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?)

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

A bit about me!

by ~SelinaFenech, Nov 11, 2005, 3:05:46 AM
Journals / Personal

I've come to the realisation that a lot of you will no nothing about me! So I thought I'd change that

I've been trying to make more of an effort to spend more time around DA lately, but there are only so many hours in the day unfortunately... So here's a quick rundown about me and my art!
I am from Australia
I am a women (well, more like girl I'd say!)
I'm 24 years old
I'm an artist... as in... that's my career. I guess you'd say I was a professional artist, but "working" artist works as well

.
I've been a working artist for almost 2 years now (ie, not having another job) but have been working AT being an artist for another 4-5 on top of that, and then have been drawing from way way before then.
I mostly work in watercolours with a few other mediums thrown in for good measure. Sometimes gouache, sometimes ink, sometimes pencil, whatever I think I need.
I also sometimes do Graphite works.
I also sometimes do digital works with photoshop and my Wacom Intuos.
My work can be seen here, on elfwood, epilogue, enchanted artists, artwanted, Australian fantasy art enclave, and probably many more sites.
The most important site you can see my work is my home page!! www.selinafenech.com SelinaFenech dot com!!
My work is licensed with many companies, so you might see it around! Stickers, card decks, cross stitch, bookmarks, greeting cards, that sort of thing.
It's all very exciting, lol!
I'm still working hard to improve my artwork, I've got a long way to go yet!
I look up to the older generation of fantasy artists greatly. Alan lee, Froud, any and all artists at Duirwaigh Gallery.
Umm... bored yet?
Oh.. and I have a cat that has no name

And I'm also on live journal as selinafenech (my user name everywhere... how original!).

Any questions??

your on LJ ? awesome.. will look u up. I'm Melicious-Ink (funny that). you have a kitty ? I have three. My first one who was their mum had no name. Just called her kitty. *shrugs* she didnt mind.

I have a couple of your greetings cards around here somewhere aswell, and i think I ran into you on ebay aswell ?? I run a small online business for alternative gifts.

~Milui Apr 27, 2006

I got one more question to you which is very important to mee. Can you tell me more about having prints made? I wanna start amking some at a local print shop but don't know wich paper to use and if there's anything else important for that. I'm doing watercolor and pencil work. So please can you help me what comes out best and what is good for "open edition" "special edition" prints and so on?
Thank you very much!

~WeedFairy Apr 26, 2006

What exactly does one have to do to become a "real" artist? I mean, to get your works into books and things like that? (Maybe i'm fantasizing a bit too much

)
I love your art and it's great to have found you on dA!

~MaggieRaven Mar 26, 2006 Hobbyist General Artist

I'm glad to see you here for I have been enjoying your artwork for a couple of years now and through here is a great way to know when you put something new out there. I have to say I look up to you as an artist and plus you are a beautiful young woman so you are one of the lucky ones. Keep up the excellent job and may success follow you all of your days.

~lenoki Jan 30, 2006

I've seen your art all over Australia in the form of giftcards and bookmarks etc

it's always great to see your works... kinda makes it seem like it's not such a big world after all

~achenar Jan 12, 2006 Hobbyist Digital Artist

This is sorta cool, because I saw your art in today's favourites and went 'looks like Amy Brown work or that stuff like it that's been on cards all over the place'. And then I looked at your name and went ...aaaaah.

Absolutely love your work (even more now I know you're a deviant). Think I'm one of the few people here who saw your cards and stuff first.

Anyway, adore your work, you by proxy, going to start buying birthday cards and such with your art on them now.

~JULIOCORE Dec 22, 2005

Hello!! My name is Julio from Brasil, girl i ´m really impressing with yours works, is wonderful, i ´ve works too my web site is [link] if you have a email i send to you many works that i done. Good luck! :^)

~liselaure Nov 30, 2005

I have a special request... Is it possible to see on of your first fairy ? I'd like to see at which point you progressed in a few years and with which type of drawing you started to promote you...

~SelinaFenech Nov 30, 2005 Professional General Artist

Guess what! I have a whole page set up where you can see my oldest artworks here- [link]
But my first real watercolours that got me where I am now are [link] and [link]

~Milui Apr 23, 2006

Hey!sorry for breaking into this discussion, but it fits so good. There is a big progress between 16 and 17 and my question is where does it come from? did you have a book or sth.?
