How I do thingsHey everyone,
I've gotten quite a few notes asking how I'm able to have the motivation to finish books and complete images. It's simple really. First, I think a vast majority of the reason why people post artwork on major websites like Deviantart is because they want to share their worlds with other people. I think the downside to this is that a lot of people get discouraged if others don't comment on their work (this happens to me a lot too so I'm there too) or if people put opinion into critique. Critique should always be free o f personal opinion -in my opinion. That way it's neutral and 100% helpful. I think people get discouraged when others don't comment, fav etc or when they see work by other artists and wish that they could make artwork like that and it just flat out discourages them from wanting to draw anything. The other side to it is that when a  new artist  or even an experienced artist comes across a really inspiring art piece it encourages them to want to improve their oHow I do things by *Axolotl-mafia
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:points: .
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.

Re-design slave Leia! Win matching earrings!(Here are the earrings you can win! http://starlit-sorceress.deviantart.com/art/Leia-is-Nobody-s-Slave-Win-these-earrings-371889448 )
The slave Leia costume was created when Carrie Fisher complained that her other costumes were too modest, but several scenes had to be re-shot because of wardrobe malfunctions.
Female characters shouldn't be forced to choose between a shapeleses wrist-to-ankle turtlneck dress and a defective metal bikini!
Here's where you come in.
Keeping the original colors, materials, and style, re-design the slave Leia costume into something the princess would wear willingly (and proudly) for practical everyday galaxy-saving.
Prove that female characters can still look great without showing THAT much skin.

-------------
-In general the purpose of this costume should be to show off a woman's personality and powerful presence...instead of going out of the way to show off her body.

The Medium - 14Eleven: Ambush
It was still too early to guarantee an empty foyer in Kim’s apartment building, so Coyote went in as a scout.  He hobbled across the lobby on his cane and gestured for the others to follow, then hobbled up the stairs to man the elevator doors. Zeb wrapped Rocky in moving blankets and threw the bundle over his shoulder so that it looked about like a roll of rugs. With a little bit of Kim’s help, they toted him inside and into the elevator.
“Barely weighs a thing,” he commented.  “Duran musta sucked ‘im out again.”
“Their inertia’s tied to their strength,” Kim told him wearily. “When they’re weak, they don’t interact with the world as well. All the blood in the body only weighs about twelve pounds, so if he’s light, it’s because he’s so out of it. Mass is still there, but the gravity’s not acting on it. He’s less real The Medium - 14 by =QuiEstInLiteris
Veltan's Demise"Enough. You're only destroying yourself."

Veltan struggled to his feet. He had to stand. He had to continue. The longer he fought, every second he resisted would mean a second closer to safety for the others. But even so, he knew Tanor was right. If he continued fighting as he had, there was no way he could win. He wouldn't even last another five seconds.

Which was why he had to do something drastic.

He drew in more magic. And more. And more. Even when he hit his limit he drew more still. The surroundings grew still, lifeless, losing their color, as the ambient magic was drained into him. Too much. He was holding too much. Yet, he wasn't Veltan's Demise by ~SomeLameStuff
Nighte's storyNighte knew she did not belong. Her mind was not as sharp, her claws not as quick as even the slowest hatchling. She had to get away from the oppressive atmosphere of her parent’s unrealized expectations.
Running away wasn’t as simple as she’d thought. First she had to evade every other dragon in her parent’s lair. Then she had to gather up some loose tools and gadgets, laboriously piecing together a ‘distraction’ for her escape. She had never been as good at tinkering as the rest of her family, but you couldn’t grow up in a Lightning flight without some inventing skill.

Battle for Duierus PassThe drums had stopped.

There was a split-second silence, then inhuman screams echoed as the goblins charged forward.

"READY BOWS!" The order was bellowed and was passed down the wall. Every man nocked and drew, knowing that the goblins would be within range in moments. Sanya's breath caught, there were just so many...

"LOOSE!"

The air sang as five thousand arrows shot forward into the goblin horde.

It was as if they had run into a solid wall. Hundreds of goblins fell, struck by multiple arrows. Hundreds more were wounded, thrashing on the ground.  But there was still tens of thousands of them, and already they were crawling over the bodiBattle for Duierus Pass by ~SomeLameStuff

The Magic of BooksI pity those who don't read.
To them, books are just paper
Marked with ink all over.
To them, books seem so boring
Silent and still with nothing to offer.

And they ask me,
Why do you read?
Why do you laugh?
Why do you cry?
What do you see in those pages?

I reply, "Because it's enjoyable"
And they laugh and wave me away.
But if they could see what I see
And feel what I feel,
Would they be laughing then?

Would they laugh?
When the evil overlord falls
struck down by the heroes
Head tumbling down the stairs?
Or would they cheer?

Would they laugh?
When the old mentor passes
A smile upon his face
Having passed his knowledge to disciples?
Or wouThe Magic of Books by ~SomeLameStuff
Stanzascale's FR beta haikuJust because one wakes
eight hours beyond your ocean
you make one wait so?

Yes, I be verbose,
my rant shall not be hindered
"wordsmith" some praise me.

All the same our gleam
is magnificent you see
unless blinded, hm.

Like Ravenclaws, yes;
for we see genius shining,
an aspie knows true.

Laud diversity;
brilliance in oddity
hinder, you shall not.

On a side note yes,
did need a lock, really?
let post, read later.

~~

Learned ones, sing true
no insult sways from our quest:
Light thirstings for truth.

On the wing, rising
scales a-gleam while gazing off
to horizon's call.Stanzascale's FR beta haiku by ~Serensa-Stanza-scale
Heart CutoutI met loneliness on a desolate road
And I became the only friend I had.
I fell in love with noble words
And moonstruck dreams
And genius schemes
And flaky thoughts
And berserk quotes.

One day the hummingbirds
Laughed at me because my songs
Contain no music.
I shouted loud, "YOU BIRDS ARE WRONG!
My songs are poems and a poem is
An eerie song that plays alone.

I had a heart shaped cutout in my chest.
Sometimes it became a subway for fireflies
Sometimes a bridge for love and lies
Sometimes I hid there a pack of fries
And a coke with ice – extra large size
But most of all, I hid a secret –
A hope so deep it blurred my eyes.

The JourneyI am on a journey
Through wind, snow, and sand
No one can stop me
 
I am a pilgrim going on to an unknown holy land
Protected by nothing
But who will I protect?
 
This small and simple journey
Is the only path I must take
I walk in a solemn silence
This is my destiny
For I was born for thisThe Journey by ~PhoenixOfFireflies

Ja jeg ser ulempen i det ja:-/ Men selv i Oslo kan man være heldig til tider. Selvsagt må du bort fra alt som heter lysforurensing og det bør være skikkelig stjerneklart. Tvi, tvi
