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

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

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

Listening to: Hellrider on repeat + Duffy?
Reading: the internets
Watching: Invader Zim + mov classics
Playing: Hl2 , Serious Sam II, chess
Eating: new animals every day
Drinking: like there is no tomorrow

today is the first time I felt the juice in a looong while..
new land, new posse, new rules.. but I feel like me again! and finally got the team back together!!!

I guess the immediate consequence of this is;
We are back on the air babay!!

Once again, open for business

taking commissions; all shapes! all sizes!
we aint cheap, but we are invincible!!

[WE ARE ICC]

DA advertising.. hmmm..
well, anyway,

Cheers guys!

well, this all sounds weird after all. Welcome back what more can I say? Maybe a phone call sometime soon?

And most important, I moved out of yellowwattle. 5mins walk to tax'm (serious) square

~Neizen May 11, 2009 Professional General Artist

koc, acaip diyosun ama o kadar da diil- burda yaptigim tek sey ICC promosyon vidyolari uzerinde calismak oldu [bizn hocayi da kafaladim..] journal anaonsu isin geyigi..

daha yeni mi ciktin?? ben bi2 haftaya cikarsin die bekliyodum.. ii olmus beah- kimle ciktin? $?

burdan arayamiyorum, sabit hat yok.. 5km lik kontor yarim dakkada bitiyo..

Okulu naaptin?

[ps hala accik kizginim sana.. olsun, gecti sayilir..]

~lbtsodbts May 13, 2009

Okul bildiğin okul gibi gidiyo, tez danışmanını seçtim, haftaya hem finaller var hem de danışmanla konuşup ne yapçamı falan öğrencem. Bizim Hüseyin vardı ya gitarist, o var bi de onun bi arkadaşı var. Taksimden Şişliye yürürken otellerden sonra ikinci solda.

[ps bana kızma yaw, herzamanki halim, napim olm vedalaşmalara falan gelemiyorum fazla, duygusal adamım naapim

~genkaku-kun May 9, 2009 Student Traditional Artist

Haha, Invader Zim.
Good luck to you, Mr. Neizen sir.

collective freelance design agency sounds like where I'd like to end up someday. haha

~wapamup May 7, 2009

I woke up in the middle of the night, a little thunderstorm outside ... so, what is ICC?

I've got to step back Into dreamland... Lucid dreaming

~Neizen May 7, 2009 Professional General Artist

[i guess by now you are back to battling your demons building gocarts with your ex-landlord.. wherever you are I hope its better than the world I woke up to today..]

well the official description/our tag line is "ICC: a motherfucker"..

(I actually animated 3 vids wth that)
but,
in a more proper sense, its an internet advertising/all things design company.. there are only 6 of us who can officially carry the flag, but my main intention is to rely on freelancers for the majority of production.. + There is 2 of us in Bosnia[1s me] 2 in Turkey and 2 in north america.. so there is no possibility of having a central office with interns/lawyers running around.. all the 6 are quite capable of rallying up experts to help em out, so Im not worried about getting the jobs done..

the ICC as an abbreviation stands for whatever you wish it to be.. internets classy crusade/istanbul collective colon.. I cant write the name in the registry due to a long list of reasons that I also cannot write due to those reasons :F

anyway,
thanks for stopping by + asking

See ya!

~wapamup May 8, 2009

what about your world in wich you woke up today?
sounds good, it must be a great feeling to have your own biz!

i`m asking myself all the time ... when it will be ok for me to step into concept art business, but then i`m answering myself: "this is not your world. they will eat your soul in a nanosecond!"
it`s great to see people like you doing their own thing. may your bags filled with gold and your soul with joy!

maybe ... maybe one day i`ll do my own thing too

~Neizen May 8, 2009 Professional General Artist

I have two close friends one in Fraxis and one in Big Huge Games, both doing concept design; and man.. they are havin a ball!!! I retracted from that world in pursuit of tail but I greatly regret my decision these days..
from what theyve told me, the gaming design industry [for content creators only] is the chillest most supportive group of all time.. [kinda the reason why I recently started doing concepts after 4 yrs]

Dont worry man, yre good, even if the water is too cold you could take a step back?[do you do 3d? its a safe bet?].. [you got a son tho.. I couldnt possibly imagine the responsibility/joy..]

Thank you for the blessing man

[we cannot afford to lose hope]

Ill see ya,
Cheers!

~wapamup May 8, 2009

i`ve got nothing to loose, at the moment! so i would go almost everywhere on this planet to work as a concept artist, even if it`s an internship.
