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?)

800 Points GiveawayHello all. As I've mentioned in the poll, I am going to make a small giveaway on the occasion of nearly 1000 watchers! Wooo!
There are 8 winners and 100 points for each to win. BUT the giveaway ends when the number of watchers reaches 1000.
RULES:

To enter, fave this journal and comment below that you've faved it. Then I will give you a number.

You don't need to watch me to enter. But please keep in mind that the giveaway ends sooner when
there are more watchers.

Your account must be at least 2 months old.

You can enter once only. No alternate/plz accounts.
I will choose winners with random.org.
♣ Good luck! ♣
Minor update: changed from 1111 to 1000 watchers.

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

A Moment To Ehhhhh~

by ~fishtalkcomics, Feb 18, 2013, 5:41:16 PM
Journals / Personal

Have you ever just stopped for a moment to just take it all in? By "all" i mean your current state in life, and how it compares to a previous state before, and what it will possibly lead to. As many of you have noticed I have been inactive on DA for quite awhile. About a little over a year or so. So what is my "state" now compared to a year ago? Concerning to say the least. Not sure why but i haven't Hanna's slightest of what I want to do with my life. I'll be turning 22 in roughly 4 months. Time is passing, friends coming and going, experiences experienced, ideas thought, and I'm not sure what i have to show for it. I see close friends, family members, acquaintances, significant others, and everyday Earl's going about their life. I see them pursuing their goals, working to make a living, making their deadlines, and starting that mad dash towards their adult lives. But I'm nt running with them. I'm kinda just in the crowd BS-ing around. Not really sure what i want to do years from now, down the road, next month, or tomorrow. Just sitting there in the crowd watching everyone run, thinking to myself "Must be nice, wish i could join them, I'm just not that much of a runner."

Still don't really know what I'm doing or what i want to do. I act like I'm still in Jr/Sr High School, when I should be acting like I'm in college. Instead of 21 going on 22, I'm more like 21 going on 16. But what can be done? Ehhhh~

So yeah anyways like i said before trying to put more comics and sketches up on DA hoping for at least something every week. I want to start a new strip as well we'll see what comes of that. Hope that wasnt all gloom and doom for ya'll haha just a little Ehhhh~ feeling :/ hmmmm need something to cheer things up...

~cardgames33 Feb 24, 2013

was awesome to see you last weekend

i kinda know how you feel. you can talk to me about anything! and i'll always be you're good friend ^_^

*MrWolfeConcoctions Feb 19, 2013 Professional General Artist

Thank you kindly for that.

~fishtalkcomics Feb 20, 2013

no problem

~nicolemhamilton Feb 18, 2013 Professional Filmographer

Thanks for the shoutout. DONT WORRY YOUR FEELINGS ARE 100 PERCENT NORMAL. I just got outta school and I'm still on campus because the cost of living is pretty cheap. I split an apartment with my boyfriend. Money's been very hard to come by for me.. MY DEGREE was 99% worthless (but the cost was 99% expensive) so I've left the disheveled entrails of a program with basically no actually useful knowledge other than the formatting dimensions for decent video production.

My CORE knowledge didn't even come from my main department! I luckily took a class outside that taught me way more..

I went into it excited to use the facilities there to make films (which is what I did, and did a lot!) so that was at least the best part.. but films don't pay the bills (yet.) All I can say is just.. do what you have to do to be happy. Don't just rot.. and NEVER COMPARE YOURSELF IT'S THE WORST THING EVER I DO IT ALL THE TIME. I've been breaking my neck trying to get my image and promo material out there and I'm still at the beginning stages-- something I SHOULD'VE had it school but just couldn't get together (even though I had a whole 'class' on it).

What am I getting on about... jusstt don't put yourself in that hole. I've got friends who are going places and knocking on doors I've only dreamed of just attempting to do... and that's on them, and it's on me for not doing it. Dont beat yourself up but don't mope around either-- if you want something.. sometimes even minimal effort is enough. At least you tried right?

~fishtalkcomics Feb 20, 2013

thankyou for that

i just had one of those days it's always reassuring when you know that you aren't the only one who feels the way you do

~SakataBluemoon Feb 18, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

It'll all work itself out. And it will be fine.

Good to see you again, it's been awhile but never mind that, your comics are still as entertaining as ever.

~fishtalkcomics Feb 20, 2013

thankyou

and it has been too long glad to be back

~AniMerrill Feb 18, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

This is me a couple months ago, except now I'm 22 and a college dropout barista who's probably TOO grown up compared to a lot of my friends. So for what its worth, I know that feel bro.

Nice to see you back on dA though. If I didn't have so much on my plate I might rejoin the comic scene here.

~fishtalkcomics Feb 20, 2013

Thankyou and i know that feeling i just had to kinda sit down and say i'm going to start being more active on here again. I think it's worth it to sometimes. You meet great people and get to express yourself to people with common interests
