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

Too much to ask?

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 23, 2010, 12:44 PM

How much would you like to pay for a fully rendered comic page?

Okay... so I was going to be doing a 240 pg comic book for some gentlemen over in England... but they only wanted to pay me $3.50 a pg.

That is so not a enough!

Come on... If I was to spend 10-15 hrs a page and be paid that much for the whole page how am I supposed to make a living?

When I told them I was sorry and I couldn't work for less than $25 a pg, which is like barely $5 an hour, they told me they couldn't hire me in that case and that they would get an artist from their publisher.

If you are getting a published artist, isn't he/she going to cost a lot more than $25 a page?!

Gah.. so. One art job down the drain.

I'm so far behind on my Birthday presents.

They're coming guys!!!

I'm sort of sad that so many people here have no idea who he is.

Out of curiosity, I wonder how many people actually read my journals. If you do.. but don't want to write a long comment. Leave a Fruit. haha

For instance:: Apple, Banana, Kiwi.... etc.

Lol sounds like a scam to me...

~Annerb Mar 24, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Based on the fact that I have read the newest journal, I'm only going to say this in response:

Good things come to those who wait.

~GoldenFox123187 Mar 23, 2010 Student

AWW...

there, there I'm sorry you did'nt get the job but hang in there with your talent I'm sure something will come along you'll see ^^*

=xandria-tchebbi Mar 23, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Thank you sweety. I have my fingers crossed. I'm trying a bunch of different things right now, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

So what I'm doing, because that jerk turned me down, is that I'm doing my best to make your pages awesome so that he can see what he missed out on for not hiring me.

~GoldenFox123187 Mar 23, 2010 Student

THAT A GIRL!! XD I can't wait X3

~py-primal Mar 23, 2010

Haha, well you kow I'd be willing to commission for an art page because I was that first guy to ask as far as I know. XD
*needs to actually start writing scripts for that webcomic eventually.*

=xandria-tchebbi Mar 23, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

haha. Yeah. Thank you so much.

sorry I haven't called you back. I'm working at one job right now...not supposed to be on the computer. XD and getting ready to go to my other one. =3

That's exciting to hear! I can't wait to see what you come up with for your story.

~py-primal Mar 23, 2010

Ahh, alright.

Haha, yeah... the first page is going to end with a joke about The Dark Knight's take on superheroes... it's literally Ally before becoming Ally monologuing like he's about to jump down from a building in front of a mugger.... then getting hit by a dodgeball as it's revealed he was mentally preparing for gym class. XD

~Amneco Mar 23, 2010

Sweetie, you know you're already charging very low and quite fair for freelance, anyone who thinks you should charge less has no respect for art, artists or YOU in general. If he thinks he can threaten you to make you charge less, then he needs to take his head the hell out of his ass. Ridiculous! >( People are lucky you aren't charging more! Especially when you think of it being a comic. Was it a personal project or a commercial one? If commercial, you should be charging more and have royalties per print.

=xandria-tchebbi Mar 23, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

It was a personal project but he already had a producer ready to go. They were offering me 50% of the profits... but if I'm going to be working on this project for 12-18 months what kind of compensation am I looking for in that long a haul? And what is the guarantee that the book will even sell? I already work 40-60 hours a week just to stay afloat and if I took that job on I would be work 20-30 hours each week on the comic alone... practically for free. If he had been willing to pay me the price I had set I could've quit one of my jobs, preferably the sucky one. It just wasn't worth it in the long run. But I want to be published so bad.

I was actually charging him ALOT cheaper than any other self respecting comic artist would've. [link]

You actually think my art is worth more than I put it out to be?

luv you!
