On a planet far from Earth, a black out rolls through the old colony. Still the inhabitants go about their normal lives. Zeke is one such inhabitant and to him this was just a hiccup in an otherwise normal week. A week filled with strange dreams and a sensation that something...is coming.
Episode 1 of Exoskeleton is officially out! Check it out on webtoons! More to come in the coming weeks!
The first eight pages of my upcoming webcomic Exoskeleton is finally up on my Patreon! $5 and up patrons can see it now! But! You can wait patiently for the comic to go up on Webtoons and view it then! In either case, I would greatly appreciate any and all viewers!

Scammer Targeting Tumblr Artists
The title says it all really. So if nothing else, please share and reblog this post to raise awareness for those that might be caught out - both artists and followers. For a TL:DR, please look at the bottom of the post
What is happening?
Right now, there is at least one person actively impersonating multiple artists across tumblr in an effort to scam their followers into paying for fake ācheap commissionsā. The scammer will clone a tumblr, usually using a slight change to the url/account name to look like the real deal. They will then message people directly through Tumblr with messages along the lines of āHey, iām doing cheap commissions right now. DM me to get oneā. Naturally, this is ends up just being a way to take their money without giving anything back in return.
Who does this affect?
Everyone. Simple as that. As long as the scammer in question works unopposed, they are free to spread their influence and continue to scam more people. Even if you havenāt been targeted yet, it does not mean you are safe or immune. Several artists have already fallen victim to this scammer, and I encourage any artists that have to reblog this post with the details of their affected account(s) and the ones the scammer has set up.
How can we stop this?
Tumblr, like many other social media platforms, seems to care very little about āminorā occurences like this one, and despite reaching out directly to them over a week ago through multiple avenues of contact - they have refused to comment on the situation, provide a recommended response for users, or take action on behalf of those already affected. Despite this, there are still tools at our disposal that we can use to make this scam more difficult, and to increase its visibility to those within Tumblr staff that are required by policy to take action. Tumblr has the following to say on the topic of impersonation: Confusion or Impersonation. Donāt do things that would cause confusion between you or your blog and a person or company, like registering a deliberately confusing URL. Donāt impersonate anyone. While youāre free to ridicule, parody, or marvel at the alien beauty of Benedict Cumberbatch, you canāt pretend to actually be Benedict Cumberbatch. They then provide a link to this online form that you can fill out if you suspect someoneās identity is being confused. Unfortunately, this can only be filled out if you are the victim of impersonation. In other words, only the artists can fill this out legitimately. So, what about the followers and users of tumblr whom arenāt being impersonated? Our most valuable tool in this online platform is the platform itself. It enables us to spread our word near-virally across all the many sub-communities on Tumblr with remarkable efficiency for a user-driven system. We can take advantage of that effect to increase awareness of the situation. Even if you - the one reading this right now - arenāt an artist or donāt know an artist, the act of reblogging this post or sharing it directly with friends improves itās ārankingā in popularity increasing its chances to be seen by more people. We donāt need everyone on Tumblr to see the post for it to be effective, just like we donāt need the entirety of the human population of the world to be immune to a disease for that disease to be rendered ineffective or eradicated. If enough people are aware, the likelihood of pulling off a successful scam increases dramatically reducing efficiency to a point that it no longer becomes profitable to continue. Why should I care? It disheartens me to say this, but of the many artists I contacted directly over the past week to warn about this issue many of them refused to listen or dodged the responsibility with lines like;
āIām not being impersonated, so it doesnāt affect meā
āIām just one person. I canāt make an impactā
āI need to take care of my community. Other people can look after theirsā
This is honestly disappointing that so many artists or art-rebloggers care so little as to intentionally wave the responsibility of keeping their followers and fellow artists safe from this, that they cannot spare 10 seconds of their time to share an informative post. Iām not here to bash artists, but it is time that everyone takes responsibility for their own communities, and of those around them. Artists: You have a responsibility to ensure that your followers and fans arenāt being abused by someone who may impersonate you. If they succeed, your reputation will be damaged, and your followers will resent you. Your followers are also almost guaranteed to be following other artists meaning your efforts can spread beyond your own circle of influence, so donāt be naive when you think you have little effect. Followers: You have just as much responsibility to be aware of those that might try to scam you or your fellow followers. Donāt just sit in silence when you see something wrong: Ignoring the issue only makes it more resilient to our efforts to stop it. You are the vocal majority if you just use your voices to be heard!
TL:DR
A scammer is impersonating artists and scamming money from their followers under the guise of ācheap commissionsā. If we ignore the issue, it will get worse. Every single person that reads this can afford to spend just 10 seconds to reblog and share this post. Those 10 seconds can save others from being scammed for hundreds of dollars. Reblog & Share
Iām horrible at replying to IMs as is, so the probability of me actively reaching out to anyone and offer cheap commissions is zero to none. The only times this happens if if youāve already asked meĀ to contact you when I open up for more commissions.
So yea, if you get any IMs from someone claiming to be me, please drop me an email at [email protected] or message me on my discord server. If itās legit me talking to you Iāll confirm it there, and if it isnāt, youāll help me find out faster so I can warn people.
Boosting this message. People, be careful about who you share your information with online, please! Donāt share nudes, home addresses, personal account information or ANYTHING of that sort to ANYONE you donāt truely know and trustā let alone to random artist accounts. If you are approached by any account that looks like it could be me or any other well known artist in the communityā CHECK THEIR URL, IGNORE and/or REPORT the account for impersonation! More than anything, please donāt share your information with anyone you donāt know. Always remember to check the URL, cuz it could save you from a lot of headache.
*signal boost*
So far as I know, I have not been targeted or hit by this, but followers, know this:
I do not contact anyone to solicit or promote my commissions.Ā
If any of my followers receive or have received an IM or other private message claiming to be me, IT IS NOT ME.Ā If you have my Discord, ping me there. Otherwise, contact me directly to inform me of the occurrence so I may handle it.
Boost because there are way too many wonderful artists out there who donāt deserve to have their names used in a scam! D:
mischiefā¦.
Decided to practice making extreme expressions and play with some texture while I was at it. I think it turned out pretty okay.
Quick sketch I did a while back for a friend on Marvel Evolution, an rp site for an X-Men AU. This event was a rather gruesome scene in which this guy, Luca, was bitten by giant spiders and proceeded to scream in horror as his arm just rotted off. It was gross~
I completely forgot to post these up and get good photos of them, but these are the sculpey presents I made for my family last Christmas. I like how they came out and Iām thinking of maybe getting colored sculpey next time and just getting rid of the paint part all together.
