD

~monotsleigh May 12, 2012 Student General Artist

Well for me there's only two books left, but yes the second/third series are a bit boring, but I think the forth series is a bit better than those two. I find it annoying that Tigerstar can't accept death and has to get revenge! My favourite series is still the first! XD But for their new series, (surviors) it's going to be written by other "Hunters" which I think is a bit cheeky of the publishers, I'm definetly not reading it.

~mechanicalmasochist May 11, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

i really liked this one because it had a touch of almot sco-fi to its plot and fanatasy ,

i reall want to find the book
'the pole seekers' again because it was about ship rats and a very good read but ahead of my reading level at the time

=G-R-1-M May 11, 2012

ahh i'm always a sucker for sci-fi. :3

whoa a book about rats! o: yup. added to my list when i get money. xD

~mechanicalmasochist May 11, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

yay!

hmm if you can buy books online i suggest amazon you can get second hand books for pennies in near mint condition-that is of course if you dont mind second hand XD

hmm I cant think of many more animal books,
there is the incredible journey which is a classic, the plague dogs though it is a hard read and the american version has its ending edited to my dismay (since i ended up with the us copy and my friend the british)
mrs frisby and the rats of nimh is one im after because i love the film
oh and wolf cry is a good one but quite tragic.

the pole seekers is the next one on my list after this though really XD

=G-R-1-M May 11, 2012

yeah i usually buy my books online on amazon or chapters indigo. whatever is cheaper. (same with my video games. xD)

i've heard of the movie plague dogs, i keep meaning to watch it! (since i liked felidae apparently that one is good too).
