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?)

800 Points GiveawayHello all. As I've mentioned in the poll, I am going to make a small giveaway on the occasion of nearly 1000 watchers! Wooo!
There are 8 winners and 100 points for each to win. BUT the giveaway ends when the number of watchers reaches 1000.
RULES:

To enter, fave this journal and comment below that you've faved it. Then I will give you a number.

You don't need to watch me to enter. But please keep in mind that the giveaway ends sooner when
there are more watchers.

Your account must be at least 2 months old.

You can enter once only. No alternate/plz accounts.
I will choose winners with random.org.
♣ Good luck! ♣
Minor update: changed from 1111 to 1000 watchers.

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.

Hello fellow artists, friends and fans.

First things first: in all due respect, we're deeply sorry.
Sorry that we trusted the wrong people, of course, but most importantly, sorry that some, we fear that many, have been caught up in this mess.

We're sure that by now you all must be aware of what we're talking about, the mess from a few months back leading to public accusations and and a lot of trouble from which we narrowly avoided catastrophic consequences.
We thought it was over, and wanted to leave it buried like that, the past was the past and nothing we did would or could change it, but now we're aware, and have proof, that once again someone is spreading seeds of mistrust, lies and deceit amongst our dearest fans.

We won't claim it true or not, we just wish that, if you get such messages, please talk to us first before taking any sort of action, although we know you're all kind and considerably smart people that will know to separate the lies from the truth should these tides of darkness reach your shores.

Again we're deeply sorry for anyone caught up in this deep mess, past and presently ressurfaced, and hope to count on your understanding of the situation.

Know though that we love each and everyone of you, our friends, as before, now and always.

As always, you can continue to expect friendship, trust and care from us. A real crew who understand and welcome criticism, and will always be there for you as well.

But on top of all that, expect quality entertainment from us, as always.

-Dark Fox & Lourwind.

In the defense of the unnamed assailant, he truely seems to have changed his spots (Though Im sure he's still a leopard) and I personally have recieved apologies (Being one affected by this mess) and he seems to be directing his energies elsewhere (positively). Never the less, despite his age, (which is unknown to me) he is a child. Children must be reprimanded or they will go astray. But all through, dont be too hard on him. He's making the effort and that counts for a small something. -Miss Melody (:

~ShaiUzikami May 14, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

As I said on your facebook, it really is a shame that someone who claims to be so superior and intelligent is still resorting to childish games and holding onto the fact he was given his pink slip because of the same things he's still doing, apparently. Kudos to YOU, Bottomless Pit Studios, for being so mature and infallable in these times of test. I wish you luck in your endeavors, and will always be here to show some support- even if it does not seem it.

*Vampire-Fish May 14, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

the variety of work you create and the dedication to your fans proves how great a group this is

I really hope this is resolved for you all soon

~theGman0 May 14, 2012 Hobbyist

does this have to do with people claiming that your art is stolen or something?

*BottomlessPitStudios May 14, 2012 Professional General Artist

No, just a guy failing to take responsibility for something he did, rather then blaming it on those who were not involved, including us.

We've had enough of being harassed over it, we spoke to the people involved, again, and they've actually given us the evidence we needed for a while to prove once and for all we're innocent. We're taking it up with the admins.

~theGman0 May 14, 2012 Hobbyist

oh I see....

~Kuroda-XIII May 14, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I have no violent reactions whatsoever..
I stay loyal as I have liked your works so much anyway

~ComikzInk May 14, 2012 Digital Artist

I'm staying, I love the comics and the friendly atmosphere surrounding BottomlessPitStudios.
Its a shame that this is still troubling the group, Hopefully it'll all be in the past soon

~ElayneCapahony May 14, 2012

Well Peter, even though you just knew them, I'm glad you decided to stay here.... But you know, this had been going on for a long while...

Oh boy, I'm hooked up to la choir....

~ComikzInk May 14, 2012 Digital Artist

Aha, I first came across them when they
