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

'Rapunzel' manipulated posters/artwork

by ~joshwmc, Jan 8, 2011, 6:04:02 PM
Journals / Personal

WARNING! Nerdish rant about to commence.

I cannot stand the movie title 'Tangled', it shits me more than any other title I've heard in my movie watching life. There's never been a film title that has gotten me more pissed off than this one, a stupid generic word that has absolutely no relevance to the film what so ever, and quite possibly one of the stupidest marketing decisions ever by Disney. I refuse to call it 'Tangled' and instead refer to it as it should be, 'Rapunzel' and I dare say a lot of others feel the same. So in my frustrations I took to manipulating the titles to the relative hi-res posters and soundtrack covers to read what it should say, for anyone who wishes to use the manipulated posters you can find the links here:

Teaser - [link]
Poster 1 - [link]
Poster 2 - [link]
Poster 3 - [link]
Soundtrack cover - [link]

The marketing for this is totally different from any other Disney fairytale - with The Princess and the Frog they did the really traditional poster art as they have since lord knows when, probably The Little Mermaid, ie sillhouetted figures, sumptuous backgrounds, but The Princess and the Frog probably didn't do as well as they wanted it to.
A lot of people think they're the ones copying Dreamworks now, instead of the other way around. If you watch a lot of the trailers, a lot of the scenes aren't even in the movie, and make it look more like a road movie than a really traditional Disney fairy-tale.
'nother thing. Look at their eyebrows on that teaser poster. Then look at the eyebrows on any posters for any one of the recent Dreamworks movies [link] Mhmm.

Leave it long enough and Dreamworks will very probably be leading in terms of style and format for family films.
One last thought! Having a title completely unrelated to what the actual thing is actually a really clever strategy in terms of advertising. It gets people talking, "Oh hey, have you seen the trailer for Tangled?" "Huh, what's Tangled?" and then the other person launches into a massive explanation. But you're right, little kids probably will be calling it 'Rapunzel'.

Sorry for taking so long to say so little!

Good job with the retitled posters, I think the title actually looks more balanced with the lower shape of the 'R' in 'Rapunzel' than the 'g' in 'Tangled'

~lebedevore Jan 9, 2011

I think that was mainly not to scare little boys with a "girly" fairytale... Marketing is not always right! Your posters make more sense.

~joshwmc Jan 9, 2011

Worst marketing logic ever. If the title was relevant to the plot of the story that's one thing, like if her hair kept getting her into trouble or was causing her to be clumsy then it would make sense and I probably wouldn't have an issue with it, but it doesn't. Guaranteed years from now people will only refer to it as Rapunzel.

~lebedevore Jan 9, 2011

It may even change for the DVD release... ^^

~Gwendolaine Jan 8, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Well I see how it is relevant because she's "tangled" in a difficult situation...
but it's still kinda random :/

~joshwmc Jan 8, 2011

I think that's really stretching it.

~Gwendolaine Jan 8, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I love you.
