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

I'm back!!!

Journal Entry: Tue May 29, 2012, 10:06 AM

Hello my dear friends!!! I'm back!!!

After a period of recovery from surgery on my left eye as you all probably know (The ninth of all my surgery),
I'm back in full force to take my commitment to this great group of members that each
day that passes we show more faithful to the group.

I and =PSHoudini always talk about how the members are committed to helping the group to grow and
we also talked about the style of friendship we see among our members, including administrators.

So my return to the group is to bring me this enormous satisfaction. During this break I realized that this
group is not equal to others, and I don't mean that we are better than other groups, after all our members
are also members or administrators of other groups. What I mean is that in any group I've ever known I
had the opportunity to see members so united, focused on community events and interact so deeply with
each other. It makes me very proud and very happy to be part of this great group.

It was because of this sense of felowship 3every30days, which is the same that clearly summarizes the
foundations of deviantArt relationship, that I received a treatment so caring during my recovery. And you
can believe I'll never forget it. I'm very happy to be so well treated by everyone and to see so many
messages of support and affection in the group. And also by the support I received by private messages.
I want deeply thank you all for it.

Know that you are not just people from across the world.
You are good friends I honestly learned to like, each in his way!

And if any of you still don't know me and never spoke to me ...
Hey, what are you waiting for? Are you trying to ignore me?

A big hug to the boys!!!

A big kiss for the girls!!!

Your friend

Samir

A little bit strange to say...but without your surgery, I probebly never had spoken with you on DA.
I read it whas your 9th....I realy hope it is the last one, and all goes well.
You have a great weekend

~SamirPA Jun 4, 2012 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Oh dear, I'm glad we met! Sometimes people working for years next to each other without ever talking!We were fortunate we met, and that's what matters!I'm very happy to have known you since you're a special person and very loving!

As my surgery, I've done nine, but one was a prosthesis in the femur of the right leg and I'm on the waiting list to the left leg. So is certainly not my last surgery.
But to be honest with you, it does not worry me. I'll tell you about my case if you have patience.

I went into the hospital emergency room raving at Carnival time and thought I was drugged. My mother was not allowed to spend the night with me and told me I had a brain tumor while I was still very ill and alone. I tried calling my mother, my father, my brother, but I don't remember the phone numbers and couldn't even dial. It was torture.Gradually I was improving and at some point in the evening I was conscious and knew what I had to tell my mother when she came in to see me in the morning. And it would not be easy. When I spoke, she collapsed.

It was then that everything change for me! I made a commitment that from now on I could never fail, get depressed or something, because I knew no sorrow or pain that I did transpire, it would be a pain multiplied a thousand for my family.My neurosurgeon asked me to go to the rooms of depressed patients to talk to them because they knew I could help. I ran the hospital with his head covered with stitches and bandages to support patients mostly with problems silmples than mine. And it became a great honor for me.

After I had recovered all thought impossible and always keep a good mood even though I don't pass a day without pain.

I wanted to tell you all this to tell you that even if this was my ninth, tenth or twentieth surgery, the only thing you can't miss is the sound mind!
I've always heard that no matter what problem we have, the important thing is being healthy.Today I can say I don't care if I don't have health care, since I have a healthy mind and clear thoughts.
The day that I miss I want to turn off the machines.But for now everything is going well within my limitations.

Sorry for this huge text but I would not write if I thought it was in vain. I know you're a person who gives value to things or would not return my comments. I am very grateful for your kindness rare.

A big kiss and thank you for being this incredible person!

Firt...I'm half Englisch but my writing skils are not so good..sorry for that

I read this yesterday om my phone in the car...and when I read it I got tears in my eyes.
Not only because It's a sad story,but also a verry couragous one.
My respect for you....yes I mean this!
You stil help other people...dispite your one problems and pain. Not many people will ore can do that.
Yes you are right....a clear mind is maby the most presious thing a human can have. I think you appreciate the more important things in life, than a person who thinks he/she got everything.
But still....it's not funny what you are going tru .
I hope you have many good days....also for your family....they are having a hard time to!
I only can send you good vibes....and I realy hope you have a good day today. Every good day is one to be happy with!
Take good care of yourselve....and if you will,you always can let me know how you are doing.
Greatzzz...from the other side of the world, and a big hug.

Hoe that the eye surgery went well and you will need no more of them

I had cataract surgery done on both eyes in late winter due to eye injuries. I see color as it really is for the first time in maybe twenty years.

My best to you.

~SamirPA Jun 4, 2012 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Hey, I'm really very happy to hear about your improvement!

Hope everything is great with you now!

I'm recovering well and I believe that everything will be alright. Thank you for contacting and talk about your case. Please keep in touch!

A big hug!!!
