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?)

800 Points GiveawayHello all. As I've mentioned in the poll, I am going to make a small giveaway on the occasion of nearly 1000 watchers! Wooo!
There are 8 winners and 100 points for each to win. BUT the giveaway ends when the number of watchers reaches 1000.
RULES:

To enter, fave this journal and comment below that you've faved it. Then I will give you a number.

You don't need to watch me to enter. But please keep in mind that the giveaway ends sooner when
there are more watchers.

Your account must be at least 2 months old.

You can enter once only. No alternate/plz accounts.
I will choose winners with random.org.

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

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

my mailbox is tired.

Journal Entry: Sat Feb 5, 2011, 7:46 AM

this is going to sound really jerky, but I wish there was a way to shut down my notes inbox. i get so tired of getting notes, constantly asking me for permission for all kinds of things. I wish people could just stick to using my photos on deviantart only. right now i'm just letting it build up because I don't feel like answering. bleh!
**Also, i really don't appreciate when people just send me links to where they used my photos outside of deviantart, without ever asking me beforehand. It's just a lack of respect to me. Everytime I think about all of this crap I just remember how I do this for free and it just makes me want to close up shop.

Alright sorry for my bitching!

STOCK USE RULES

(i know it looks like a lot, but c'mon, they're common sense i do something for you, you do something for me, that's how this works

)

1. YOU MUST MUST MUST LINK AND CREDIT ME (link meaning send me an actual link and put an actual link back to me on the deviation, DO NOT JUST TYPE IN MY NAME-THE LINK IS CRUCIAL) and let me know you've used one of my images. I really will hunt you down if you don't If you are unsure of how to properly link to deviants, please refer to the FAQ [link] it will tell you everything you ever needed to know.

2. Please do NOT use my stock in any inappropriate works, NOTHING sexual, hateful, or racist. However, horror and macabre stuff is just fine, i love it.

3. Retouching and using my photos as a reference is fine, but just changing a photo to black&white, upping the contrast, overlaying a photoshop filter, etc. is NOT a manipulation and i have the right to ask you to remove any works that I feel do not constitute a true photomanipulation.

4. PLEASE ASK ME VIA A NOTE BEFORE ANY OFF-SITE USE OF MY STOCK. IF IT IS GOING ON A WEBSITE, PLEASE SEND ME A LINK TO THAT SITE

5. Don't send me any inappropriate requests (i.e. nudity, etc...not happening).

6. Please keep stupid, inappropriate comments such as OMG UR SO HOTT to yourself. Also, people with foot fetishes-you can take your fetishes elsewhere, YOUR COMMENTS ARE NOT WELCOME ON MY PAGE.

7. Deviantart prints of your work that used my stock are fine and you don't need to ask permission.

9. YOU MAY NOT SUBMIT YOUR WORK USING MY PICTURES INTO THE PHOTOGRAPHY CATEGORY. IT IS MY PHOTOGRAPHY, NOT YOURS.

awesome stock:

~Poisoner Feb 6, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Honestly, I like your photos. I have only used one but I have an appreciation for what you do. I would say frankly fuck the people who burden you with messages all the time but then again I think most people want to credit your excellent stock photography. I suppose it is the give and the take. Either way, well done on your art form. I, for one, truly appreciate the images that you work so hard to provide. It is an art amongst itself. Cheers!

*Tasastock Feb 6, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

yeah i want to know what it is about notes that are so much more tiresome than comments..

and i hate that. but everytime i think about shutting my account down, someone links me to some amazing artwork using my stock and im like, no, its ok. the good outnumbers the bad.
then i imagine knocking on the idiot-who-wont-read-rules' door and torching them with a flamethrower. and aaaaaall is ok

~rammkitty-stock Feb 6, 2011 Professional Photographer

hhaha yes i have the same problem! i'll think alright! this is it! not doing it anymore! but then i see all the pretty things people make..

=Renilicious Feb 6, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Well... your rules say to send you a note to ask permission for offsite use. One would have thought you would appreciate the fact that people are asking permission. At least they are being polite. If you don't want to allow it, update your rules. Otherwise... well, it comes across that you're complaining that people are doing the right thing. (NO, I don't mean to be snarky, it's just an observation.)

Mind you, it won't stop people from doing precisely what they want. I know it's never stopped me - not that I have posted anything anywhere except a personal blog.

Just a thought, you know? I'm a stocker and I know how it feels when people don't do the right thing. Then again, I've lightened up a lot recently. So long as people are showing me what they're doing, I don't really care what they use my stuff for.

~rammkitty-stock Feb 6, 2011 Professional Photographer

yes i know. i should update my rules. and yes, i am just simply complaining. i've been doing this for so many years now, it's just starting to get tired, and no longer fun and exciting. you reach a point where you just get tired of being used.

~catlickfever Feb 5, 2011 Digital Artist

Please don't close up shop.

I really hate notes honestly. I only use them when required by stock providers or in a group I help out in. That's it.

*KikuFire Feb 5, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

I'd really hate to see you close up shop, your stock is very good and you do a bunch of good themes and angles. More time then not, while searching though your gallery i get inspired to do something with it, and I'd hate to loose that

and you! lol

As for all those notes, maybe we could submit a thing to the DA site for those who go about creating new things to add to the site in general, and they should have a 'ask permission' button or something, that you could easily just click 'accept/decline' on, such like for critiques or club submission requests. Something that would be easier on stock makers

Sounds like a good idea, no?

~eartianwerewolf Feb 5, 2011 Student Traditional Artist

Maybe change the rule to just on DA. Do not even bother noting to ask me to use it off site. ?

*lenlenlen1 Feb 5, 2011 Professional General Artist

Easy fix: Post your rules on each of pics. I know it sucks and it's gonna take a minute, but then eveyone will know.

*yatesmon Feb 5, 2011

It is silly that these people do that..I've always used your great stock, here, only on DA....it's in the rules....& I've never understood why people download other's stock photo's & re-upload them as their own photographs...do their brains not understand the concept of owership???
