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?)

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

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

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

"Good news, everybody!"
One of my pictures was ~~stolen~~ used by unknown person for concert poster. And i am absolutely sure that i did not give any permission to use something in a such away.

Of course i am flattered that someone think that my work is good enough for such usage but ~~wtf?~~
Why do i know such wonderful news being last? I mean, where is my invitation to the concert??

Seriously, what should i do with such copyright violation?
Help?

The thing is, I make flyers and promotion materials my selfe and in most of the cases the organisors provide me the materials like pictures. I had a case against me, because of incorrect and illigal ussage of pictures. I did bring them in contact with the organisor. He did use a lawer in this case and he didn't had to pay a cent for using the pictures. IMHO I believe thats not correct, but he won, because the pictures were googled with a filter. and the pictures were found without license and stuff :-S

I never did an assignment for him again.

I only telling this, because it's not that easy to win a case like this. the internet makes our world bigger but also more acceseble for peeps who like to use all kinds of art for there own benefit without contacting or buying from the artist.

Greets,
Roy

only thing i want is the answer and exuses
if they asked me i could't say "no, never" but in such a way, no good words

of course i dream abput compensation but all depends on the answer, if they will be rude or not react at all - i'll find how to make their days not pleasant

~Speedpainter Oct 24, 2009 Digital Artist

And offcourse you're right dear, I would do the same I think.

Trouvez l'adresse d'instigateurs et envoyez-leur une facture regardante très officielle pour les services et le dessin-modèle. Rendez la quantité raisonnable et la chance est des sommes à verser de quelques comptes que le commis la payera juste ! Si c'est vraiment une grande quantité qu'ils arrêteront et demanderont à quelqu'un et vous n'obtiendrez rien.
J'ai fait cela pour certains annonçant pour une exposition d'art que je ne montrais pas dans mais ai fait quelques années avant. Quelqu'un sur leur personnel a trouvé mon dessin-modèle dans leur ordinateur et l'a juste employé ! Je ne me suis pas plaint, je leur ai juste envoyé une facture ! Et ils l'ont payé !

*mebyrne57 Oct 21, 2009 Professional Traditional Artist

Find the promoters address and send them a very official looking bill for services and artwork. Make the amount reasonable and odds are some accounts payables clerk will just pay it! If it is really a large amount they will stop and ask someone and you will not get anything.
I did that for some advertising for an art show I was not showing in but did a few years before. Someone on their staff found my artwork in their computer and just used it! I did not complain, I just sent them a bill! And they paid it!

*armene Oct 24, 2009 Professional Photographer

i've send some letters but have no answer yet

~richiexXxrodriguez Oct 21, 2009 Hobbyist Photographer

I think this is a great idea and would suggest it as well.

!Zebus0 Oct 20, 2009

Well imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, still don't know why people do that when they could just ask. Go get em'!

*armene Oct 20, 2009 Professional Photographer

too lazy

~BeepBeep100 Oct 20, 2009

Tbh I'm sure that you (like all other russian fellas) use stolen windows to work on PC, stolen photoshop or coreldraw to edit your photos, play stolen games (donloaded from internet), watch stolen movies etc. Do you really think that you have moral rights to complain about some poor romanian guys from amateur music group for using your picture?

I'm not trying to cause offence to you, just want to figure it out.
