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.

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

So, I'm browsing around Conceptships ([link], and I run across these two things:

I'll be doggone if those aren't my League Destroyer ([link] and The Alexandria ([link].

I suppose I could be mistaken - but if they are...hot dang! The texture work just makes them come alive.

Nice work, Mr. Oleastri!

Well if there is a bright side - least they know taste!

Imitation is the best form of flattery

~dmaland Sep 22, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

~karanua Apr 18, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

They certainly are your ships but I fail to see a single credit anywhere.

~dmaland Apr 25, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Ah well. At least we all know.

You know?

~karanua Apr 25, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

yeah but selling shirts with ripped artwork that used ripped ships... is there an end to these thieves?

~dmaland May 2, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I'd like to think that there would be a way to get unsavory types under control...sadly, I think the cure would be pretty bad for everybody in the end. (You'd have to have a very un-free society.)

~karanua May 2, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Free? what the hell is that? you can't move in this country without a camera seeing you and the advertisers aren't the only ones tracking your movements across the internet, to believe otherwise demonstrates pure naitivity.

~SOULSSHINE Mar 28, 2011 Professional Digital Artist

LOL The least that person should do is

1) TO CREDIT Somewere The Source file AUthor
2) and then UPLOAD BACK AGAIN TO WEB ITS WHOOLE SCENE And Improvments ... lololol

( for others to use Its improvments to your own creations )

ITS ALL LIKE THIS:

- One gets it free ( others work )
- Free should give away its work to others back...

Well basicaly ( its the Creative commons Non comercial Sharealike ) licence ...

[link]

...._{BUT ANYWAY Thats just my way of thinking ANd what i Want to do with #SOULSSHINE-ONLINE Production SOURCE FILES like ... HAHAHHaha!}

Nice to see your files actualy used with some quality ...

Now About the Image author : Luca Oleastri From Italy ...

Fine art America ?
[link]

And selling prints Out of those images ...
[link]

By the way the guy is here ~innovari
But does not log in deviantart more than 7 months now ...

Hummm...

----

Well i just have to say one thing ...

TEAM WORK IS EVERYTHING !

But those people that are using "your work" Should reaaly team work with you and give you somehow anything back from your Hard Work of so many hours ...

1) they could pay you a fee
1.1) and by that i mean that you already should have a Renderosity Acount with All your models for sell there ...

2) They could improve the files - And give you back its improvments ...

3) or they could even share for free some of its creations and share with you or with everyone alike .

----

Now using just other work / no promps / no Credits Visible "anywere, anyhow" Or without give you something in echange is just PLAIN WRONG ...

And not fair pall ...

But live is not fair isnt ...
SUre but we should all try to THINK and EFFORT a litle bit more and make it / LIVE more FAIR for everyone that suround us somehow.

Its not even just a right is a DUTY and RESPONSABILITY of us all.

----

ANYWAY THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR WORK...
That yu so kindly share with us all ...

RPGSI STUDIO

_{PS: BY THE WAY :

From the WWW:SOULSSHINE.ORG Production yu know that you will have a Incoming for it "one day somehow" ...

Every Fair % Were it enters your work Acording to the whoole work And GAinings you will have always your $ Incoming From our production Novels.

Like a Example :
- If in a magazine of 30 pages 1 page is there your SHIP And that ship is 20% of the Art SPace That means MATEMATICALY:

30pages = 100% Incomings
1 Page = 3,3%

1 Page = 100% = 3,3%
20% of 1 page = 20% of 3.3% = 0.66% Incomings From the 100% of the All Public shared incomings from that magazine

Lets say the contract for that magazine with the publisher is 1000 euros that means that 0.66% of 1000 euros that means that :
- Even if your Spaceship just apears at 1 page with 20% of the page space at least Exactly 6,6 Euros From that Appearence Are yours ...

LOLOL ( thinking here ) 6.6 EUros in a contract of 1000 euros for a 30 pages magazine is not that freeking much ....

BUT its the MATEMATICALY FAIR Thing ... ...

Of course if you Like with all your models you make / 6.6 euros of 20% each page space with a model yours in 30 pages that means that in 30 pages You would profit 198 Euros with the whoole magazine ...

And that would be already something ....

Its just a example ... of our PRODUCTION MATEMATICAL Schemes to make things FAIR for everyone ...

---

Another way is Beyond the "Page Or image space" your art Occupy ...

FOR NON PUBLISHED PRINTED WORK / FOR PROJECTS

Another also very good or better BEST way We got into our production is to Atribute POINTS To all Participants WORKS .

Then All summed points of all works that participate that magazine are 100% of its incoming ...

So we just have Sum All the points you gathered into that production to know how much from its incomings you should earn ....

YEah sure from a whoole production get something like 198 euros .... in a contract of 100 euros for 30 pages ... if you work a litle in all its pages as example is cheesy ... To get 6 euros if you participate in "just one page" is even worst ...

But to get YOUR name as a Co-Creator Participant of that Production - The deserved credit and FAIR PLAY game of all this of course pays all the rest ....

Thats the way of our thinking here in our production yu know ...

...

I understand if someone makes their living on this getting a bit out of whack if they are not credited or payed for their work. But if you do this for fun as long as someone knows that is your work, I say good on 'em. Especially if that person can do more than I ever could with them. I just wish more people would show me what they do with my work.

Wow this is the Alexandria, this man has made a really cool job.
