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:points: .
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

(This is not necessarily the order in which the sprites will be made.)

---

Hello, all!

First things first - thank you for viewing my journal,
and showing interest in my work!

Lately, my sprites (especially the Zelda series) have attracted way more attention than I thought they would.
I greatly appreciate that! :heart:
A couple of people have shown interest in requesting a custom sprite from me.

I want to give people the chance to win a free sprite from me.

So I'm setting up... a lottery.

If you want to participate, all you have to do is:
- leave a comment in this journal, and let me know what kind of sprite you'd like.
- Post at least one link to a reference picture/image.

There are a couple of things you can choose from:
- Characters from anime, games, comics, tv-series;
- Your Original Character (if there are no available reference pictures/images, a detailed description is a must!)
- Real life people (yourself, actors, singers, etc.)

I reserve the right to decline your entry.
I will be the one to choose the base.
Don't worry, I read into characters quite well, and usually end up choosing a suitable base.

Now for the lottery part of it all -
For every 10 requests, one request will be randomly selected, and sprited for free.

For example:
If there are 40 requests, four requests will be randomly selected out of all comments.
If there are 50 requests, five requests will be randomly...etc, etc. x3

As you'll understand, you're only allowed to post one request.
Requests will be accepted for TWO WEEKS DAYS (I will close this first thing on Sunday morning).
(Changed it, because of the overwhelming interest. x3
If I let this thing go on for two weeks I'll be spriting a hundred things...)
There may be a second lottery later.

If you have a question, feel free to ask.
If you're unsure of what I can do, please check out my gallery.

But please, don't be mad if your sprite wasn't selected.
I assure you that I'm trying to keep it as fair as possible, and it's all for good fun, right? : D

REQUESTS MADE SO FAR: 63
LUCKY PEOPLE: There are 6 winners!

XxZakafeinXx - OC Anex
FifthAlice - James (Rune Factory Oceans)
100millionme - Female elf/fairy
xSatashi - Fyore (oracle)
Vulpixi-Misa - Uzumaki Naruto, Shippuden Sage mode
Kmi7 - OC Frabbel

Thank you for reading!

Haha well I need to recover from the first lottery first. xD
Making those six sprites was a lot of work, but there'll definitely be another lottery at some point.

(Can't promise you when, though!)

I'm glad to hear you're so enthusiastic!
