And pixelart takes over

Lots of pixelart and pixelart related stuff happening as we get closer to the project I backed getting closer to being finished (I think it is still a way off yet). The project is PixelArt Academy. At the moment there are a couple of daily challenges to do as an intro to the way PixelArt Academy is going to work. In addition, they suggested joining the pixel dailies challenge on twitter to get things going on a regular basis. So I've been doing both of those right now. Even when life tries to take over, I've been trying to make sure I do the pixel dailies, even if they are small and goofy. There will be more to come on that front!

Hope y'all are well and making amazing art! xox

So encouraging to read. I would love to participate in the pixel daily challenges but probably won't start until after Pixel Art Academy launches. Don't feel confident/knowledgeable enough to be consistent yet.

I'll look forward to your submissions though

Yes! I know what you mean. :) (Smile)

Have you tried doing some without sharing? How are you getting on with the Academy mini challenges? It's been interesting to read about setting up.

Yes, i've done some pixel art on the side. The good news: I have the confidence that I will be learning and progressing. The bad news is that life outside pixel art is amazing, fun, and demanding so finding the time to focus on pixel art will be a challenge. It's inevitable that I will focus on pixel art - it's just a matter of when

The mini challenges are straight forward and inspiring. I'm loving them!

Yup! I totally hear you about life being fun and amazing too.

It's always a difficult choice!

Another Year, another dollar..?So I got 40 days into the daily warm-ups using PhotoShop and each day I was increasingly aware of how much of my time they were taking up. I know the aim was an hour, but I found I was spending a lot more doing it. It was a fun experiment and I could see some improvement, but time is becoming more precious and not to mention I am already half way through another 365 project.
My projects for this year are:
365 icons based on various different themes
Visual diary (drawings to capture mood or events rather than writing)
PixelArt style world travel map
Start up #1GAM again
Complete 1 watercolour painting a month
Do 1 photomanipulation/photo bashing a month
Sounds like a lot... We shall see how it all turns out around March or so. Ha!
Peace, love and bullet-proof marshmallows my friends.

Daily Warm-upsI've never really had much of a warm-up routine, maybe some times I'll sketch out some figures or doodle on a piece of paper, but not much else. Recently I've been thinking more about doing something as a regular warm-up and that's when I came across AuraHack's youtube channel for daily warm-ups. She creates super cool images and shares time-lapses of creating the images. I like her style which is loose and totally the opposite of my own. I also like that the videos show how she works and builds an image through layers. So I thought I would take this inspiration and use it in making my own daily warm-ups. I've been doing this for 16 days so far and I can see that I have such a long way to go, but I can see some progression already. I'll continue to share these warm-up pieces (the good and the bad (mostly bad)) on DA, but also on a tumblr account. I've already been playing with creating some of my own brushes to work with (never

Protecting yourself from Paypal chargebacksI decided I'd write something on this since it seems to be affecting a lot of my friends and artists I'm close to. I'll start with a few disclaimers.
Disclaimer 1:
I am not a finance expert. I have never filed a chargeback nor have I been in a chargeback dispute (fortunately). I have done some research out of both curiosity and out of desire to help out the community a bit. This is going to be quick(ish) and summarized. I'm also going to be changing some things to the way I sell as well (obviously).
Disclaimer 2:
This journal isn't about what to do in a chargeback dispute but rather, how to set up your sales so that you'll have the upper hand when having to deal with a dispute. I've included some useful links at the bottom for further information!
Regular Payments / ABs
Some believe that Paypal does not help in disputes over digital goods but a policy

Close To You - Lyrics - Sans VersionTHE FLOWERS OF THE NEW AND LAUGHTER OF THE PAST,
THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU, BEAUTY UNSURPASSED!
GONE WITH A WHISPER, YOU FALL ASLEEP LIKE DEATH,
BREAKING THROUGH THE EARTH, YOUR SMILE SHINES AGAIN!
MY EMPTY GRATITUDE, ANOTHER EMPTY THANK YOU,
I FINALLY LEARNED REGRET, FROM WORDS I'VE ALWAYS SAID.
NEVER MEANT TO SPEAK TO HURT, YET IT HURT TO PUT IN WORDS,
GOODBYE WHEREVER YOU ARE, GOODBYE UNBROKEN HEART.
IN TRUTH I WANT TO FEEL, THE TRUTH I WANT TO SEE,
I'M TRYING TO EMBRACE YOUR DRIFTING HEART AND SMILE!
WHENEVER I BEGIN TO FEEL THE BURNING TEARS OVERFLOWING FROM MY EYES,
I KEEP ON LOOKING FORWARD AT YOU, HOPING THAT YOUR LIGHT WILL NEVER PASS ME BY!
I WONDER WHAT THE STARS THAT SPARKLE IN YOUR EYES ARE HIDING FROM MY MIND,
HIDING FROM MY OPEN HEART AND FROM YOUR OPEN HEART!
TOGETHER, YOU AND I WILL ALWAYS BE ALIVE, CONNECTED, CLOSE TO YOU I'LL STAY!
AS LONG AS I CAN HOLD YOUR HAND AGAIN AND AGAIN, FOREVER, I WILL FIND MY WAY!
YOU MAY NEVER ANSWER BACK MY CALL BUT YOU SMILE AT ME WITH

How to join:
I need a logo for my series.
Basically a design that I can use to show "this is my series"
(Example:

]
I really want to have the logo have LK.
You can have it be simple, complex, a gif, idfc

Overall)):
-make a logo featuring LK
-size doesn't matter
-use anything: gif, png, mp4, idfc
-MAKE a journal promoting this
-Comment that you have created a logo (or are going to) and share this,
you will not be entered if you haven't shared this journal.
-Add the words "ABSCOND" somewhere
How to make it:
-gif, png, mp4, i don't care. Just as long as it's cool
-you can either use LK's colors or use a solid color (like white). Or not i really don't care
-be creative. I will be looking at how much you actually worked on this, and it's not something you threw together

TLECs 2nd Annual Training Show RESULTS UPSo, this is a wee bit late, please ignore the huge time gap. XD
TLEC has decided to once again, open its gates to the public for another large training show. This time, it was to be run a little differently. Last time was stressful, and thats not the point of a training show. With that being said, they set up the new list of classes and decided on a different judging style. This time, there would be playful classes as well, to make it more family oriented.

Rules
- No fighting or harassment, we are an equal opportunity stable
- All breeds may enter, but no unnatural powers may be used to get an advantage
- Judging is simple, both effort and rng for performance (guide will be listed below)
- Linearts, Photomanips, Trades, and Commissions may enter (tracing is allowed, at the very least list you have used a ref)
- Old entries may be submitted, but will receive a penalty for not fitting the setting
- No extra

Hi everyone!I usually hate seeing journals like this, but given that I’ve spent 13 years on this site and met thousands of people, knowing there are at least a few of you who would probably want to hear if something was going on, I figure this is the only way to tell you.
For the past several years I’ve been dealing with health issues that I originally attributed to being overweight and/or having a sedentary lifestyle.
A few months ago, I was dealing with a chronic sinus infection and drainage from hell. To offset my symptoms and maybe get some sleep for once, I went to bed with a breathe-right strip on my nose. I woke up with no nose strip to be found and a weird feeling in my throat, like something was there. I went to the emergency room assuming I had swallowed the strip; they looked in my throat and said they didn’t see any plastic strip, but they did see that my throat (epiglottis, vocal cords etc) was terribly swollen, and because I work at an airport, tuberculosis had to b
