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.

Devious Journal Entryokay, i kinda have to say something....
some rumors have been going around that im homophobic (??) and i try to hide behind people, and im full of myself and that i hate you all and i manipulate you guys??????
im mean you can say what you want but let me tell you the real true me:
Hello, I am Emma i am 19 going on 20 in a few months. I am Pansexual (if you don't know what that is here is a link to the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansexuality) I am super bad at talking to people because of my anxiety and claiming to have a disability is not my way of shutting you guys out, I'm trying i really REALLY hard at making friends and being more social and im going to start being more social with you guys from now on this popularity kinda snuck up on me and i really had nothing to say because i was so "socially retarded" is a good way to put it. I have faith in my art, i use it as a way of expressing myself and paying homage to my favorite subject: creepypasta. man do i love creepypa

Wow okay you know whatSome of you people are rude as fuck commenting on my drawings.
Just because I'm gay doesn't make me fucking special, and anyone else. OH WOW YOU WANT A GAY FRIEND BECAUSE THEY ARE AWESOME.
Stop right fucking there.
Now re-read what you fucking write on my shit before posting and think of how much of an idiot you make yourself sound and how you think I would take it.
It's for one thing, rude, you're making gay people sound like they are just there for entertainment, and you think my journal is just for fanservice.
It's a journal comic, just so people can read my life, there are things I will show and some things I won't, that's the whole fucking point.
I'm happy to reply to all comments because my watchers give the time of their day to comment on my art, and I really love that, but don't be a little prick about it and think it's all about you. This comic is about me/my friends/my family and if you think they are just fucking there for your well being, you gotta take a good fucking look

Bronies go nuts, and Nintendo Sucks?Equestria Girls
The trailer to "Equestria Girls" (the humanized MLP spinoff film) finally was released today. Aaaannnd everyone's freaking out. Again.
You know, it actually looks pretty decent. Bronies... please understand: I know you're a major unexpected demographic for the show. I know you enjoy seeing shout-out's become canon within the show, and appreciate how the creators do little things here and there for you. But... the show isn't made for you. This is not Cartoon Network and the target demographic isn't 25 year olds in college. You're a nice addition to the target demographic of little girls, but you are not the driving force behind MLP.
I don't want this to sound mean, but it needs to be said. This is where it becomes very important to understand the fine line between being a fan of the show and thinking that because you've invested so much energy into the show that you're entitled to things.
I'm sure the movie won't be as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It honest

Journal Entry: Thu May 3, 2012, 7:22 PM

I live.  Honest.

Sorry for disappearing for so long, but you know what?

Today, I just finished my last class.  At Hopkins.  Forever.
I'M SO CLOSE TO BEING DONE, GUYS.  SO FRIGGIN' CLOSE.  Just two more weeks of finals, then one more week for graduation!  It feels pretty unreal, I don't think it's sunk in yet, hahahah...
(Oh, and for the record, that last class was Life Drawing.  Which we did outside in the sculpture garden because the weather was lovely.  And for which I watercolored.  And all was well.)

Anyway!  Some things that went down while I was out:

Started Script Frenzy but quit at 61 pages this year to work on my Intro to 2D Animation Final instead. Sorry, Iris. Definitely going to keep at it to try and have some proof drafts polished up for this June--I've even roughed out the ending, so it's CLOSE IN SIGHT!!! _{(Once I figure out how to off like, half the cast, hahahah;;; /shot) I, uh, might be curious too as to whether or not anyone would be interested in beta-reading my novel??? @v@;; M-Maybe???}

Had the best goddamn semester of my LIFE.
Seriously, I just--totally fell in love with MICA classes and the professors and students there (thank you ~shark-bomb and ~b-snippet for making my classes so much fun! ♥), and I just, good gosh I never wanted this semester to finish! I learned so much but really, I just felt so incredibly lucky and happy to be there every day. It's the closest I've felt to belonging anywhere, and it was just--the best time of my life, honestly.

Finished* my Intro to 2D Animation project. The whole 3:58 long beast of a thing, though I'll be poking back in with my professor this coming week to fix up some scenes and tweak it best I can, but then hopefully I'll, ahm, post it here or something?? I'm really kind of proud of it--all 3 minutes and 58 seconds of it, all 5560 frames of it--took me weeks of working my ass off on it and camping out for at least 4 nights in the Animation studio, yeahhhhhhhhh good times!
_{*Actually, I left about 400 frames of action in animatic-form to work on the ending first for the final viewing Wednesday, but I'll be getting back to work on those post-haste!}

  Reconsidering what I want to do with myself, again.   No surprise there.  We'll see how things go, but for now, I'm just ready to relax for a couple of months (in China, whoop!) and take some time to draw something for myself again.  For now though, I think I'm going to go take a quick break and enjoy a summer thunderstorm on the roof...

Need to catch up on some sleep, finish some final homework assignments and projects, but after that I promise that I'll get back on here and comment on all the stuff that I've been neglecting--and pull together a sketchdump, and finish up the AD Swan Song arc!  (Extra hugs and kisses to anyone who's been following me up on that, you guys have my heart, I swear~ ♥)

Anyway.  Just wanted to pop back in and let you guys know what I've been up to.  Basically, I just had the time of my life this semester, and I loved every second of it.
Why can't the good things last forever?

Congrats for finishing then! And dude, you and Yishu and Christina made this animation class the best :3

;-;

I miss it so much already wauuuuugggghhhhhhhhhh

~Khyansaria Jun 6, 2012 Student General Artist

I'd be up for beta-ing if you wouldn't mind not getting it back for a while.

I can see that a bunch of awesome people have already volunteered, but a fresh set of eyes never hurts.

Plus you're friends with epic people. So I'm sure you're epic in kind.

=Laitma Jun 19, 2012 General Artist

Ahhhhh, I'm terrible about replying to things, sorry! I had this saved to keep track of things, hahah, but I would love to get a fresh set of eyes on this, thank you!

~Khyansaria Jun 20, 2012 Student General Artist

Sweet.

~Lineith May 21, 2012 Student

I told you once that it would be over too fast C: Congratulations!!!

After graduation, make sure you make the best out of that free time! China sounds like exactly what you need to recover sleep and work on your own projects ^^

=Laitma May 25, 2012 General Artist

Ahhhhhhhhhh, it feels SO GOOD to be free, yet at the same time, I can't get over how absolutely fast it was, as well! I can't believe I'm standing here, done with my undergrad career, possibly forever... @v@;;
Yeah, definitely think I need to go lie down for a while, hahah...

~Kero-sempai May 13, 2012 General Artist

I can't remember if I commented here or not already I MEANT TO COMMENT WHEN YOU POSTED THIS so here it is now

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR THOSE ALMOST 6000 FRAMES/4 MINUTES DANG GURL yessss camping in the studio and working your ass off = the reality of animating lol. That and having to leave things out. So much happens between the first rough storyboard and the final product in the professional world, and a lot of it happens because of time restraints (including deadlines and film minute limit! :U)
Oooh Iris completion?!? I'm excited for that. C8 I volunteer to read! because despite all else I really am quite literate

/shot

you have soooo earned to chill out in China for a while. d(ouo I hope you can handle the summer weather there, xD

=Laitma May 15, 2012 General Artist

LOL yeah it's gonna be such a great--but hot and humid--summer, ohboy... xD; (My hometown city, WenZhou, literally translates to "humid city"... u______u;; )

But AUGH YES, YOU WHO KNOW OF MY ANIMATION PAINS, HAHAHAH. Ooooooohhh I really think that I'm starting to fall in love with animation though, now that I'm finally breaking out of my fears and trying to work more with dynamic camera angles and what have you... it's still got a LONG way to go from being anything done, now that I know how far I still stand from REAL animation, but, I'm still kinda-sorta proud of it? ;////;

And AHHHHHHHH OHMAN S-SERIOUSLY;;; D-Do you really want to read my crazy-long super-verbose rambling confusing mess of a novel?? ;A;

~Kero-sempai May 15, 2012 General Artist

amg whoa man, you're going to have to bring the ice packs and some cool-aid and stick all your sheets in the freezer before you make your bed, lolll

Dynamic camera angles are actually part of what keeps me from going crazy when animating or doing any sort of sequential storytelling art thing, really. XD you have EVERY RIGHT to be proud of it no matter how incomplete it is. The really good shorts that you see around that have like, full color and clean lines and everything else have teams of at least half a dozen people. Doing something at such a high level of quality just the way you want it takes a loooooong time all on your own. lD;;

yes I doooooo =u= It might take me a couple of page-turning days, but I cognitively read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in a weekend, so I think we're good on that count. xD "super-verbose rambling confusing" messes of novels are pretty much what I read these days.
