Important Announcement

I have just been made aware that there is someone impostering as me to scam people out of large sums of money (and then using that to try and scam me lol). I have dealt with that scammer, but for future reference in case it were to ever happen, I will NEVER do the following:

• Ask through DMs for you to check my artwork

• Talk in a formal manner (ex: proper punctuation, lack of tone or lack of emoji usage)

• Ask for money / demand payment upfront (check my Cardd in bio for terms&conditions)

• Not show/share my commissions for you to see

• Use a different watermark

NEVER will I randomly come up to people and ask if they can look at my commissions. I am a “you come to me” sort of person and I plan to keep it that way. I always will ask to share my commissions via Cardd for viewers to look through the prices.

!!!PLEASE REPORT TO ME AND TUMBLR IF THIS HAPPENS!!!

Warning For Some Tumblr Artists Right Now:

Some shady accounts on Tumblr has been stealing art to promote suspicious links.

I don’t know is this is happing to other fandoms as well, but the account below seems to specifically be targeting Deltarune fanart and using related tags most likely to bait people into seeing their posts.

This is art theft. I haven’t clicked on the links, I may do more investigation but I encourage you all NOT to engage.

If you see this account, or any other similar accounts, REPORT AND BLOCK THEM IMMEDIATELY.

Hey so, I got a question. You know that ad that Tumbler keeps throwing at us for GlimmerFic? Yeah I clicked on it because it offered me something TF and I didn't realize what it was. Did you actually make the stuff that's on there or did someone use your sn? No hate either way, just asking because people have used my sn for stuff before too and I didn't know till the haters came knocking.

I guess someone stole my shit. Damn. Thanks for the heads up Anon!

Just so everyone is aware: the only places where my art is available OFFICIALLY for sale is Etsy and Redbubble. Everywhere else is stolen.

Yeah so, it turns out you actually can just steal people's art and trace it on Deviantart. All you have to do is file a counter-claim when you get DMCA'd then DA is like, "Lawyer up. Closing ticket, bye." And the original artist either has to just shrug it off or actually get a lawyer.

Fucking Deviantart lmao. This is the only site I know of that does that and it's an ART SITE.

And somehow DA mysteriously had issues with vigilante behavior. IDK. Seems pretty classist to tell people to Lawyer Up or just accept IP/Copyright violations. Typical of western society. Favor falls to the wealthy.

8 years later and an ex friend had returned to the internet and is tracing my art and posting it all over. Again.

What even is happening rn.
