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?)

My "already not checked often and filling up" inbox got spammed like no tomorrow! >_>; I'm going to cry ;_;...At one instance I'm honored I got chosen for a DD...but in another sense I don't 100% agree that the Garden of Dreams piece deserves a DD since that year old piece wasn't in my favor

The horrors of past work comes haunting me X_X But I appreciate both ~sashi-sushi for nominating me and `Marker-Guru for giving me the DD. Now I gotta take the time to actually clear out my inbox properly...

In other news it is official. I will not be attending AN this year. And I was looking forward to seeing a lot of people there and selling some new cute buttons and mousepads. We'll see how well things go for the CNAnime con in August.

Work has kept me busy but my freelancing is slowing down a little (I don't mind since my carpel was being strained because of it). My mother bought me a brace for my wrist in order for me not to strain it but it's hard for me to use the mouse when I wear it @_@ Ahhh...well other than that I'm fine and dandy. Will get to everyone who's watched/faved me ASAP O_O

~shambolic-art Jun 3, 2007 Professional General Artist

ugh, i have carpel tunnel as well, also brought on by too much mouse work. but the pain is almost all gone - since i started using my wacom for all my art, and desktop navigation.

it takes a while to get used to, but my hands dont hurts so much and thats the most important thing.

i also have a vertical mouse which i use when needed

[link]

~GenevieveGT Jun 22, 2007

I use my left hand to draw and my right to use the mouse so I've been trying to use my tablet at home to do the same thing whenever I can, however it seems I'm straining both after a certain point which makes it worse especially if it starts on my drawing hand.

Does the vertical mouse help you?

~shambolic-art Jun 22, 2007 Professional General Artist

the V-mouse did help to ease the straining in my wrist. if you need to use a mouse i would suggest the V-mouse. its not perfect (the wheel is abit sloppy) but its better than using a tracking ball mouse, or any other type iv tried.
the V-mouse also has a few extra buttons that can be used for short cuts ( like 'back' in internet ex etc )
for me, the worst pain would come after doing a lot of clicking with a (any) mouse... it would go from the finger to the back of my wrist. and it drove me nuts! using a wacom has stoped that... i havent used a mouse in months.
i hope you can find something that helps

~GenevieveGT Jun 22, 2007

Hmm...I have an optical mouse with a scroller and it does have a back and forward button on the sides. However since the shape is like a regular mouse it doesn't do well for my hand. I don't have the luxury of my tablet at work so that is a problem as well.

But thanks I hope so to.

*lstjules May 11, 2007 Professional Digital Artist

you're not attending Anime North either. i hope it goes well in august though...i won't be at that one either. hopefully i'll be able to go to anime north next year and see you too...if you do go also in 2008

~GenevieveGT May 16, 2007

I'll be sure to try and get a table for AN 2008 so hopefully.

*lstjules May 16, 2007 Professional Digital Artist

me too...maybe if were lucky we'll be sitting close again.

~SlavePrincess May 10, 2007

congrats on the DD
don't know if you have one but a tablet can help reduce the pain in your hands

~GenevieveGT May 10, 2007

I do but I don't use it for everyday surfing and clicking only for drawing. And I don't have a tablet at work which requires me to click constantly.

~SlavePrincess May 10, 2007

hmmm... maybe an ergonomic mouse would help, [link]
I've been getting pains in my wrist and forearm lately too, I want to get a mouse like that or maybe a wrist band - but my hands are tiny - gotta find the right one.. hope it gets better soon
