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.

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

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?)

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

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.

Twenty Ten is upon us and a new year is beginning. So let's here some Conlang Resolutions!

What kind of plans do you have for your conlangs next year? Tell us about them!

As for me these are my goals:

Translate at least three passages in Hseishch
-At least 1 in both block and scrawl scripts

Reach 500 Hseishch words

Develop new Unnamed Conlang and translate 1 passage

Write out Lessons for Hseishch

Design Script for unnamed language

I think that's all for now.

What are your goals?

*TarawynWorldwalker Jan 4, 2011 Student General Artist

1. Work out complete grammars for Resskar, Hjakrahl, Sysaskirath, Ancient Vassra, Rahkshi and the Black Speech Reconstruction; get at least a rough idea of Matoran and Language of Dreaming.

2. Come up with enough vocabulary on the Black Speech Reconstruction to translate some common phrases in the Orcish Legends.

3. Work out a vocabulary sheet of "words needed" for all of my conlangs, and then fill it out. (I know there are sheets like this in existence, but they don't necessarily work for what I want to write)

4. Write out a couple of different versions of mythological tales in Hjakrahl, Resskar and Sysaskirath (EPIC POEM TIME), comparing how the language and the speakers shape the legends.

5. Figure out how Resskar deals with Resskar-shaping and "griffinizing" loanwords. (epessë = etaussë!) It's going to be aggressive. D:

6. Fix the recurrent problems with the griffin-script and Matoran scripts (crossbreeding is one of them).

7. DRACONIC. MAKE IT EXIST.

8. What with dialectic drift, calques, loanwords, jargon, cultural change and evolution in necessity, figure out how different the Resskar is in Tarawyn's time as opposed to Kethklak's. Then do the same with FEATURES NOT BUGS Draconic.

Also on the list- finish digitizing my Latin dictionary (held off until summer RRRRRRR), work on my Deutsch, give Finnish and Quenya more than a passing lick each, and figure out some resources for Old English.

And, for Kalaakya and Uumetkya- work out some freaking timelines (I couldn't tell you if there were 200 or 20,000 years between Kethklak's time and Tarawyn's), hammer out the tech levels progress over both worlds as well as how all the systems work, and write stories set in both worlds in both Kethklak's time and Tarawyn's.

What does the IV in Iza(IV)fal stand for?

Well, for conworlding I would suggest you look at the link I suggested for =SanguineEpitaph above.

~Curisosia Jan 4, 2011

It's a wing-motion. Which one, specifiably? Er... *goes to check* "Wings swept backwards, central two sailbones together."
Except, according to my notes, it should be Iza(/V)ásfal.
The ás is fixable--I've been planning to drop the plural specificator anyway, so it would be Iza(/V)fal.
I'm not sure what to do about the (IV), especially since I've gotten used to thinking of it this way. Maybe (IV) is sometimes substituted for (/V), for first-person, especially in the genitive?
( /V is the wings swept forward--no sailbones pressed together--and touch.
All of these can be imitated by humans/other non-winged creatures with something resembling hands with similar motions with the hands with 'fingers' substituted for 'sailbones'.
For more details see the Pronunciation Guide in my Scraps.)

*wanders off to see if this link is one she's seen before*

~JaiLatte Jan 5, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Oh! I think I remember reading about this somwehere before, yesm, on that deviation you mentioned. I remember reading it.
This is kind of a conculture question: but what do the dragons think about the humans or other mimicking their language? Was it originally the dragon language or did the dragons take it from someone?

~Curisosia Jan 7, 2011

*grins*
Oooh, ooh. That's a--wait, dragons? The dragons were the speakers of Tesade. Iza(/V)fal is (primarily) spoken by the winged humanoids (Isili). (Which is not to say the two aren't related. Long story.)
Anyway, the Isili...well, it depends on who you talk to. The majority of the homeworld Isili, and a good portion of those in colonies that did not have any native sapients, Do Not Like^TM the concept. Those on colonies which did have natives had to adapt a bit more. (Sometime I need to write about the colony were they found a more advanced race. That's probably another reason the free-thinkers tend to end up in the colonies--they do, at least, recognize what works on their homeworld doesn't always work on others. It may have taken meeting said more-advanced race, and the mission going horribly wrong (because of (most of?) them being arrogant and barely recognizing said more-advanced race as sapients, let alone more-advanced) and most of those on it getting killed get higher-ups to see that, but they do know that now. (Though I'm not certain the details of that mess were ever released to the public at large.) )
Anyway, Iza(/V)fal originally...well, I'm not entirely sure about 'originally'. It borrowed quite a bit from Tesade, but it has plenty of words of it's own, and a entirely different structure.
Sorry about rambling so much.

~Curisosia Dec 31, 2010

Not resolutions, precisely, but plans for the future:

* Tidy up Tesade grammar and work on vocabulary
* Work in more related words between Tesade and (ancient) Iza(IV)fal.
*Clean up and simplify Iza(IV)fal grammar
*Work out a system of sound---changes to take ancient Iza(IV)fal to the pre-colonization version
*Work out at least a basic idea of the languages of the native peoples of the colonies, and the resultant pidgins and creoles.
--- Do some serious research on (native) Central American languages for the Terran colony

At the moment I'm working on conworlding, for the Isili (The speakers of Iza(IV)fal) homeworld.
...As well as a good dozen different stories, some related. (Which is part of the reason why these are not resolutions--my resolutions at the moment are more things like "finish at least one WIP" I tend to write whatever I'm actively getting story for at the moment. The results are...varied.)

~JaiLatte Jan 3, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Look below this comment. XD

!ShinjuJB Dec 30, 2010

get far more words down in Sokoian than I already have.

Make a key for it, so normal people can actually get the gist of how to pronounce 'em.

Create a script for the Ancient Speak, and create one also for Modern Speak.

Perhaps create dialects for each of the islands that even speak Sokoian. X___X
Thats all I can really think of right now. Mai brain is kinda burnt out. X___X

~JaiLatte Dec 31, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Well, hopefully the conlang challenges will help increase your word count. I know its helped me.

Well, one thing you could do for Ancient and Modern is just make Ancient more blockish and Modern a scrallier version of the Ancient? Pull a Hierogly or Kanji maybe? XD
This is always a good reference for scripts:
