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.

Bronies go nuts, and Nintendo Sucks?Equestria Girls
The trailer to "Equestria Girls" (the humanized MLP spinoff film) finally was released today. Aaaannnd everyone's freaking out. Again.
You know, it actually looks pretty decent. Bronies... please understand: I know you're a major unexpected demographic for the show. I know you enjoy seeing shout-out's become canon within the show, and appreciate how the creators do little things here and there for you. But... the show isn't made for you. This is not Cartoon Network and the target demographic isn't 25 year olds in college. You're a nice addition to the target demographic of little girls, but you are not the driving force behind MLP.
I don't want this to sound mean, but it needs to be said. This is where it becomes very important to understand the fine line between being a fan of the show and thinking that because you've invested so much energy into the show that you're entitled to things.
I'm sure the movie won't be as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It honest

Devious Journal Entryokay, i kinda have to say something....
some rumors have been going around that im homophobic (??) and i try to hide behind people, and im full of myself and that i hate you all and i manipulate you guys??????

I am Pansexual (if you don't know what that is here is a link to the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansexuality) I am super bad at talking to people because of my anxiety and claiming to have a disability is not my way of shutting you guys out, I'm trying i really REALLY hard at making friends and being more social and im going to start being more social with you guys from now on this popularity kinda snuck up on me and i really had nothing to say because i was so "socially retarded" is a good way to put it. I have faith in my art, i use it as a way of expressing myself and paying homage to my favorite subject: creepypasta. man do i love creepypa

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?)

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

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.

Finally!

by ~elephantblue, Aug 24, 2011, 1:09:00 AM
Journals / Personal

So guess who FINALLY has a job!

I'll be working at a shop in the almost too adorable town in which I live which caters mainly to surfers and tourists.  It's a higher-end souvenir shop, selling handcarved wooden tikis and replica Polynesian weaponry, so it's a step up from "Da Kine" t-shirts and surfing Obama bobblehead dolls tat you'd find pretty much everywhere else.

Of course, being that I don't start until the first, I have one last batch of rent and electric to scrape together before I start making any dough, so once again, I shall shamelessly hock my wares by promoting my shop, Domestic Voodoo, which still has recession sales going on and also a lot of cool new stuff!

Also, I'm open for painting and drawing commissions, so if you would like one, I have already pretty low prices and also a sliding scale, so ask away!

And as always, you can get yourself a copy of our very first, extremely cool Snap Crackle Pop book if you love yourself enough or have a super good friend.

Thanks a lot to everyone who made my four months of joblessness bearable!  You've been amazing.

Lots of love to all y'all!

I'm so happy for you!! Congratulations; you deserve the job.

~elephantblue Aug 30, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thank you! I'm excited to start.

~Maeria Aug 28, 2011

I am so, so glad you've gotten a job at last. It doesn't sound *anything* like that icky office type thing that tried to woo you earlier, either.

~serenity600 Aug 27, 2011 Student General Artist

Yay! Congratulations!

*woohooligan Aug 26, 2011 Professional Digital Artist

Woo!

~thing1thatiam Aug 25, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Oh, dearest Kit! Words cannot express how happy I am for you!!!

You're going to rock that job like no other, and your boss will love you and give you lots of money. :3 That's just how I foresee it.

Also! I've been really cheap lately (horrible, I know), since being unemployed, so I still haven't sent out your gift! It shall be in the mail soon, I did get the job at that gun store/shooting range I was telling you about a while back, so I'll finally have some cash soon! Anyway, I am SO very happy for you, Kit. You deserve the world, I'm glad you're out of the unemployed funk!

~elephantblue Aug 25, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thanks, Ashley! I sure hope your prediction comes true -- I've never really been in any kind of pressurized sales position before, so this will be new and possibly difficult. And you're not horrible, you silly thing! I've been feeling horrible because I haven't gotten to send out your sister's Don Draper yet and she actually paid for that, so don't you feel horrible about sending me something I don't even deserve.

I will get Don in the mail very soon, and I'm so sorry for the delay, do let her know. I am having a similar problem to yours with the no-money-till-the-job-starts-thing.

And YAY, congratulations on your job too, that's so awesome! I kind of love the idea of working at a gun shop/shooting range, that could be kind of fun. Especially in California if the Mythbusters should happen to come in...

~thing1thatiam Aug 25, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Sales is super easy! I've been doing it my whole college career, its really no biggie. ^_^ The best thing I learned that I can easily pass on to you is just to have fun with it!

If you're given a specific number to hit for sales, don't stress too much about it, just be happy and people will gladly shop with you. WARNING: Things WILL be stolen, its just how it is nowadays (rather, how its ALWAYS been), so don't stress your pretty little head over it. Shit happens! Some shit which you can't prevent!

Anyway, so long as you provide great customer service, you will have no problem with this job.

I wish you the best of luck as you first get into it! You'll do great!

Ah, she actually JUST asked me about Don, I'll be sure to pass on the word! I'm also having conflicts with WHAT to send you, I've got a few things that I'd love to send your way, its just the whole "shipping" thing I'm unsure of. Get a box? Which size? etc. I might as well just send you all these trinkets, stop myself from debating which you'd like better. :3

Thanks, doll! I'm really excited to work there, everyone is really awesome, especially the owner of the place! He's probably the cutest older guy I've ever met, he's got that rustic, "been everywhere, seen everything" vibe to him. I've shaken his hand a few times, its like old leather. I almost just want to give the guy a hug! ^_^ Oo, that sure would be fancy if Mythbusters showed up! They're based out of San Francisco, about an hour and a half from where I live. Ah, and now I'm off to daydream of Jamie and Adam...:3

~orientalbunny Aug 25, 2011

YAHOOOO!!!! Right on Kit!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!! Way to go!!!!

~elephantblue Aug 25, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thanks a bunch! I'm definitely relieved.
