THANK YOU EVERYPONY WHO JOINED :'D I DIDN'T EXPECT SO MANY

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?)
Draw a

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

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.

*HazukiGirl Mar 14, 2010 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

1. Why did you join #MangaAcademy ?
Because I never learned the basics of drawing and was hoping to find them here
2. What do you think the group is missing? Give suggestions,ideas.
Maybe you guys could have guest-speakers write special blog entries on how they started out or fixed a certain drawing problem, anything along those lines

3. Are you happy with the current submit system?
Sure

4. What tutorials and lessons do you want to see from us in the future?
Manga tutorials, as in "how to panel pages, which ones are best suited for this kind of thing, etc...", basically, focusing on the story-telling aspect of manga
5. What contests do you want us to host in the future? What kind of prizes do you want?
Maybe a contest that has you draw 3 deviations, each with a prerequisite theme? I guess people would need at least a month or two for that, though...
6. Are you having fun on MA?
I haven't been able to spend that much time on it but I've enjoyed working with the tips I've found here
7. Anything else to add?
MA's mascots are the greatest!

=DemonOfSarila Mar 14, 2010 Professional Interface Designer

1. Why did you join #MangaAcademy
-the lessons looked like a good idea

2. What do you think the group is missing? Give suggestions,ideas.
-well i'm sure more lessons will come with time.

3. Are you happy with the current submit system?
-sorting tut's is good, homework and lessons is good. just i'm sort of neutral on the throw art of fav pile thing... i mean yeah feedback systems are good, but through it on the pile doesn't really work for that most times.

4. What tutorials and lessons do you want to see from us in the future?
-detailed ones, and the picture that explains things type, not the time lapse painting type. color choice, like not just picking base colors for the whole picture, and stuff about coloring techniques.

5. What contests do you want us to host in the future? What kind of prizes do you want?
-mere? i'm not sure

6. Are you having fun on MA?
-i guess, when i can get online.

7. Anything else to add?
-not at the moment

~crazytooner Mar 13, 2010 Student Digital Artist

I joined because there was a lot of useful information here that I could learn from.

2. What do you think the group is missing? Give suggestions,ideas.
I don't believe the group is missing anything.

Everything I've seen is excellent.

3. Are you happy with the current submit system?
I have yet to submit anything, but I'm sure it's good.

4. What tutorials and lessons do you want to see from us in the future?
I'd love to see some on background tutorials, such as angles and vanishing points. That kind of stuff; I feel like I can create decent characters but my backgrounds need help to achieve a real feel for the situations.

5. What contests do you want us to host in the future? What kind of prizes do you want?
Some themed ones would be great, or maybe even doing like multiple shots and practicing them over and over to see if we improve any thru different attempts at one picture. As for Prizes perhaps subscriptions and art.

I am indeed! I've learned a lot also which is important.
