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

Heya fellow WCC members! Sorry for not blogging for quite a long time, I am just super busy with my new university stuff :c

But I haven't forgotten you and I kinda miss the times when I posted polls and we had endless discussions on these, about the most random stuff ever (nostalgia!). But we also got a lot of new members who - I bet - would love to interact with all the awesome people here.

So, to anyone who is a bit bored right now, I got some ideas what we can do to fresh things up

You can comment here and SHOUT for attention! Other members may see your comment and interact with it. Cool idea, huh ;D

So this is what you could do:

SHOUT for an art trade with a fellow member
Just post a comment saying you would like to do a Warriors art trade! Maybe post a link to some works of yours and you surely will find someone who would love to do an art trade!

SHOUT for a discussion
Just get a controversial topic up (it could concern Warriors) and people can reply and discuss with you about it. It can be a lot of fun, discussing your favourite characters, Warriors artists, whether there should be a movie made about Warriors, and so on.

SHOUT for the attention of a WarriorCatsClaim admin
Got improvements or suggestions for this group? Just tell us! I will go through all the comments and of course reply. It is important to stay close to all the members.

As a side note, to everyone who is impatiently waiting for another collaboration or a contest... I don't have the time to run one right now. If this group stays active the next months there definitely will be another big event soon in the future but not until further notice, sorry

Now have fun ;D

DISCUSSION

_{In past tests, cats appeared to distinguish between the low to mid light wave spectrum (higher frequency), meaning cats responded to the colors purple, blue, green and yellow range. Red, orange and brown colors appear to fall outside cats color range and are most likely seen as shades of gray or purple. Cats appear to see less saturation in colors than do humans, meaning cats do not see colors as intensely or vibrantly. Blue and green appear to be the strongest colors perceived by cats.}

I copied that from wikianswers. But my point is, in the books, cats can see all the colors we can. I mean, I know it's fiction and the cats are like humans in a cat's body, but still ... it's interesting to think about.

~blu-warrior Nov 15, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

Yeah i have thought about that, too! Have you guys thought about how kits eyes r open when they r like 2 days old, when in real life it takes about 2 weeks??

*Satyrtail Nov 15, 2012 Student General Artist

I've thought of that before, and I think it would be a really interesting experiment for an author to write in an animal's point of view more realistically than the norm do. :'D The problem with writing that way is it would seem a bit bland and boring to the readers because a very common and effective way to express emotion or get a clear picture of something is through color. It's a difficult task when you have a limited number of colors that, let's face it, aren't very interesting while you're trying to portray something that you think could be amazing.

It's also similar with noises and tastes. Technically no one knows specifically what a cat hears, tastes, smells, ect. so it's mainly a guessing game. I think Erin Hunter has done a decent job giving us the perspective of a cat all this time.

~Cristacake Nov 22, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Have you ever read White Fang? I remember it being written from the wolf's point of view, with a lot of effort taken by the author to capture the essence of what it's like to know nothing about the world and have to learn it by just watching and experience, as animals do.

I think the Erins have done great too, I especially connect with the cats' body language!
