We are getting word that myfreecopyright has wiped clean all records from before they were purchased by a buyer in Hong Kong. NO ONE should register ANYTHING with MYFREECOPYRIGHT.com Whittaker sold the site and now NO ONE from before the sale, can log in.
It might not have started as a scam, BUT it is a SCAM NOW.

Evening everybody! As you're probably well aware, art theft is a huge problem on the internet, let alone deviantART. But I have very recently learned about two websites that help you copyright and protect your property. And the best part? They're free! If you wan

10 Simple Tips for Getting Your Art Accepted QUICKIt's troublesome for all of us when we have to ask you questions and, require you to withdraw and resubmit your deviation for one reason or another. Well, this document is designed to help prevent that so we can all have a nicer day!
1. All Members:
- When you upload your art to dA, select the proper category. ex. When a member submits a drawing to our Digital Art folder, but we see that it's in dA's Traditional Art category, we will ALWAYS question that.
2. Digital and Traditional Artists:
- List the media/tools/programs and reference image links you used to create your art in your description. This is a practice of Pros, and it helps us to ascertain that your art is submitted to the proper folder.
3. Photographers:
- If your art is a photograph, and you did any editing besides tweaking, or BW/Sepia conversion then we will probably consider it a photo-manipulation. This includes selective de-coloration. Submit it to our Digital Art folder.

PE: The Impact of Color1. - WHAT IS COLOR?
Color is the aspect of things that is caused by differing qualities of light being reflected or emitted by them, as received by the human eye and processed by the human brain. It is a function of light and biology, not an exact science, no two people can see it exactly the same.
The human eye and brain together translate light into color. Light receptors within the eye transmit messages to the brain, which produces the familiar sensations of color. Newton observed that color is not inherent in objects. Rather, the surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others. We perceive only the reflected colors. Thus, red is not "in" an apple. The surface of the apple is reflecting the wavelengths we see as red and absorbing all the rest. An object appears white when it reflects all wavelengths and black when it absorbs them all.
"Colors are the deeds of light, its deeds and sufferings."
(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

30 Days of Character Development: Jessie BellSo.. never done this before, but it looked like a good challenge and brain work out! Jessie was my very first ever character, and I feel he deserves it. Also a way for me to get all of Jessie's information from over the years down in one place. I really hope you enjoy reading all this nonesense!
30 Days of Character Development:
1.) Describe your character's relationship with their mother or their father, or both. Was it good? Bad? Were they spoiled rotten, ignored? Do they still get along now, or no?
Jessie was raised exclusively by his mother, and partially by his older sister. He doesn't have a relationship with his father at all, because he never met the man and hasn't the slightest clue who he is or what he looks like. His father packed up and left when he was two, and what memories he has aren't very much of anything. Because of this, he is fairly close to his mother on her good days. His mother suffers from mental illness brought on by having to raise two children

Ten RelTionship WordsKaci showed me this on Tumblr so i copied and pasted it here for y'all.
Ten Relationship Words That Aren't Translatable Into English:
Mamihlapinatapei (Yagan, an indigenous language of Tierra del Fuego): The wordless yet meaningful look shared by two people who desire to initiate something, but are both reluctant to start.
Yuanfen (Chinese): A relationship by fate or destiny. This is a complex concept. It draws on principles of predetermination in Chinese culture, which dictate relationships, encounters and affinities, mostly among lovers and friends.
Cafuné (Brazilian Portuguese): The act of tenderly running your fingers through someone's hair.
Retrouvailles (French): The happiness of meeting again after a long time.
Ilunga (Bantu): A person who is willing to forgive abuse the first time; tolerate it the second time, but never a third time.
La Douleur Exquise (French): The heart-wrenching pain of wanting someone you can't have.
Koi No Yokan (Japanese): The sense upon first meeting a p

50 Shades of Abuse or Let's Talk BDSM!Ok, 50 Shades of Grey SUCKED. It actually SUCKED. For a number of reasons, but the main one I'm focusing on today is the portrayal of BDSM.
For those of you who don't know, BDSM stands for:

Bondage and Discipline.

Dominance and Submission.

Sadism and Masochism.
Remember, the main thing in Shades that is missing is the respect between Sub and Dom, and also there is no mention of the deep trust and loving relationship that goes hand in hand with BDSM.
Now this is becoming more and more popular, because of the piece of shit that isn't even useful as fertiliser book that is Shades, but most people don't know what it truly means. Plus, most of you are probably not taught this in your sex ed classes, and I'm getting seriously pissed off about the lack of proper preparation about this stuff. Kids need to know! How else are they supposed to be safe out there? BDSM gets pretty intense, you need to know what you're doing.
So I'm starting a quick,

Update: Those waitin' fer crew-acceptance and bounties, please be patient it will be up tomorrow straight after me lunch as I have a morning class. I also won't be replyin' t' most comments till tomorrow or tuesday, what with exams comin' and this bein' th' final week, I'm absolutely locked up with work.
Arr maties, I be exhausted from all me college work and I know I should be clearin' me messages but I'm buggered. So I'll be gettin' some rest t'night. Here's what I owe ye:
- T' Dark Zelda, yer Chibi has been selected t' be the first to be used fer me poem. I'll finish it t'morrow ^^
- T' those who sent in suggestions fer me Live Show. Unfortunately, I can't do th' pirate accent live, but I will record a final episode next Saturday before me exam hiatus ^^. Thank ye t' everyone who sent in suggestions, keep 'em coming. I'll be doin' even MORE live episodes right after me exams, so keep suggesting things ye want me t' talk about duri

Participation AppreciatedWell my last idea for a contest or challenge or whatever was a major flop and after working on a few collaborations I now see why...
Now I shall try again because this group is too quiet, seriously NOTHING happens and it bores me. For the next couple weeks here is a prompt for you all: Write a haiku about anything you want. It can be the normal 5-7-5 style or the less popular 5-7-9-7-5 (whichever you prefer). I don't have points for everyone but if you submit something for this (just link it in the journal after you submit it) I'll give you a llama since it's all I can do ^^
So yeah think about it and PLEASE submit something to show me you actually care

P.S. Submitting to 'featured' is pointless at the moment because it requires both admins to accept it and :iconfadingaqueous: doesn't seem to log on often. I don't feel like changing the options to allow myself to accept them because I don't like favoritism and unless it REALLY catches my attention I don't think anything deserves to

An ApologyAll right guys. It has recently come to my attention that I have been a bit of a... douche lately. Butting into people's stories, flirting nonstop with the crew, and quite honestly just being a complete jerk. After taking the suggestions of a few people, I would like to publicly say sorry about everything. To put it in a metaphor, I am like a faceless mook in Naruto. A faceless mook who is trying to be the title character. The entire situation just does not work.
So I just wanted to make it a point that I did not mean to offend ANYONE in any way whatsoever. I was being stupid, as I am known to do, and just wanted to voice this out to everyone. If I offended you personally, I would definitely like you to note me, or even post in the comments and tell me. I want to try and fix things as soon as possible and as cleanly as possible. Please hear me out, I could have gotten into character too often, or maybe I am simply like this. Either way I am trying to change that.
It has also been broug

Long ARSE journal - many many many memesFirst: Does anybody have a suggest as to who I can dress up as for Celebrity day of spirit week on Monday? I'm thinking Luna Lovegood just cause that would be easy enough to pull off but she's a character in a movie, not really a celebrity.
Ok, so I am almost finished with chapter three of All It Takes and I really hope you guys are enjoying it because chapter three is likely to piss you off. But I won't tell you why. You'll just have to figure that one out on your own. So, I hope you're all looking forward to it all the more now. lol Anyway, I'll let y'all know right now that my great aunt, the one with cancer, passed away. I doubt we'll be making it up to her funeral. It's just too expensive to drive all the way up there and, with school and all the animals, there's just no way.
But, moving away from the negative, here's a meme that I borrowed from Tumblr filled with ORIGINAL questions. So this should certainly be quite interesting:
