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

Dog Bites And Contests

by *OgawaBurukku, Oct 27, 2010, 12:05:25 AM
Journals / Personal

My dog bit me Monday night (he got his foot stuck, panicked, and bit me several times when I tried to get him out... if he would have just SAT STILL it wouldn't have hurt! sheesh...), to the point where I probably should have gone to the hospital, so until the weekend all projects are kind of on hold. It's healing all right, it just hurts to do anything at all with my thumb. Thankfully it wasn't my drawing hand, and I don't use my left thumb for typing, but for everything else I'm pretty gimpy. I am doing sketches, just nothing more involved than that until it's healed a bit more.

I've decided I AM going to do an art contest again this year, but I'm not sure if I should open up a new group specifically for the contest or if I should just post it all here again. I got WAY more entries last year than I was expecting (40-something, when I was expecting maybe 12-15), so I think it would be more organized as a group, but what do you guys think? Do contest groups work out very well, or should I just host it on my site as I did last year?

And my emoticon refers to my injured thumb. Sorry if I've seemed emo lately with my emoticon choices, hee-yuck.

Happy Halloween everyone! I probably won't do anything since my birthday is two days later, and I'd rather spend money on an amusement park and delicious food than a silly costume and booze. Or maybe at nearly 27 I am just too much of a grandmother to enjoy going out the way I used to. Besides, Japan doesn't really celebrate Halloween anyway... you'd think we do because of all the Halloween related art you see from anime and manga artists, but it is a lie!

I'm sorry your hand got bitten.

I hope it feels better soon.

*OgawaBurukku Oct 28, 2010 Professional General Artist

Thanks

~ammar93 Oct 28, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Ouch..I hope your hand feels better soon!.I don't really do anything on Halloween either

. Early Happy Birthday anyways..and not to creep you out but you really don't look that old at all!

*OgawaBurukku Oct 28, 2010 Professional General Artist

Thanks and thanks again

I'm not creeped out, haha. In America I still get carded (my 23 year old brother doesn't), but here in Japan people tell me I look older. So I think that's one reason getting closer to 30 scares me >_<

~ammar93 Oct 28, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

you're welcome

lol Well don't people in that part of asia normally look really young until they get really old? I haven't been to Japan but I went to Singapore and well...I felt like my age might be wrong and I'm a lot older than them

*OgawaBurukku Oct 28, 2010 Professional General Artist

Yeah, I actually had to date guys who were ten years older than me for a while because when I was 22 guys my own age looked waaaay too young for me. The maturity level is also really different here, since guys who are 22 are usually still living with their parents and don't pay most of their bills. Heck, my 31 year old boyfriend still doesn't pay his phone bill or insurance himself, haha.

~ammar93 Oct 28, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Wow that must've been an interesting experience

. Hmm I always thought people were more mature and independent there! Well I guess the media can be deceiving lol..or I'm an idiot for thinking anime would actually portray Japanese society right

*OgawaBurukku Oct 28, 2010 Professional General Artist

Hahaha, nooo... you have to remember a huge chunk of anime is made by guys who project their fantasies upon their art (like women being sweet and demure here... AHAHAHAHA). That and Japanese are very two-faced... not everyone, but it is very hard to make really good friends with Japanese people (especially women for some reason) because they will tell you one thing and really mean something completely different. I just recently had to deal with a Japanese woman who takes advantage of EVERYONE she knows, and those people she uses are often fully aware of it and talk behind her back about her. They do her bidding, pretend they like her, and secretly hope somehow it will pay off in the end. Anime makes you think everyone is SUPER nice here, but a lot of times it's just a weird act. Again, not everyone, but I've seen it enough times that I have a hard time figuring out who my friends are and who is just using me. I think in my six years being here, I've only made three friends I would actually consider true friends I trusted.

On the flip side, sometimes they are overly up front with you even if you aren't very close. Japanese are very quick to point out if you've gained weight, and oddly enough one of the few things that IS like anime is how they will reach over and squeeze your boobs if they think you are a little big, most of the time without asking. It's like they don't have that tiny voice in their head that says "I think that is something you think rather than say or do." J-Dramas also depict a very different take on Japan than real Japan. I kind of wish Japanese people were more like their Drama and Anime counterparts, haha.

~ammar93 Oct 29, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Woah seriously!? I kind of know how hard it is to deal with people who only talk to you because they need something. Sometimes you think someone's your friend and then they just screw you over or ignore you after they get what they need. I guess that means a lot of asia is like that cuz its exactly the same where I am and I still have a really hard time figuring things out! Not everyone is like that but the majority is.

Um some people just reach out and grab you

? That's sexual harassment! It must be kind of awkward. So I guess that means all the Japan crazed foreigners actually like the one portrayed by anime? You must have some really interesting experiences

*OgawaBurukku Oct 29, 2010 Professional General Artist

I have been sexually harassed more times than I can count. My old boss, a 40-something male, once got drunk at the bar he owned and asked me if I had implants. As if that wasn't bad enough, when I wasn't looking he reached out and grabbed me to "make sure I wasn't lying". Real class-act.

Not all of anime is a total lie, but... it's definitely exaggerated. Most foreigners I've met who have lived in Japan for so many years say they are pretty disillusioned by the end.
