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

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

news and my first little feature

Journal Entry: Thu Feb 10, 2011, 11:29 AM

hey my friends!

i have a few news.
first i have to say thanks for your great support! it really motivates me to keep taking pictures and getting better.
i don't know if you noticed it, but i try to upload one picture per day. like my own little 365-project.

furthermore i'm going to buy the 60D in a few weeks or maybe days..

because my old 350D is kind of finished. too many dead and hot pixels and after testing out the 7D and 550D
i really missing the good viewfinder, the liveview and so on!

another point is that i'm a little sad about art theft. today a good friend of mine send me a link to a deviant who uses my own created avatar!!!

i was really taken aback.

now i changed my avatar so it's not as easy to use it. moreover i thought a lot about adding a watermark to my works,
but i hate watermarks on pictures, because the work loses a lot of attention and atmosphere.
so i decided that i will continue submitting my works without watermarks.
i hope i won't regret it and the members of deviantart won't disappoint me.

anyway.. i'd like to introduce to you marco:

one week ago Marco Brambini (

) joined dA .
go and check out his outstanding works (btw: also made with a 350D).

and here are a few works i saw recently and i thought you have to see them too!

:thumb177674739:

i also recommend you to check also my favourites for more awesome stuff!
besides that i try to make more features in the future.

so, thanks for stopping by!
cheers!

Schönes Feature!
Das mit deinem Avatar ist echt ärgerlich. Nachvollziehen können muss man so etwas nicht, oder? Wünsch dir viel Erfolg beim "Zurückerobern" und "Zusammenstampfen"

Wie hat dein Freund den Kerl eigentlich ausfindig gemacht, es gibt hier sooooo viele User...

~Lunox-baik Feb 11, 2011 Student Photographer

dankeschön!

das ist aufjedenfall doof jap! =/
weiß nicht genau.
er ist sehr aufmerksam und ist viel auf dA unterwegs - vllt so!

~Tahila Feb 13, 2011

Hey, ich habe gerade gesehen, dass er nun ein anderes Avatar hat

~Lunox-baik Feb 13, 2011 Student Photographer

jap! bin ich auch ganz froh drüber!

er meinte, er hats von einem geschickt bekommen..
ich lass das mal im raum stehen

`DpressedSoul Feb 11, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

Vielen Dank fürs Feature, Herr B.!

Ich habe gesehen, dass das Kerlchen den Avatar immer noch nicht geändert hat,
daher habe ich ihm auch mal einen kleinen Kommentar hinterlassen.

Vermutlich solltest Du es wirklich melden, wenn er nicht in angemessener Zeit darauf reagiert!

~Lunox-baik Feb 11, 2011 Student Photographer

sehr gern flow!
danke auch dir fürs supporten!
ich habe schon dem devArt team was geschrieben und durchlaufe gerade eine "help desk" prozedur habe ich das gefühl,
wo man alles mögliche einreichen muss und noch einmal sagen muss, dass es wirklich geklaut ist.
lol.

mal schauen was daraus wird!

`DpressedSoul Feb 11, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

"flow" ist auch irgendwie nett... Hihi...
Nix zu danken, die sollen dem ruhig mal eins vors Latz knallen!
Um es mal etwas rustikaler auszudrücken.

~Lunox-baik Feb 11, 2011 Student Photographer

~largethomas Feb 10, 2011 Student Photographer

Oder warten bis die 600D kommt... wobei die 60D natürlich sehr nett ist. Für mich sowieso besser, weil größer... würde sowas wie die 600D nur als Backup oder zum Filmen kaufen. Aber mit der 60D kannste das natürlich auch... also spar ich schön weiter auf meine 5DII

~Lunox-baik Feb 10, 2011 Student Photographer

so ist es! letztendlich ist auch die 550D super,
nur da ist es mir eines der wenigen male mal echt wichtig nicht zur consumer-class zugehören. sorry.
aber so ein ganz kleines bisschen absetzen. außerdem fand ich meine vorstellung ganz nett:
erst die 3 stelligen, dann die 2 stelligen (yei) und bald die einstellige (

)!
vllt plane ich die alte 350D auch für "Actionshootings" ein, wo man nicht unbedingt sein neues baby mitnehmen muss.

MKII? ich spar jetzt schon langfristig auf die MKIII
