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?)

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

Apophysis 2.05 is here!

Thu Sep 28, 2006, 10:37 AM

Mood: Cheerful
Listening to: Infinity Project
Playing: TES IV: Oblivion

At last! I thought this will never happen

The new Apophysis 2.05 looks good enough to be shown to public

Special thanks to our testers, who suffered from all kinds of strange program behaviour - all this time...

And now, maybe I can finally...

- go through all my unanswered messages?

- try to think of some titles for my unreleased works?

- and finally upload them?

- continue my quest for saving the Tamriel empire?

acman:

- get some sleep?

Apophysis 2.05 is here!by ~Zueuk

Journals / Personal

*PatGoltz Oct 23, 2006

Ummm, I did notice a problem. I have a collection of gradients. When I tried to select one of them, it gave me a different gradient. Couldn't make it select the one I wanted nohow! You might want to look into this.

~Zueuk Oct 26, 2006 Digital Artist

hmm, what are you doing, exactly?
loading gradients works fine for me here...

*PatGoltz Oct 26, 2006

I was opening my list of private gradients, and double clicking on the one I wanted. I did discover that my private gradients have been incorporated into the regular dropdown list, but I don't know if they are all there, because I have several files. I should combine them, I suppose.

~Zueuk Oct 30, 2006 Digital Artist

hmmm

they shouldn't be incorporated into dropdown list, there's only 700 standard gradients in there

*PatGoltz Oct 31, 2006

Well, I did find some of the gradients from my own list in there. Don't know why, though. I posted a comparison between Apo 2.04 and 2.05 in my scraps. Please take a look at it. It will show you the difficulty I am having (well, in part anyway). I hit on the idea to try adjusting the gamma today, and it doesn't fix the problem, though it improves it, but it still doesn't look like what I'm aiming for. But I suspect 2.05 is rendering with the gamma too high for starters. It looks like what it is doing also involves rendering far too many points. I know that earlier editions of Apo will do this, but they do it in a different way that enhances the detail instead of making it muddy. I also saw that 2.05 is doing something to the gradient. I have a collection of flames in one .flame file, and it messed up the gradients on each one, just from loading the file. I have to copy the gradient separately back into 2.04 and resave. That does correct the problem. I did discover that if I copy the .flame into 2.04, and then copy the gradient into 2.04, it reproduces faithfully. So I don't know what 2.05 is doing to the gradients. But if I make the mistake of opening the .flame file in 2.05 again, it will erase all the resaves of the gradient. In 2.05 they do preview correctly, but the renders, as I am showing, are very different from what I designed.

*PatGoltz Oct 23, 2006

Thank you so much! Of course, there are some new and strange and probably wonderful things to learn about its rendering, starting with the white screen! I have been wondering if I can get away with rendering slices again!
