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

BOLIVIA, Jamaica, and Commissions! UPDATE

Tue May 22, 2007, 9:20 AM

Mood: Tired
Listening to: The Dishwasha
Reading: Monster By Frank Peretti
Watching: Nothing I gave up TV for lent
Playing: Su Do Ku
Eating: Cheesy Tuna Surprise
Drinking: Coffee

Edit: 05/22/2007 I got ANOTHER anonymous donation of $350, and my lovely roommate Shannonsaid she was going to give me $150! So now I only owe $500!!
I simply can't believe how God's providing for my trip. He's so amazing.

Edit: 05/19/2007 My Wonderful Aunt JoEllen [link] sent me a check for $300! I love God! Now I only need $1000!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!

Edit: 05/18/2007 Someone Gave me an anonymous donation of $200! Isn't God great?? But I still owe $1300... and I owe it by the end of this month...yikes. Thank you to the people who have already helped me with comissions!!!

Edit: 03/22/2007 So it turns out I'm not going to Africa after all. But now I have an opportunity to go to Bolivia. It's amazing how God shuts one door but opens another. The good news is that Bolivia is HALF the price of Africa.

Edit: On top of it all, I just did my taxes and found I owe money to the irs in the tune of $1,300. I love the government.

Here's the deal. I need money.
I'm going on two different Mission trips this summer, and I need cash. Jamaica is going to cost $1000 and ~~Africa~~ Bloivia is going to be @ $1500, and instead of asking for outright donations, I'm going to open myself up for commissions. It will be first come, first serve, so if you're interested, send me a note. You can comment if you want to, but I'll only know you're serious if you note me so I can send you paypal information.

I'll try to be super cheap, because I don't see myself as the GREATEST artist in the world, so here's your chance to get your hands on some RandomK art for your very own!
_{lol I'm so funny.. :vomit:}

PRICING
All prices are estimate. I reserve the right to charge more if what you're asking for is more complicated than what I originally quoted.

$5 for a one color, pencil sketch such as: [link] or [link] _{(one color means that I rough sketch the character and then outline and detail him nicely with a mechanical pencil. I'll let you choose what color pencil I use to rough it out. I think it ads a nice touch.)}
$10 for a clean inked lineart such as: [link] or [link]
$15 for a inked, colored marker piece as: [link] or [link]
$20 for a one color ball point pen sketch such as: [link] or [link]
$30 for a Colored Pencil Sketch such as: [link] or [link]
$40 for a Computer Enhanced Sketch such as: [link] or [link]
$50 for a Computer colored sketch such as: [link] or [link]

Extras
$10 extra for Backgrounds. I hate drawing them cause they take too much time.
$5 if you want the original shipped to you. I'll still send you the scanned one, and the $5 covers shipping. (unless you're international, that'll cost extra)
$100 if you just want to give me money.

[link]

The Process
This is how it will work. You note me with the details of what you want, I'll do the majority of the sketch, watermark it and show it to you. If that's what you want, you send me the money, and I finish it. You will receive the finished, unwatermarked image after I receive the money. This will keep me from wasting too much time on people who don't want to pay so I can complete the commissions for the people who do pay.

I hope that I don't sound too harsh, I just want this to be a smooth process and I want what's best for both me and the client. I try to be professional. (sometimes... btw you have a booger in your nose.)

Thank you for the oppertunity to allow me to make some money for what will be a worthy cause. I tried to make it so that there was something for every price range. Please tell all your friends, if you feature this in your journal, Maybe I'll do something special for you.
God bless you, friends, and thank you for your support.

OH MY GOSH>> ITS TAZ!!... I didn't know she was on here?!? YAY!!.... Well, I think.. But there is only one other UF-Jamaican-Sep-86-krazy-kool-Jesus-loving person out there, apart from myself!

..ehem.. I apologise RandomK.. the real reason I came here... did you end up raising all the money for the IRS and the trips?

~RandomK Feb 26, 2008

ahh I know this journal was a long time ago. I actually DID raise the money for those trips, but not still for the irs... I'm still paying that off

Yes it is Taz, i don't know her all that well, but she's always been pretty nice to me.
HOWEVER, I am currently trying to raise money for MORE trips to Bolivia, I think that may be a never ending situation...
It's so nice to meet you! I hope we can be friends... I'm actually leaving TODAY for Boliva.. so I hope to talk to you later when I get back

~SALTYMagazine Feb 27, 2008 Hobbyist General Artist

WOW... cool!.. Have fun hon!

~RandomK Feb 28, 2008

Thanks.. I'm trying!! lol

~Tex777 Jan 7, 2008

Well, I'm glad to hear that for you.

I would commission you but right now I'm afraid to draw anything from my paypal, because I have commissioned people and they haven't gotten back to me recently, I only know one is still planning on working... x: And I don't have a lot left in it.

I wish mom would stop being stupid and let me put some more on the account... :\

~RandomK Jan 7, 2008

I know, it's rough being an artist and having no money... lol. I've actually done commissions for people and they never paid. They were Christians too. Very disappointing.
If you ever do want a commission, just ask.

~Tex777 Jan 7, 2008

Yes... I bet.

I will keep you in mind if I ever get more money into my paypal.

~HMSDexter Nov 24, 2007

aawww you should gave come to africa

what organization were you planning to work with?

anyways, missions rock, so have a blast

~RandomK Nov 24, 2007

Yeah, I would still like to go back...
Actually I know some missionaries that live in Camaroon. I don't know what organization they work with... but they are really great people.
Thanks again!!

~Mizra May 22, 2007 Professional Digital Artist

HALLEUJAH!!! RK's going to the missions! God's providing exactly what you need, my dear!
