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?)

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

I hate thinking...AND go vote!

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 22, 2009, 4:38 PM

And that's what happens when I draw, thoughts come flying out of the abyss about basically nothing. I sadly tend to think about major embarrassing situations from the past and how I could of avoided them or current problems troubling me. But recently I've been thinking about my art, my style to be more specific.

I love Osamu Tezuka anything, Akira Toriyama's overall style and I love Eiichiro Oda's character design and somewhere down the road over a period from like 2000 (my early stages of drawing) to now, 2009 I've been insanely inspired by what I like about those three.
Of course I never tried to mimic them but it's hard for me to honestly tell if I've created my own personal style or just something really weird lol. I don't want to be a copycat or too generic.

I'm probably really over-thinking this but I guess my question would be how do you describe my art, what do you like or don't like about it?

I SHOULD WAIT A MINUTE BEFORE HITTING SEND

. I actually draw mostly to distract myself from how much of a twat I've been throughout my life. If I stop drawing or doing something similar my brain fills up with those embarassing thoughts, like, "oops, I was a dick to a total stranger," "oops, I fucked that up majorly and now a friend will never talk to me again," "oops, I didn't ask my crush out and she graduated this year, never gonna see her again" and then I'm stuck thinking about shit like that until I go to sleep or start doing something creative again or cry for a couple hours.

*The-Orange-One Jul 23, 2009 Professional Filmographer

Lol it's the exact opposite for me. When I'm doing nothing like watching tv or staring into space my mind is blank but as soon as I start drawing, everything stupid I've ever done in my life comes flying into my head. Its a wonder why I still draw!

~Dogidillo Jul 23, 2009

That's pretty fucked up, hon'. You don't get any artistic bliss when you draw? or is it just that you also have other stuff going on in your head too?

*The-Orange-One Jul 24, 2009 Professional Filmographer

It is but yeah I love drawing, It's just that the retarded crap flies into my mind while i'm drawing, yep too much on my mind I suppose. Nothing can be too perfect sadly lol!

~Dogidillo Jul 22, 2009

Also that song always makes me laugh, I have no idea why

*The-Orange-One Jul 23, 2009 Professional Filmographer

Lol, me too and I have no clue why either

~Dogidillo Jul 22, 2009

Your art's got a Toriyama/90's sort'a vibe to it but it is definitely your own style. Your art's got aces in personality, you don't need to change it.

Beyond that, it's your prerogative to try and change, so you know, you can keep going, improving on this path, or you could do something new. It's entirely up to you and asking others will probably just lead you in circles.

*The-Orange-One Jul 23, 2009 Professional Filmographer

Oh no I didn't want to change I like my old school look, just a bit curious.

And you're right, wondering about it will only keep me going in circles. I don't really know why i've been thinking so much about it lately.

~Gingashi Jul 22, 2009 Professional Artist

What I like about your art is the positive energy I get from it whenever I look at it. It's very charming with the genuine expressions of the characters. Your drawings are easy to connect to and can feel like photographs in the sense that you really capture a moment or document your characters in a very real way. The designs have a youthful punk and rock feel to them that adds to the flair they have but it's not overly done or trying too hard- it fits just right. When I see your art I am not sure what the immediate influences are until I got to see your comic pages. I do see some touches of your cited influences in there but who isn't inspired by them? hehe. There's nothing wrong with it and you still have your own style and do things in your own way. I think part of the charm of your art indeed can be found in the connection your art makes with the artists you admire and are inspired by. You have bold characters and line qualities I love, but they aren't "in your face" or overwhelming, instead they are very welcoming and friendly, which I don't see often with art that has more black ink areas and line thickness.

I don't think you have anything to worry about with regards to being original or copying or the like- your style is so very unique and I would love for more people to see it.

*The-Orange-One Jul 23, 2009 Professional Filmographer

Thank you, I'm feeling a bit more content know.
Everything you commented on are basically what I was worried about, the inking(especially the inking), the characters, the overall style description- I'm very happy now that I know my characters and style are their own and I'm not mimicking anyone. Thank you again, I'm really glad you commented!
