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

Tell me something interesting?

Journal Entry: Mon May 16, 2011, 5:54 AM

It's my 21st in two weeks. When did I get so old? Q ^ Q

And I can't even celebrate, because my birthday falls right in the leadup to mid-year exams. Arghfsdlhsdf. //weep _{_{I haven't had a party since my 18th ;A;}}

After posting the Howl picture, I realised that many people haven't read the book. Go read it. It's brilliant. Amazon link -> [link]

Actually, anything by Diana Wynne Jones. She was, and still is, my favourite author from my childhood.

I attended Otakelaide on saturday morning. It was pretty fun. Only, I had a friend from Melbourne visiting and she's not fond of anime. It was okay for a while because she slept on a couch behind our table, but when she woke up surrounded by people in capes and hoods and giant weapons, she insisted on getting out of there :'D So I only stayed until lunch~

And, if you're interested in my OCs, I've been reblogging some lovely giftart from friends on my tumblr. Go check them out ♥ [link]

Yep, that's it for updates.

Tell me something interesting?

Wonder if this was already said...

Pink was originally used as a Male color as Pink (Light Red) was meant to represent masculine while Blue (Dark Blue) represented cool and calm.

How they switched gender is unknown.

Another... Um... a Doberman is a breed of over 5 type of dogs (I forgot actual number) and was made to look elegant but work fiercely. It was bred by a Tax collector name Doberman.

~thali-n Jun 9, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Aaah, I think I first heard that on QI. I love that fact! ♥

Also, doberman fact is very interesting indeed! Thanks! *u*

=Alien-Piglet May 18, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Old???!!!! You're saying 21 is old??? I'm OUTRAGED!!!!

Actually, my best friend is turning 21 in about the same time, and she doesn't embrace it either

oh wait... I've got to buy her a present -..- One useful advice, the sooner you start ignoring the numbers, the better - in case if you have any frustrations about getting "old"

~thali-n May 20, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

It is older than I've ever been before Q A Q

I'll stop ignoring the numbers after I reach 26, I think. xD

=Alien-Piglet May 24, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I guess everyone has an individual "start-ignoring" age. But it's useful, some people force themselves to act according to their physical age and it sucks

The most uncomfortable feeling, I think. So by ignoring the number, you're free to act the way you feel comfortable

I've seen 17 years old girls seeming 30+ and 40+ women seeming 25, why? - you know the answer

~Lumbersummoner May 18, 2011

LOL! I went to otakelaide and I think I bought some of your stuff XD And I also remember seeing your friend sleeping on the couch and my friends were next to her saying, "How can she sleep like that?" It all makes sense now! XD Sorry if it was my friends and me that freaked her out...

~thali-n May 18, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Haha, I'm sure it confused a lot of people there!

~Imrryr May 17, 2011

Hmm, something interesting? With your background you might already know this, but just in case you don't, have you ever heard of Meganeura [link] ? It's an extinct genus of insects that are related to modern dragonflies. They lived about 300 million years ago, but the interesting thing? They had wingspans of more than 75 centimeters!

Here's a color model [link] of what one might have looked like. I'm not sure exactly what I'd do if one of those landed on my head, but I'm reasonably certain that there would be screaming involved

~thali-n May 20, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Oh, that was very interesting indeed :C Thank youuu. I'd heard of them in passing, but it fascinating to read more detail.

There were some pretty amazing creatures around in the past ... B-but I'm, kinda glad there aren't giant dragonflies any more ... xD

~xia0ting May 17, 2011

oh wow! my 21st is this saturday!! and i understand exactly how you feel ;___; im going through my major assessments atm, and its horrible! planning time is really not enough! and i havent had a party since i was 10! so i really want my 21st to be a memorable & non-boring one XD lmao!

hmm something interesting?... i rolled 400 mini spring rolls with my bf this afternoon for my party, it took 6hrs ;___; and my shoulders semi-cramped XD haha and.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! i hope you'll get to enjoy it properly after exams, if you dont have the time during! ♥♥♥
