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:points: .
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

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

On TES elvesAlright can I just say how much I love the elves in the Elder Scrolls
J.R.R. Tolkien popularized elves as these otherworldly, divinely beautiful creatures which sorta established the standard for the race in all modern fantasy that came after. They're nearly immortal, distant, and to me, plain boring. Then around comes Morrowind, the game that really made me fall in love with TES, its world and its lore!! The elves of TES have a long history, and each subrace has their own cultural identity. The elves no longer just sit in their Crystal ivory towers (well I guess some of them do) and sing to their trees or whatever - they're flawed, complicated PEOPLE, and extremely proud of who they are. The haughty Altmer, the hostile Dunmer from the Ashlands, the cannibalistic Bosmer, the late Dwemer and their scientific achievements…. when was the last time any elves modeled after Tolkien's work had this much cultural diversity??
I love the fact that Bethesda actually created some of the most inter

The Life of the Duffy

:iconxirucem:

  • Mood: Excited
  • Listening to: Foster the People
  • Reading: A Game of Thrones
  • Watching: BBC Sherlock 8D
  • Playing: .Hack//GU Volume three OMG
  • Eating: Croque Moniseur
  • Drinking: Tea~
T-Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes everyone! Y-You're all so kind! And thank you for all the lovely compliments. I spent all day blushing. :iconadorableplz:

So, a quick update on the life of a Duffy.

Our kitchen is coming along well! We got some new appliances and stuff, but we're waiting on our new counter tops. :C So we can't really do anything right now. I'll be so glad to get the kitchen worked out.

In other news, my college classes have been really easy so far and I'm just sitting here like o_________________________o wat. It's really weird. But nice, admittedly. I like all my teachers except for my psychology teacher. He's just boring. Nice guy, a wee bit awkward, but he's nice. Just... boring. I'm really glad that I took psychology in high school, otherwise I would actually have to pay attention. XD English has been fantastic so far! I like my teacher, she's really nice C:

But yeah, not a lot going on in the life of the Duffy! Working on quite a few cosplays, slowly but surely! Can't wait to get those pics up ;DDD

Also, I went recently to go see ~zhellyzee! It's such a shame we live so far away ;n; BUT I HAD SUCH A LOVELY TIME WITH HER AND ~XDoveX WHO DROVE ME UP THERE THANK YOU DEAR ILY. ROAD TRIP MOAR PLZ. 8DDDD

And honestly it's way too late for me to be writing this but OH WELL.

So, goodnight everyone~! Sleep well! I'll add my extra contact info on here in the morning.


With love,
Duffy
