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

Advice and TutorialsSo this First Advice and Tutorial Journal will be on General Anatomy and Such. The second will be up to you so please comment below in what you think the next Advice and Tutorial Journal should be on.

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 things can come out of bad times

Listening to: I'm a Survivor
Reading: Batman: Battle for the Cowl
Watching: Young Justice: Invasion *Fangirling over Nightwing
Eating: Sausage and bread
Drinking: Iced Tea

Well last night...and over the past few days my dads been a grump. He's ulcers acting up so he gets grumpy (I told him not to put so much Chile in the hotsauce). Meaning maneuver #2 was put into action

What's maneuver#2 you ask? My brother and I barricading ourselves in our room.

So we did just that. My bro played Pokemon and I played the original Final Fantasy VII . Then the moment of truth finally appeared.

Never have I been so happy.

It was like awesome.

I grinned the entire time and laughed for a while too.

Felt a smidget bit sad for Cloud but not really.

Aerith died. Yep. I've finally made it to the infamous scene with Sephy stabbing her through the back and poof! The annoying, two timing, flower girl is out of my hair and no longer using Cloud, because he has the personality of her other boyfriend, my favorite/hero, Zack Fair. Ah I love you even more now Sephy/Jenova. Technically Jenova killed Aerith because she was using Sephiroth's form while the real Sephy is crystallized in Mako up at the Nothern Crater.

Another thing I found out....really creeped me out. Ilfana called the calamity (Jenova) a he . HE!!!!!!! Several times!!!!!!!!!!! So I was spazzing out and just over all in a flurry of spaz attacks.

=.= i too believe Aerith is just ... ugh OTL I can't help but dislike it when people pair her with Cloud, you know?
BUT i did like her a bit in Final Fantasy Crisis Core ^^" I support her with Zack and then Tifa with Cloud

BUT AGAIN Everyone has their different opinions on pairings haha XD

~AlexiatheHedgehog123 May 19, 2012 Student Writer

Finally! A fellow Aerith hater! OMG, I can't stand Aerith/Cloud!!!! I'm a CloTi all the way! They grew up together, Tifa's the reason Cloud left to join SOLDIER *well part of the reason* and that uber cute/sweet/romantic scene in Crisis Core when he's holding her at the bottom of the reactor?!

I think Zack and Aerith is cute. I think that's appropriate since they are boyfriend/girlfriend...but I really like Zack/Tifa too. I just over all can't stand Aerith.

=AppleRawr27 May 19, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Oh yes! I remember that part in Crisis Core ;u; haha i'll foreverlove Cloud and Tifa XD

~Dragonia27 May 18, 2012

Well, Jenova has the ability to shape shift so perhaps when Ilfana saw it, it was male. However, when the ShinRa scientists have her, she's most definitely a she.

I thought Jenova killed Aerith because she was the one person who could activate the Holy materia and counter Meteorite...._{Now I'm gonna have to go and play that thing again.}

~AlexiatheHedgehog123 May 18, 2012 Student Writer

I see. Whew. That took out a lot of confusion.

Haha, yeah you so have to play it! The whole reason I started was because I wanted to really know the characters outside of what I've read, watched and played *crisis Core*

~Dragonia27 May 18, 2012

I've played it through once but it's been a while. Maybe I'll play it again. I've got a friend who's played it 27 times because he wanted to beat Sephiroth with every possible team combination.

When I was playing, I wrote down most of what Sephiroth said because I was doing "research" into his past, movements, speech and thought patterns.

~AlexiatheHedgehog123 May 18, 2012 Student Writer

I see. Well I got the game a little before Christmas and I don't think I'm even halfway through! It takes a lot of time and skill, none of which I have. I'm lucky to have beat Crisis core in a month and a half and all by myself to boot!

I really should do the same with Cloud and the others...but I'm just so enamoured with it all I forget.

~Dragonia27 May 20, 2012

Yep. I get obsessive that way. If I'm gonna do something, I'm gonna do it right.

Time is hard to come by but the skill can be learned. I have faith in you.

It takes a lot of time. Besides, there's always the option to play it again.

~AlexiatheHedgehog123 May 21, 2012 Student Writer

I know exactly how that is. You have no idea how many hours I've poured over the FFVII Timeline just so I can figure out my oc's and cannon character ages! And a lot of the time the ages don't match up the way I want them to.

~Dragonia27 May 22, 2012

Yep. Trying to match to the timeline is a bit of a pain in the backside. I'm grateful I got a pull out one from the DoC book I ordered. It makes the referencing so much easier.

Usually I'm surprised to find that people are a lot younger than I thought they were.
