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.

IMPORTANT: Please be sure to state what you did

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

I know I am a bit late but...YOU GUYS

Share your pain!

Journal Entry: Fri Mar 23, 2012, 2:27 AM

Fun piece of irrelivent trivia about me. I have been feeling rotten for a while...turns out one of my wisdom teeth is infected and I now have to get all four of them removed.

I have also opted for local anaesthesia and sedation so the recovery time is shorter

^{And I am a total wierdo and I will likely enjoy the procedure..}

Share your wisdom teeth stories with me

or anything dental? Was it under local or general? and how long did it take to recover?

~TheRobberBaron Apr 6, 2012

When I was a kid, I went to the dentist to get a loose tooth removed and while waiting for the procedure to start, I wiggled the tooth a bit with my tongue and it popped out right there in the dentist chair. Needless to say they didn't charge us for the visit and I got to stay home that day from school without actually needing anything done

~Adara011 Apr 5, 2012

I had mine pulled years ago. I was under general anaesthesia and it was horrible when I woke up but I don't know about local. I've had that a few times on small stuff just make sure you can't feel it before they start. Get the magic bullet blender or something like it so that you can blend food easily and eat. It took 3 days or so before I started eating solid food. Make sure you have plenty of pain killers!!

~Yukihana-chan013 Apr 3, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Youre not the only weirdo i kinda enjoyed my root canal procedure, though i didnt enjoy the weird smell when they drilled in my tooth or the pain in my jaw after 2 hours of keeping my dislocated jaw open~

~monkiey Apr 1, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I had my wisdom teeth taken out before they grew in because they would have messed up the 5-years of straightening my teeth with braces :P

It took about 4 weeks for me to finally open be able to open my mouth all the way.
I wasn't allowed to drink through a straw...which wasn't bad. About a week and a half after the operation I did use a straw by accident but I caught myself. Nothing bad happened though.
I didn't have many problems with bleeding, and as long as I ate slowly, everything was fine.

I suggest for the first day and beginning of the second day use ice packs. Then start alternating hot and cold packs. It feels really really good on the jaw and keeps swelling and pain down. (You'll need two pairs of ice packs, one to freeze and one to heat up)

~TheOtherSarshi Apr 1, 2012

I had all 4 wisdom teeth full of cavities.

3 got their asses drilled like no tomorrow. One just got pulled out, with local anesthetic. I spent 2 hours or so squeezing down hard on it with a bit of whatchumacallit-clothy thing to stop the bleeding. It hurt that night enough for me to grab a pain pill (I had it done in late afternoon, so that's about 3-4 hours later). I was fine two days later and I didn't brush around the area for a few days just to be sure I'd be fine and didn't accidentally start bleeding again.

The most annoying dental thing was one of the teeth being so horribly affected by a cavity that the nerve from inside had to be removed. That was long and annoying and painful - a lot more than having teeth pulled out. Painful because cleaning out the nerve from the canal is fucked up when it's supposed to be dead, but isn't really, so the dentist accidentally stabs it with the cleaning needle. And the killing procedure isn't nice and pleasant either.

My mum had an extra tooth growing in her mouth that the dentist said hadn't existed in human beings for tens of thousands of years, except the rare unlucky individual. She had it pulled out, which would've been so much better had the dentist not ignored the fact that she was complaining the anesthetic hadn't kicked in - so she got it removed live.

I once had a baby tooth removed just under numbing spray. It was rotten, not about to fall. Don't do that. Bad idea. If the tooth hangs on and it needs to be pulled just a little longer the numbness goes away too fast.

doesn't hurt until the gas wears off and then comes: drooling everywhere until you dont need the gaz any more...as you can tell I did not enjoy one bit of it except not seeing/feeling it until afterwards

~aquadragon752 Mar 27, 2012

i'm getting all mine out april 12... ;.;

~danujadevil Mar 27, 2012

I actually loved goin to the dentals...lots of cute guys and dentists. hehe... I had frequent trips there when i was still wearing my braces...well, I'm supposed to be wearing it now too, but arggh, i missed my dental appointment once and kept replacing it then until i just completely forgotten bout it. THANK YOU STUPID BUSY ART COURSE, ruined my time management for my whole organized life...anyway, there's once when i had these weird extra tooth behind my front teeth, it didn't hurt that much when they took it out coz there were pain killers. So yeah, chill, it's not gonna hurt that bad, i guess...

!Namida1551 Mar 27, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I've chipped every single one of my wisdom teeth.. *3*
One day, I was eating my rice in the morning with some fish, and I supposed I might have crunch on a bone and chipped a wisdom tooth.
After that, my mom looked at it and saw that I had chipped every single one, and the top, farthest on the left side is chipped the worst, with half of it still there along with the other half's base.
Getting em all fixed next week too

Sad thing is though I gave up sweets, watch how much sugar I consume, and the acid I consume as well (I'm IN LOVE with Fruits.. bad choice for teeth enamel..).

~Tessiie Mar 27, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

...I suppose this can be considered dental, since it's in my mouth.

I have to wear a retainer, and there's this little piece of plastic hanging off of it that's irritated the inside of my lip. There's a sore there now, and it gives me excruciating pain when I move my lip or touch it. I haven't worn the bottom piece to my retainer for days. XD It's not as big as it used to be, but it still hurts. So I'm just leaving it alone, because I can't stand putting anything in my mouth that I can't chew or swallow. It's wierd, and I go through so much just trying to tolerate my dang retainer. XD
