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

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.

Nintendo STEALS Money!Since this has been going around lately, I should probably give my two cents. Basically what it amounts to is that Nintendo has filed Content ID info of their games with YouTube. What this means is that if you upload gameplay video of a Nintendo game, YouTube will automatically monetize that video, put ads on it, a link to where to buy the game, and take the money generated from that video and give it directly to Nintendo. People who do "let's play" videos are, naturally, pissed off because they want to be earning money off their videos, so they're calling Nintendo "thieves" for doing this.
I can see both sides to the story. I can see Nintendo as a corporation wanting to exercise control over their properties. On the other hand, "let's play" videos can often help new gamers find games they otherwise wouldn't have tried.
But here's the thing: Nintendo isn't the first company do this. Both Microsoft and Ubisoft do it already. YouTube has also had a long history of having music videos and

Journals / Personal

Hey everybody, the 2nd issue of The Official Handbook of the Invincible Universe will be on shelves at your local comic book shops Wed. the 24th of Jan! A whole host of the most incredible artists, illustrators and animators in the business provide all new original art to a comprehensive encyclopedia of the characters, places and events from the wicked fun Image comic book series Invincible, written by Walking Dead author Robert Kirkman and drawn by Deviant arts own Ryan Ottley!
Artists from Deviant in the second issue include-

As before, please let me know what you think if you happen to pick it up, and if you can't find it or issue #1, please check out Diamond Distributors on the web or ask if your local shop wouldn't mind ordering some for ya! It was a blast to put this sucker together and I hope everyone enjoys it. Its also an excellent way to get caught up with the series so you can begin reading the book with this wed. new issue 38 without having to commit to getting all the trades first, although i guarantee once you give the book a shot you'll want to read it all from the beginning regardless!

p.s. Don't forget to pick up the Low Orbit Anthology on Wed. as well, its full of sweet goodness by a handful of Deviantarts most talented folks!

Awesome! I just got my comps Dusty! Kick ass. It's definitely better than the last. I like the drawing by Tim Divar, the one of my Robot redesign. Looks killer. And that Skycycle is just too cool for words. The Gaurdians pin-up was the my favorite of the book though, nicely done sir Abell.

*dusty-abell Jan 26, 2007 Filmographer

thanks ryan, i really had a blast putting together an homage to one of my favorite books when i was a kid and the fact i got to use all the sweet characters from your book was icing on the cake, eliots piece was so cool, its one of my favorites because that is just so 1983 era handbook! the jam came out looking really tight, heck the whole book looks awesome and boy dies image put together a solid package, the art reproduced just amazingly. i hope that the handbooks will find their way into the back of the forth hardcover, that would be cool indeed. looking forward to issue 39!

~WyA Jan 26, 2007 Professional Artist

Well I do know these will NOT be printed in the Hardcovers but they don't need to be anyway, they rock separately just fine. The HC's would be WAY too expensive if we reprinted all that extra material. We are lucky you did this though, it's been great seeing such a huge mix of pros on this thing. Mind-blowing.

~Arthammer Jan 25, 2007

Got mine yesterday...I'll tell you what I thought of it later...

*dusty-abell Jan 25, 2007 Filmographer

sweet!

*KevinGentilcore Jan 25, 2007 Professional Digital Artist

Just picked this up. Great as always. i like the fact that you have artists showing the characters rather than just taking pics from the book. Keep it up man! Love the work!

*dusty-abell Jan 25, 2007 Filmographer

thanks funk, i'm really happy to hear ya liked it, any favorites?

*KevinGentilcore Jan 25, 2007 Professional Digital Artist

As always the covers are fantastic! I am a Skottie Young fan so I like his to. Also the Reanimen by Tom Perkins and Cecil by David Hartman. Not to overlook everybody's contribution because I feel like this book is very well done and given a treatment that most books like this don't really get.

~themightyflog Jan 24, 2007

got it!! It's great!

~MagnumT Jan 22, 2007 Hobbyist General Artist

Hooray!

It'll come out late over here, for obvious reasons, but either way it's been on my list for quite some time now. The first one was great, so I assume the second one will be just as good
