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

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.

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

Things of the thinging + Ohayocon

Journal Entry: Fri Jan 4, 2013, 7:16 AM

Holy hell Batman... The Kelly has been crazy busy. I haven't gotten a chance to reply to my notes and whatnot. I haven't even touched a real computer in weeks. Lol. (My fancy smartphone can't do everything) So if you did note me, I promise to do my best and get back to you!! Now onwards to everything else!!

Thing 1: Anime Apocalypse with

This con fucking rocked my socks!! I had photoshoots done. My panels went of pretty darn well. The staff, attendees, and other guests we all awesome. Despite the weather being shit the whole way there and toll roads can kiss my ass, the drive was pleasant. And it also just so happened to drive by Mitsuwa... So OF COURSE we had to stop there... twice... and spend lots of money on yaoi and cosplay magazines... I got bought at the charity auction for $30. The highest price for a single person. We went in together and bought Tony Stark and Loki. Loki bought basically everyone else. So by chain of command, Bree had an army by the end of the night. Then there were the Hitachiin twin cosplayers and their Tamaki... Holy fangirl fangasms... Bree and I can't even use full words let alone sentences when talking about them. It was a wonderful feast all weekend to watch them. Ah~~~~<3

So much needed love times to Preston, Staci, Nick Izumi and his girlfriend (whose name I can't remember for the life of me... TT^TT I'm so sorry!!!), the Soul Eater girls (I wanna keep you three forever!!), Rebecka for bringing sexy time with Panty, Jason for awesome photoshoot tiemz, and Robbie.

Da lootz: 2 issues of Be x Boy, 3 other yaoi monthlies, Newtype Dec 2012 issue, Cosmode Nov 2012 issue (they had a feature on my favorite Barnaby cosplayer in it!!! I freaking died with joy!!!!!!), Dash Dec 2012 issue, An image Nov 2012 issue, B's Log Jan 2013 issue, 2 mlp figures, some fan arts, a red panda scarf named Pabu, Gundam Wing pins and keychain, a huge Panty & Stocking button, all of Loveless on DVD, 2 Sailor Moon old school items, some Weiß Kruiz posters, and the american Newtype April 2003 issue.

Thing 2: Christmas and New Years
Christmas was same old same old. Crazy time. New Years I spent with

, and

. Played lots of Just Dance. It was awesome.

Da Christmas lootz:
Tiger & Bunny TV Fan vol. 1, Kotetsu plush, Tiger & Bunny 2013 calendar, 4 hours of time from my friend Janna who is a professional seamstress, a Naruto wallscroll, A NEW BROTHER SEWING MACHINE!!!!, work pants and shoes, a cat daily calendar, pistachios, gas cards, a Sailor Moon T-shirt, and my absolute favorite present... a handmade TIGER PLUSH!!! Its a fan creation from Tiger & Bunny. The episode where Kotetsu gives Barnaby the pink bunny for his birthday? Well I got a yellow tiger one. I love him!! He is so squishy and soft!!!

Thing 3: Ohayocon
Just got my badge a few days ago and its less than 2 weeks until con. *dies* I don't have any new costumes planned for it just fixing up old ones as usual. Since Frank won't be there, I don't have anything to do... I'm hopefully going to work for Anime Stuff Store (Cuz I love them) but its still up in the air.

Prepare yourself for a ton of Matsumoto and Premiere Stocking pics in a few days!!
