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?)

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

Nintendo STEALS Money!Since this has been going around lately, I should probably give my two cents. Basically what it amounts to is that Nintendo has filed Content ID info of their games with YouTube. What this means is that if you upload gameplay video of a Nintendo game, YouTube will automatically monetize that video, put ads on it, a link to where to buy the game, and take the money generated from that video and give it directly to Nintendo. People who do "let's play" videos are, naturally, pissed off because they want to be earning money off their videos, so they're calling Nintendo "thieves" for doing this.
I can see both sides to the story. I can see Nintendo as a corporation wanting to exercise control over their properties. On the other hand, "let's play" videos can often help new gamers find games they otherwise wouldn't have tried.
But here's the thing: Nintendo isn't the first company do this. Both Microsoft and Ubisoft do it already. YouTube has also had a long history of having music videos and

Halloween in 8 Days~ 8D

Sun Oct 23, 2011, 1:11 PM

_{Hello everyone and thanks for reading! Nothing much to report here...'cept that the weather here is acting weirder than normal. |D

School? Been okay for me. How is everyone's school year so far? 83 I'm looking forward to winter break after all the exams, essays, and the large boatloads of homework. I've got good news as well as bad news.

Bad news: I failed my second math quiz. ; w ; No matter how many times I took it, I ranged between 50 -75 points out of 100. I'm so-so when it comes to mathematics but it's my highest grade from what I know. I had expected it to be English but...hey. I think I'll pass all three courses. It's the competition I'm worried about. OAO

Good news: I got a 97 on my English midterms! I thought I was terrible in this class but that grade really turned my thoughts around. Thank you, God! My first semester's gonna end on December 13th. Pretty excited about winter break and then Christmas! I hope I can participate in a few Secret Santa events this year. It sounds like a lot of fun. >w<

Commissions and trades are still closed but I've set my prices back to normal. I'll open them up once I have a little more free time. c: This week's goal is much higher than most, even though I'm halfway there already. ^{Anyone willing to donate 1000 points~?}

Commissions and trades are now opened again! I need points!

People I Plan To Commission/Owe Commission Points To [If they're open... |D]

- - 560 for a normal headshot

- - 160 for a chibi couple picture

- - 200 for a chibi

- - 100/130 for a headshot

Total: 1050

Well, that's all for now! Thanks again for reading and have a great day/night!

Journals / Personal

~SubtleQuirks Oct 24, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

Don't tell anyone, but I'm using your journal as an excuse to procrastinate on a paper! ;D

I'm pretty excited for Halloween even if it is going to be lame. First off, it's on a Monday, so that means no friends coming over because it'll be a school night and I have classes the next day early. Bleh. Second, I'm too damn old to go out and trick or treat so the only candy I'll get to sample is the one I'll be handing out. Third, none of my brother's friends have younger siblings that I can pay to go trick or treating for me. LOL. And fourth, I don't have a snazzy costume this year. With my new haircut I was thinking of doing Cleopatra but I just don't have the hottyboombody for that.

All complaining aside, I'm sorry about your math quiz. But at least you didn't outright fail with less than a fifty, and as everyone else can point out, points are points! Some are better than none, and a range from 50-75 puts you way over a measly 0. And, since you put it up there too, congrats on your English midterm! I actually don't have midterms at my college so there's no worries for me, but they can be pretty damn stressful so I'm glad that you aced it. :3

=Yumiko12345 Oct 24, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

_{LOL. That's fine with me. It's been a few hours since I've received a message so I'm happy to procrastinate with you!

Halloween's gonna be pretty uneventful for me, too. I wish I could've trick-or-treated at least once in my life but oh well. |D People won't be coming to my door since they know our family doesn't celebrate Halloween but I would love to check out the mall. There will be a lot of children there since the store clerks give out candy. xD I'd like to see you in a Cleopatra costume. That would be interesting.

Thanks a lot! I feel a little better after reading your comment. :3 I'm happy that my low quiz grade didn't push me down to a B or a C. I'm still in the As~ ^{Lucky! No midterms for you! D:} And I'm so glad that I aced my English midterm! I had actually thought I would fail it. xD}

~SubtleQuirks Oct 25, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

Heck yes! I'm glad. xD

Oh man. You've never been trick-or-treating before? ): I think I do remember you mentioning that your parents don't celebrate it, but it still seems like something you should get to do at least once in your life. Unless you feel the same way. Hey, maybe when you're married and you have kids you can take them out and steal their candy! Lol! But I don't think our mall gives out candy, that's pretty bomb of your's. Here we do have trick-or-treating events for kids around town and at the schools but it's just not the same...

Yeees! That's the spirit! Always look at the bright side in college or else you'll never survive. Haha. Anyway, I'm just glad that your midterms are over at least. My finals are in the beginning of December and I'm getting pumped to have them out of the way so I can start my last semester for my AA. When does registration start for you for the spring semester? Mine is coming up in the next week or two, though I have to meet with an advisor to make sure things are set straight.

=Yumiko12345 Oct 26, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

_{|D

Yeah, it's true. I've never been trick-or-treating before. I've lived under a rock for most of my life. /shot Our family doesn't celebrate Halloween 'cause our religion is strictly against it but I can see why. I probably won't celebrate it in the future. Maybe just give out candy to the kids that come over. I'll guess their costumes while passing out the goodies! |D I know! I love our mall! Does your school do things for Halloween/fall holidays?

That's good advice to give. XD I hope you don't overwork yourself trying to study for those finals. I'll be cheering for you! I'm sure you'll pass! I believe it starts now and close sometime in November. I've selected my classes - though I might have to talk with a counselor, too - but I have to ask my mom about locking them in since she still insists on driving me to and forth from school.}

~SubtleQuirks Oct 26, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

Well I mean, when I "celebrate" Halloween, all I do is give out candy. It's not like I'm really into the occult or anything, haha. And I've never heard of a division of a religion being that strict against it but I suppose it makes sense when it comes to otherworldly forces, specifically acts of the devil and all that. But yeah, when I was a kid, and still to this day, Halloween was just all about handing out or getting candy and dressing up, nothing more. x3 And you know, I think my school actually does have events there - I saw that yesterday they had some sort of costume party. They also hold movie screenings and have game nights sometimes, I just never go since I'm so busy.

Psh. Studying for finals = the night before cram sessions! XD Of course I'll stress about it heavily right before I take it but I've never struggled with one horribly before. If I was really that concerned about my grade I would spend weeks making sure I knew every bit of the material. Luckily I don't psych myself out very often though. But yeah, counselors are great with making sure you're fulfilling all the required credits so you don't have to take certain classes twice. Plus, some courses don't cover gen ed stuff despite you thinking they do. :/

=Yumiko12345 Oct 27, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

_{Ah, I see. Sorry about the mix-up, then. Our family used to hand out candy to kids but I think that was just for one year. Then we started handing out brochures about why Halloween was bad. The kids didn't come back unfortunately. |D Wow, our schools must really love events! And I'm pretty sure the movies being shown will be scary. My school's gonna have a "ghost hunt" but I'd be too chicken to go. xD

Haha, I should've known you'll sail through this. You're like an expert on exams. xD I'd hate to have to take a course twice. That would be really boring. Dx}

~SubtleQuirks Oct 27, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

It's all goooood~ Haha. I can see why. I mean brochures wouldn't make me very happy if I was sugar-hungry kid on the prowl for candy. Once when I was trick or treating some lady handed out granola bars, and another one apples. Let's just say they were the most detested house in the neighborhood. xD And your school's event sounds so bombtastic. I'd love to go with a friend. Last year (I think), my friend took me to this 'haunted corn maze', where we had to find our way out in the dark with creepy guys stalking us and 'monsters' chasing us with chainsaws. So amazing.

Yeah it would. :/ It really sucks for GPAs, too, and since my scholarships ride on them, I would be screwed if I failed so hard I had to retake a course. And all that money wasted.

=Yumiko12345 Oct 27, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

_{Poor children. We only torture them with all these sugar-free goodies. |D Oh, man. I'd be screaming almost every second if I went to something like that. I'm sure my friends would hate me for it. xD

You're right. I'm hoping that my scholarship will hold me for next semester. I don't want to fail and lose that scholarship. D|}
