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.

Devious Journal Entryokay, i kinda have to say something....
some rumors have been going around that im homophobic (??) and i try to hide behind people, and im full of myself and that i hate you all and i manipulate you guys??????
im mean you can say what you want but let me tell you the real true me:
Hello, I am Emma i am 19 going on 20 in a few months. I am Pansexual (if you don't know what that is here is a link to the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansexuality) I am super bad at talking to people because of my anxiety and claiming to have a disability is not my way of shutting you guys out, I'm trying i really REALLY hard at making friends and being more social and im going to start being more social with you guys from now on this popularity kinda snuck up on me and i really had nothing to say because i was so "socially retarded" is a good way to put it. I have faith in my art, i use it as a way of expressing myself and paying homage to my favorite subject: creepypasta. man do i love creepypa

Wow okay you know whatSome of you people are rude as fuck commenting on my drawings.
Just because I'm gay doesn't make me fucking special, and anyone else. OH WOW YOU WANT A GAY FRIEND BECAUSE THEY ARE AWESOME.
Stop right fucking there.
Now re-read what you fucking write on my shit before posting and think of how much of an idiot you make yourself sound and how you think I would take it.
It's for one thing, rude, you're making gay people sound like they are just there for entertainment, and you think my journal is just for fanservice.
It's a journal comic, just so people can read my life, there are things I will show and some things I won't, that's the whole fucking point.
I'm happy to reply to all comments because my watchers give the time of their day to comment on my art, and I really love that, but don't be a little prick about it and think it's all about you. This comic is about me/my friends/my family and if you think they are just fucking there for your well being, you gotta take a good fucking look

Bronies go nuts, and Nintendo Sucks?Equestria Girls
The trailer to "Equestria Girls" (the humanized MLP spinoff film) finally was released today. Aaaannnd everyone's freaking out. Again.
You know, it actually looks pretty decent. Bronies... please understand: I know you're a major unexpected demographic for the show. I know you enjoy seeing shout-out's become canon within the show, and appreciate how the creators do little things here and there for you. But... the show isn't made for you. This is not Cartoon Network and the target demographic isn't 25 year olds in college. You're a nice addition to the target demographic of little girls, but you are not the driving force behind MLP.
I don't want this to sound mean, but it needs to be said. This is where it becomes very important to understand the fine line between being a fan of the show and thinking that because you've invested so much energy into the show that you're entitled to things.
I'm sure the movie won't be as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It honest

2012 Otakon Wrap Up

Journal Entry: Tue Jul 31, 2012, 8:15 PM

I had a great time at the 2012 Otakon Convention this year and as always, it was a pleasure to meet and speak with many of you who visited me at either the workshop I ran and/or at my table.  Thank you for all of your support!

Many people who attended the workshop were not able to receive a copy of the CD I made so I wanted to make those files available to download.  Feel free to download the lineart PSD files I used during my demo: [link]

Thank you to everyone who attended the workshop.  I was a bit shocked to see just how much interest there was in digital painting and it was an honor to speak on the topic at Otakon.  It was great to touch base with lots of artists afterwards and I hope that I can do this same demo at future conventions!

If you missed out on the workshop, it was recorded and is available on Vimeo:  [link]

Thanks again to everyone who came out to attend the workshop and bought prints at my table!

=MichaelLinkJr Aug 1, 2012 Professional Traditional Artist

Thanks for posting the link! I took my son to the panel since he was really interested in digital work. He was a little upset about the CD, but I took about two pages of notes for the line-work and painting demonstrations. I was the guy in the back who asked about traditional lines for a digital painting, since most of my work is traditional brush inking (like in comic books) and use that as a base for my digital pictures. (I could never get used to inking in Photoshop...) Your methods were similar to mine, but the custom brushes were really interesting. I've always used stock Photoshop brushes for my pictures... Now I see what I have been lacking!

Thanks for an awesome panel. I wish I had the chance to stop in the art room, but each time I was there your booth was closed.

Would definitely love to see an "intermediate to expert" course sometime in the future.

Also, what was the name of the printer in Baltimore? My local print-shop closed recently (I was their only business, really), so I went with Staples last minute for the con. The prints, not surprisingly, came out really, really bad. Definitely looking to switch.

*TsaoShin Aug 3, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Thank you very much for coming to the workshop! I apologize about the CDs - I didn't think there would be that many people! Great question by the way. I wish I had more time to address it but was worried about how much time I had left. I had meant to mention an additional program that is great for inking lines called Easy Paint Tool SAI. It's a fantastic Japanese created program that doesn't cost much but has some powerful pen smoothing features. It may be right up your alley.

Also, check out Algenpfleger's custom Photoshop brushes here on deviantART. Here's the link: [link]

I started out on a build of those brushes and began creating my own. There are some fantastic brushes in that set.

Sorry about my booth! We had a crazy schedule going and I feel like I didn't get to spend enough time in the Alley this year.

The printer I use in Baltimore is Whitmore. Ask for Mike Neff and he will take good care of you. Their website is: [link]

Thanks again for coming to the workshop and your support!

=MichaelLinkJr Aug 3, 2012 Professional Traditional Artist

Thanks for answering all my questions.

I'll definitely check out the printer. Not all of my pictures in the auction sold this year (I blame those Staples "Canvas Prints"...), but I have a lot of people e-mailing me for prints.
