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

Design Contest WIN 4000 POINTS, 20$ AND MORE!I've wanted to hold a design contest for a long time now, and finally I've gathered enough points to do it :D
Go here to browse entries: http://taravia.deviantart.com/favourites/55430170
What I'm looking for:
Everything! Wolves, foxes, fennec foxes, ferrets, servals, bobcats, tigers, other big cats, small cats, deers, dragons, gryphons, dogs, birds, hybrids, original species.. bring it!
I'm leaving the details to your imagination, but here are some things I really like:
-White base color with black and red markings<33 (mostly on canines)
-Cute and fluffy things! No need to go all big eyes and oversized heads, but animals with fur. Creepy and slimy things just aren't my thing.. Still don't be afraid to make something dark/evil
-Anything tribal
-Native american stuff
-Feathers!
-Tawny, golden, brown, white, red, blue, cyan, gray, black (well, not all combined)
-I like more natural base colors, but with smaller markings in unnatural colors like blue or red
-Long tails, big/long
The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Callibrate your Wacom tutorialHad you  finally  made  the transition from intuos 3 to intuos 4?, or Are you rich to change into an intuos 5? Had you made the transition from a first generation cintiq  to the new ones?. More levels of pressure will mean  more quality to the paintings, am i right?. 
Did you thought that by default the pen will it be like using butter on bread?, you try it for the first time and you love all of it, you said i have sooooooo much control on my strokes im having a blast. Then only  to realize you only have total control of the brush but when you are moving it really slow?. But when you do quick strokes the pressure drops a lot of paint making you redraw tons of stuff?
Did you ever thought that painter its hard to handle with new tablet? Too much pressure? If it has more pressure why i cant control more easier the beggining of the stroke which is more crucial?.
Have you ever open the customize option in wacom settings,  only to feel dumb and no

Really Annoyed at DA's bugs...

Journal Entry: Sat Jul 23, 2011, 5:14 PM
  • Wheels For Independence



          





    Why?...Why Deviant Art is killing the joy for its faithful members?...I spent a good amount of hours at DA,mostly working with my groups,I barely rant/complain but today,whenever I make a posting,it says it is spam!...

    I do about 40 faves per day from my groups,also I make comments into my groups,I read close to 15 journals from close friends and make comments when I have time,that plus my own art comments and thanking my faves
    and if I do a feature I have to notify the artists...and the site just goes with 'unable to post because it is spam'...

    DA,the lag in the site is horrible,the comments disappear,the faved works get unfaved 'without notice',the groups lose art as well,the submissions are slow at the normal accounts,all this besides the new and annoying trolls around DA,what else?

    We pay our memberships on time!,mine is still for a full year plus my 3 years here...is there a difference between the year I wasn't premium?...just a minimum difference and I think we the premium members should get more,we deserve more than the whole bunch of bugs we have been having!

    I understand the site needs maintenance,the site needs improvements and we the members support it because it is into our own benefit but when the bugs go on forever,it is when we get annoyed and tired.~Growls!~

    This is the moment when I want my fangs....Rant is over,going back to my coffin! :iconvampplz:

omg..omg....I thought it was only I who had this problems, I agree with every word you said about spam and all the trouble on this site, it is sooo bad and really frustrating.
We should have our money back for the premium fee.. But I'm really glad I saw your journal and read that other has exactly the same problem..:frustrated:.

Well said!! I have notified admins ages ago about the bug in not being able to update my group blog entry, says I am forbidden every time I try even though I am the founder of the group.

I like to thank people for visiting my account, and all that but I can't do more then 10 at a time.

I experienced the exact same spam issue and felt the same annoyance. But I think it's an issue that's going to stay -- it's a part of the system. :( I hope they change it soon.

FAQ #31: I am unable to post comments or send notes because the site informed me I was spamming. What is going on?

Oh ... I did not know of this problem ...I thought it was all server problem.
With all these problems is very tedious work, most of all those who have charge groups. I hope the DA staff to improve the service, we are DA. I think they will understand this demand because we want to belong to this community of artists and every day DA shelter more members, but increasingly are more happy to be here.
I hope you read the concerns of their community and respond to them
We support you Sandra! :hug:

One main problem is also that DA is becoming slower and slower because the sides are overloaded with so much junk that they are taking forever to load. I'm out in the countryside now and here there's no broadband so I'm surfing using a wireless 3G modem. And it works fine even with youtube. But DA - forget it! It just keeps timing out until my hair turns gray!
I remember when I first came here in 05, then it even went fine using DA with a dial-up, but I bet one wouldn't even try that today.

I have some friends who have actually left DA completely because they are on slow connections and cannot use DA anymore, even as subscribed members. Last one leaving was :iconioretta: and she told me that the last year she couldn't use the note function at all, it just kept timing out, and she had to quit moderating her group because it did't work with her connection either.

And using a phone - forget that as well.

I think DA should launch a stripped version as well, because there are still a lot of people out there on slow connections who cannot use the site as all anymore.

Wow...I would just lose my mind if having to wait forever for DA loading at my computer!,I can see how annoying it is for many members,I don't say 'my problems are the biggest' but,if making my postings give me a spam message then what will be for others?...

I don't know,but perhaps if DA would close all the inactive/unused ghostly accounts it would help...there are so many that it is obvious they could increase the problem,I would even kill my stock account merging it into my normal account just for 'having less crowd' for the servers...of course this is just a silly supposition!

Yes,I also have seen some people here at DA for whom is really impossible navigating or simply reading their notes...that is frustrating!

Yes,it sounds like a great idea the stripped version of DA and it would be wonderful if they listen the suggestion!

HUGS dearest Hera!:hug:

Hi Sandra! I don't think the extra ammount of accounts really makes any difference. The main problem is all the blinbbling they have added to the sites, like left menues with things noone have asked for, adds and google counters which load even for subscribed memories (only that you cannot see them) and all those extra monkey meet. If DA could get rid of that crap I bet it would help along quite a bit! :iconsqueezehugplz:
