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

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

Comments and replies: aka few questions

I've been wondering, when you comment on someone's piece, do you like it when they reply? I try to acknowledge every message I get, but sometimes all I can say in reply is 'thank you' Doesn't it get irritating when you get a message box full of thank yous?

On a different note, I still owe few 'freebie' sketches that I promised, so if you get a note from me in the near future with a link to the drawing that's why

(I think I have two left at this point, but I'll have to double check) This ties back to long ago when I asked for cooking recipes.

Also I've been reconsidering livestreaming recently, since it's generally rather stressful for me to do. Would you guys be really disappointed if I stopped?

~ImInUrDreams222 Apr 23, 2010

I personally think that if someone were to just say "Thank you" especially if I had only said something like, "You have a great gallery~!" then I take that as them being kind enough to respond and let me know that they appreciate my words and took the time to acknowledge them. The only time I am slightly frustrated with just a "Thank you" is if I had taken the time to write why I liked that particular piece so much that I had went into to detail to let them know that their effort and time has been noticed and awed me enough to think, "Now here is a spectacular piece of work." I can understand if artists are busy, and if it takes them a really long time to reply, but if it has been more than a year and I see that they only reply to people they find interesting, then I don't even bother with commenting any longer. But what frustrates me even more (and this has only happened once to me) is if an artists asks for opinions and suggestions, and you go in depth and take a lot of time to comment, and they don't even bother saying anything. Hell, a response such as, "Thanks but no thanks" or "You have too much time on your hands" would be nice because they did get what they asked for.

If you were to just say "Thank you" at the end of your journal to all the small comment's, then that works fine as well, especially if you are busy. Honestly, what ever you choose to do will be fine, because all people want to know is that they are not being ignored, and by you asking, "...when you comment on someone's piece, do you like it when they reply?" shows you care and already take others into consideration, which should be more than enough for anyone.

On the live-stream matter, I pop in and out to see how your work is coming along if I can because it is always great to see your process. But if you are ever too swamped, think of yourself and either post on you-tube or stop all together. What matters is what you want and if doing these things benefit you, because if they don't then what is the point?

I hope this helps~!

*AniaMohrbacher Apr 24, 2010 Digital Artist

Wow now that's a long and insightful reply

, thanks for taking your time to do so! Now on livestream matter, I think I'm going to let Pete take over today, so if you are interested he'll be streaming in an hour. I'll still be there in the background as per usual

~ImInUrDreams222 Apr 24, 2010

Drat, I missed it~! Well, I'll catch the both you of you next time, haha ^^

*Siluan Apr 23, 2010 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I think that people (well, judging by myself) usually don't comment that much, and that not all of artists respond back, so you don't get message box full of "thank yous" (and if you do, it's not problem to delete them altogether

). I think it's nice when people respond, even with something simple like thanks. It shows that they actually read the messages they get. I understand that they can read them without responding, but I have no way of knowing that.
Personally, I usually don't comment of people who don't answer back, because... well, because I perceive it like they are indifferent to the messages they get, and commenting takes time, so there. In cases like this I just usually hit fav and run

Artist see I like it, he doesn't have to respond and I have a nice picture in my faves, everybody is happy

I do understand that it's impossible to respond to everyone if you get hundreds and hundreds of comments - then you wouldn't ever actually paint anything

I also react to every comment I get

Well, that's my opinion.

*AniaMohrbacher Apr 23, 2010 Digital Artist

Well, thank you for responding to my journal, because it helped me find your gallery

You have an amazing work, I want to see more!

*Siluan Apr 23, 2010 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I'm glad then!

And thank you for your kind words

~PaperSpiders Apr 21, 2010 Student Traditional Artist

I enjoy it when I get a "thank you" but I can understand that for the more popular artists that simply is not practical.

What I HATE on the other hand, is when you have a technical question or a truly well thought out reply and people don't seem to want to take the time out to read and/or answer.

*AniaMohrbacher Apr 22, 2010 Digital Artist

I don't mind taking time to say thanks, but sometimes it just feels to mechanical, and therefore may feel insincere to the reader. As for technical questions: I try to answer all the questions people ask me, but sometimes, especially when I'm busy for a period of time, it takes me a while to get back to them

~PaperSpiders Apr 22, 2010 Student Traditional Artist

I know what you mean. I always wonder too, if when I'm saying "Thank You" I'm just spamming people's inbox.

~kisira Apr 21, 2010 Student General Artist

I don't mind if people reply with a thank you. It feels good.

If you stopped livestreaming, I would be sad. Very sad.
