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

It Only Gets Better.

Journals / Personal

Hey there all you incredible creators! So as some of you may know, I was recently contacted by DC comics, and now Im finally one of their cover artists

. Ive officially completed my very first DC cover for Power Girl a lil while ago, which is currently an inventory cover - kept until the perfect spot arrives. At the moment I can't give you any info about its usage, although there is talk about it being possibly used on a trade paperback collection of Power Girl stories. A soon as they let me know exactly what's happening with it, I'll fill you guys in!

Now this was pleasant surprise. I was contacted by ImagineFX to be their "Artist in Residence" for their upcoming issue 58 - The Manga issue! This will be the first time my base of operations will be revealed to the public. This issue will be going on sale in the UK 1 June and around a month later in the US.

Now for those of you looking for some advanced inspiration about reality, which includes all areas of how to better approach everything for more positive results, read what I have to share with all of you in my deviations:

• Your Key To Infinity - [link]
• Dream Big - [link]

For those of you interested at all in my art philosophies and approaches to art in further detail, check out the insightful interview Hello-SouthAfrica did with me in late March 2009 - [link]

*WarrenLouw May 18, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

Thanks a lot Ravenskar

this is only the beginning! lol

~p-nut May 16, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

congrats, I'm happy

and you are "there"..., the funny thing is( not disrespecting any other just as great artists),i've always had my visioned team of devart people who i'm always like...."they NEED to be at MARVEL or DC ect ect", and....taken awhile but, it is happening, boarders and continents are not stopping people and compromises being made.
DC is at its artistic greatness.

dude, on the real, BIRDS OF PREY , powergirl and wonderwoman covers, get it done, its got to happen lol

take care

*WarrenLouw May 18, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

Thanks a lot! Well, mr. Artgerm is quite a way ahead of myself in terms of international success, but Im doing what I can to catch up

More of those DC girls will definitely be coming my way. So, I'm looking forward to see how I will give my own life to em!

*TheLangfordian May 16, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Awesome aWesome AWESOME dude! Can't wait to see that DC cover and that ImagineFX issue, pity we're behind in getting ImagineFX here, oh well, so's life. Congratulations! Can't wait to see what the future holds with your work.

~TonyV125 May 15, 2010

Congratulations! It is so well deserved.

You bring a tremendous amount of positive energy to the art community. It's always a joy to study your art, and your workshops/tutorials in ImagineFX and dA have been extremely helpful, AND the philosophies you've shared have been very uplifting and inspirational.

Thank you for all that you've given. I think I speak for all of us when I say I'm glad to see it being given back to you in this way.

Can't wait for IFX issue 58 to arrive in the mail

*WarrenLouw May 18, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

Thanks a lot

I really appreciate that! As far as I go, I'll keep on sharing the answers with you all

~psangoesdown May 15, 2010

~Sohmma May 15, 2010
