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:points: .
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?)
Draw a
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:
:bulletred: To enter, fave this journal and comment below that you've faved it. Then I will give you a number.
:bulletred: You don't need to watch me to enter. But please keep in mind that the giveaway ends sooner when
there are more watchers.
:bulletred: Your account must be at least 2 months old.
:bulletred: You can enter once only. No alternate/plz accounts.
I will choose winners with random.org.
♣ Good luck! ♣
Minor update: changed from 1111 to 1000 watchers.
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. :D

News + Netherbird +edit (in french sorry)

Journal Entry: Mon Dec 4, 2006, 2:00 AM
Hello dear dev'Artists and friends,


How are you going ???

Always my cold ... I feel so tired all the day, it is boring 'cause I don't succeed to stay the necessary time on photoshop to finish the image I'm working. And it is the same for the "homeworks" of my formation. Well, I just wait, in 2 or 3 days I'll feel better =)

I hope tomorrow I'll have news from the band who contacted me !!!

Oh and do you remember the artwork I made for the band Netherbird ? :



Their website is officially open : NETHERBIRD.COM


I wish you a lovely week end :blowkiss:




Here the pics of the Iron Maiden concert !!

I'm so sorry that I couldn't take better pics =( ...




Much love.
:heart:


Pfiou ... j'suis désolée mais j'ai besoin de l'écrire là ... J'en peux plus ! Je reviens de mon entretien mensuel à l'anpe, je suis démontée ... J'ai envie de pleurer ... J'vois pas la fin du tunnel. Je demande si je peux faire des formations, ou prendre des cours d'anglais mais il n'y a rien. Et ma conseillère m'a déjà dit 50 000 fois qu'elle n'y peut rien. Personne n'y peut rien. La région finance des formations en rapport avec le boulot qu'il y a ... le bâtiment ... Ou alors m'a-t-elle dit, il faut que j'aille en faire à Troyes par exemple, c'est à 100 bornes, j'suis en fin de droit, j'ai même pu les moyens d'être chômeuse ... parceque oui ça coûte cher d'être au chomage ... J'veux pas redevenir dépendante financièrement de mes parents ... En plus on n'est pas dans le bonne "zone sociale' ...
J'vais m'retaper des courriers aux supermarchés, que mettre dedans ? En plus ils ont déjà mon CV en 10 exemplaires .. Si j'étais un gars, j'aurai déjà un taf ...
Comment j'vais payer ma formation ? Puis je commence à me dire que j'ai eu tort de la commencer ... J'vivrai jamais de mes images ...
J'en peux plus ... franchement, ça devient dur ... surtout que je gère tout ça seule sans réel soutient ...
Désolée de mes plaintes, désolée de l'écrire là ...

Mélanie.

Hum j'avoue que même si on ne se connaît pas personnellement j'ai l'impression d'être déjà passée par des sentiments de grand découragement qui ressemblent beaucoup aux tiens...

Idem pour moi : pas moyen de se faire payer une formation quand j'en aurais eu besoin, pas d'écoute de l'ANPE, fins de mois oplus que difficiles qui me font cherche un taf à côté...

Pourquoi tu ne te tournes pas vers des sociétés de portage salarial ? Elles permettent de vivre légalement de tes créations sans justifier de diplômes ou de formations artistiques...Bien sûr au début on rame (je rame ^^) mais au moins tu peux te permettre de démarcher des clients potentiels...Chui toujours là si tu as besoin d'en parler :hug:

Alors c'est une société qui te permet de proposer tes services (ici de graphiste mais ça marche pour plein de trucs comme le conseil, la traduction, ou n'importe quel service aux personnes et entreprises). Pour faire simple c'est comme une boite d'intérim qui te permet de trouver tes propres clients, et d'exercer comme si tu étais indépendante. Le seul hic c'est que la boîte s'empoche 50 % sur ce que tu factures...ça refroidit un peu mais si tu étais en indépendante ou entreprise individuelle tu toucherais à peine plus.
Le shéma c'est : tu trouves un client, vous fixez un prix pour le boulot, tu lui fais signer un bon de commande, le client paye la boite de portage qui ensuite te reverse un salaire d'environ 50%. Sur une pochette à 800 € tu touches 400 €, tout en sachant que la boite peut prendre en compte tes frais d'electricité et d'abonnement internet...
Pour l'instant j'ai tous les papiers pour commencer...mais il me faut un client en France, car pour l'étranger je ne sais pas si ça peut marcher...
Si ça te dit je peux te passer les papiers de ma boite ou tu peux les contacter, je te filerai leur contact, c'est très sérieux, vraiment c'est une solution idéale pour tester une activité.
Du coup tout est déclaré et légal, c'est sans souci.

*MySweetDarkness Dec 4, 2006
Ah oui alors ça m'intéresserait que tu me passes les papiers ... C'est toujours mieux pour débuter d'être un peu cadrer ... en tous cas j'aurais un peu moins peur ..
En plus déclaré, c'est bien ... mais si tu n'arrives pas à te faire d'argent ? tu as des aides qd meme ? 'fin j'demande ça pour rien vu que mon chomage se finit début Janvier ...

Après je ne suis pas tout à fait dans la même situation que toi, mais tant que tu ne dépasses pas un certain plafond fixé par les ASSEDIC tu n'as rien à craindre et tu ne perds pas tes droits...De toute façon en débutant on ne peut guère espérer gagner des cent et des mille...

Le problème c'est plus de trouver les clients qu'autre chose. Il faut batailler, faire de la pub, se faire connaître, et c'est là le plus dur...
Après le marché est là, il y a de la demande de la part des groupes mais tu sais comme moi que toutes les requêtes de groupes n'aboutissent pas toujours :/

La meilleure solution seloin moi est de cumuler des revenus d'un petit job comme un mi temps avec les revenus déclarés par la boîte de portage...Afin de s'assurer quand même un revenu mensuel fixe ! Mais je ne te cache pas que c'est très chaud ! Moi, même dans une grande vile comme Bordeaux je ne trouve rien, malgré mes diplomes et mon expérience professionnelle (dans le tourisme)...

Tu peux déjà te renseigner ici [link] et auprès de la boite que j'ai choisie ici [link]

Oui je pense que la taille des villes n'est plus vraiment le problème en matière de difficulté de recherche d'emploi :(
