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.

IMPORTANT: Please be sure to state what you did

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
(the song is Tenkuu no Canaria, from ToS *w*b)

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

Update on the Congress Agenda

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 14, 2012, 12:23 AM

Dear comrades of the CPDA,

I would like to bring everyone up to speed on the status of several issues. So far, the candidates for the Central Executive Committee are as follows:

~The-Necromancer is running for the office of General Secretary
~HERNZ4795 is running for the Commissariat of Internal Affairs
~Party9999999 is running for the Commissariat of Visual Arts
~KnoFear is running for the Commissariat of Literary Affairs
~DeathlessLegends13 and ~renjikuchiki1 are running for the Commissariat of Theory and Ideology
*Laghing-rabt is running for the Commissariat of External Affairs

Pending official announcement, comrade ~Velikorossiya may be running for the Commissariat of the Treasury.

I feel this would also be a good time to hold an All Party vote on the creation of a Commissariat of Environmental Affairs. Comrades have expressed keen interest in the creation of such a post on the Central Executive Committee, and I know the recently returned comrade ~Fatal-Nostalgia (formerly known as gl0wstick) has expressed interest in running for such a position should it be approved by the Party members. Expect a poll up to take vote on it with this journal's release.

Current nominees as Observers on the Central Committee include:

~Kiev-45
~bawls34

I would also like to mention that comrade ~LivingSoviet has stepped forward to find someone capable of revamping our journal skin. Thank you very much!

Continuing issues that will be brought up for discussion:

The effects of today's General Strike in Europe.
The change of leadership in the PRC.
Annual reviewing the CPDA's submission and membership policies.
Discussion on the Party's long term goals, hopefully with the formation of a multi-year plan to be carried out by future Party leaders.
Clarification of the role of Junior (Observer) Central Committee members.
Funding for the CPDA's Point Account as held by the Commissar of the Treasury.

As always, if any comrades would like to announce that they wish to run for one of the seven (maybe eight, soon) positions on the Central Executive Committee, please do so. Any comrades wishing to be nominated as Observers to the Central Committee, please do so.

Any other topics that should be covered by this Congress should be brought up, although we will soon be entering the second (and final) week of this year's Party Congress.

Voting for all offices and nominations will begin next Monday.

In solidarity,

The-Necromancer
CPDA General Secretary

If there is still time, I would very much like to formally announce candidacy for Commissar of the Treasury. I'm aware it may be a little late, but hey, Robert Kennedy pulled it off (almost).

~bawls34 Nov 14, 2012

said this on the last journal, but i'd lke to be nominated for observer status.

~The-Necromancer Nov 14, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Sorry about that. I'd thought I'd been most thorough when looking over past comments. I had the niggling feeling I was missing someone, but for some reason I failed to notice your announcement.

~Shiki-Scarlet Nov 14, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Can I become the Commissariat of alcohol =3

I jest.

Its good to see people stepping up and keeping the group a well oiled machine.

~The-Necromancer Nov 14, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Comrade, so long as we have bottles of our favorite liquor, we all are Commissars of Alcohol! HA HA HA!!!

~Velikorossiya Nov 19, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

I'm sorry, but I just had to say, I lul'd.

~The-Necromancer Nov 19, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

But it's true!

...the only question I have is "Why is the Guinness always gone?"

~Velikorossiya Nov 20, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

I'm a fan of whiskeys and Volkov myself. I have a love/hate relationship with vodka.

~The-Necromancer Nov 20, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

If I buy vodka, it must be Stolichnaya. To me, vodka must be Russian. Not that Gray Goose is bad either. With whiskey, I prefer Canadian Club, although Jack is OK. Bourbon, I'm a bit cheaper as I like Wild Turkey...

Guinness or Spaten Optimator are my favorite beers, but any "black" beer is generally agreeable to me.

~Velikorossiya Nov 21, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

I can't drink beer. The taste isn't meant for me. Except for Keystone Light. But that has backstory.

I've been meaning to pick up a bottle of Russian Standard, myself. And I'm not sure I've ever had Gray Goose. My friends tend to buy cheaper alcohol. And if I'm going to buy vodka, I agree, it should be Russian. Or Norwegian. But only because I'd find that awesome.
