Gradually returning to drawing portraits (and maybe the reason is just above this caption), definitely out of practice, and (sigh) anyhoo, behold. ❤️‍🩹

🔎Scam Exam(ination)🔍 updated 5/15/26

Seen as: Verify your account / Your account has been locked Scam type(s): Phishing / Credit card stealer.

Hello everyone, this is a post going over the new scam floating around on tumblr where users are receiving DM's, asks, and/or are being @ spammed in comments on a blog post by accounts that look like this: (note: they use around 6-8 numbers but it does vary)

account-update-#### notification-#### system-update-##### system-updates-##### account-bot-reply account-updating-#######

The accounts that are pretending to be [tumblr] staff/staff 'bots', and will make a post with a AI (disgustang) image and post with a message similar to this one, where they will then @ spam users in the comments:

These accounts are not real staff accounts. Official [tumblr] Staff accounts will have a badge on their profile like this:

These fake accounts can also send users messages similar to the following via asks or DM's:

Your Tumblr account has been temporarily locked due to security measures. Verify your account within 24 hours to stop permanent suspension.

Suspicious activity has been detected on your account! Our team has begun an investigation. To continue using your account, you must complete user verification.

Visual examples of this can be seen here:

-----

Do note that [tumblr], nor its staff, will never, ever contact users via asks, comments, or direct messages with issues related to your account.

[tumblr] will only contact you on the account you used to register your account with, via their official email account that ends in tumblr.com.

[tumblr] will never ask you for money to 'verify' your account, to reactivate your account, to 'fix an issue', or anything similar to the sort.

[tumblr] will never threaten you that if you don't "pay them money" your information will be sent to the police, FBI, ect and you will be arrested for xyz reason.

[tumblr] staff does not use Discord, telegram, whatsapp, or any other social media account method to handle any kind of issue. Nor do they use any other website. If you need to contact them, use their support page!

If you are contacted by a user who tries to get you to contact a staff member via 'email', a website, on discord, whatsapp, telegram, or on any other thing at all that isn't tumblr, this is 100% a scam. Please report the DM, and block the user immediately.

You can also go a step further and report a post the hacked account has made as: something else > unlawful use > phishing, and explain that it is a hacked account trying to perform the <insert scam type> scam.

Providing screenshots is also always a good idea in these situations as well. :)

The website.

Now you may be asking: okay, what does this website take you to?

Is it a copy of tumblr to get you to sign in?

Nope! It's much more sad and.. honestly scarier than that.

It's a fake AI help bot plus a generic 'there was an error with your account. give us your credit card information now please :)' page.

If you notice- there's nothing that asks for anything related to your tumblr account. It's literally just "hey there was a issue with your account, click this button" then on the next page it tells users to "give us your credit card and personal information so we can steal your identity- I mean fix the issue."

(note: these images are outdated as of the current and new website they're using. The scam is still the same, however.)

Pause and think for a second: Did you give tumblr- the real tumblr- your credit card information when signing up?

The answer would surely be no. It's 100% free to sign up for tumblr, and costs users nothing to use the platform. The only time a user has to pay for something is when you buy something from TumblrMart, their official store.

Here are the dangers that come with giving them your information...

Final thoughts:

This is a very.. concerning and worrying phishing scam that can do a lot of damage if you're not careful.

This is honestly no different than those "you have a package from the UPS click here" or "you owe money from a toll both click here" scams you get in texts, and I would think people would know that- by looking at the URL alone, this is not owned nor operated by [tumblr] in any regard.

Please make sure to share this and help others become aware of scams, the more people who learn about scams, the less likely they are to fall for them. :)

Take care, stay safe, and keep helping others.

Any chance you're taking requests?

Hi, thanks for stopping by! :)

I’d like to take your ask as an opportunity to let people know (and remind someone who forgot or encourage someone who is shy ^_^ ) that I do take requests (art on SPN as well as other fandoms). As of these days, I’m a bit busy with a couple of art commissions from my Ko-fi and Instagram. But we can certainly discuss whatever, request or commission, through private messages, so feel free to write anytime. I’ll reply as soon as possible.

Have a beautiful day! :)

I'm not leaving you...

... come what may.

Always together. Winchester brothers.

✍️ On short and cloudy northern days, especially when there are only yellow "hygge" lamps...

...in the whole house (in Denmark they are everywhere), you have to take pictures only on the windowsill and only in the morning, when there is more or less enough natural light😊

This time this is not a copy of a specific screenshot. I had different references of faces that I wanted to combine into a composition. I was making this sketch for two mornings, half an hour for Sam and about fifteen minutes for Dean.

🙏😊💓 Thank you so much everyone who support me on Ko-fi! This means a lot to me. For those interested in gettng some fan art/portrait etc. from me, 5 commission slots are still open.

[verachana]

Never truly detached...

...always involved.

He is Dean Winchester.

Yet another morning exercise for skill and creativity. Powered by my latest crush, Winsor & Newton cartridge sketch pad A5.

🙏😊💓 Thank you so much everyone who support me on Ko-fi! You guys don’t only make my commission, you make my day, please remember that. This means an immense lot to me.

I feel happy someone likes my art, and this is a good stimulus to develop my skills even more✍️🎨💻🖼️💕

[verachana]

Hi people :)

Verachana published a post on Ko-fi.com

I love art making materials! They have always been my weapons of choice, and they’re never enough, and I run out of them pretty quickly. These are the best gifts if you want to make me happy, and they surely keep my work up and running. ^_^ Thanks a ton for your donations and support!

[verachana]

Brothers. On the road again.

✍️ Hi everyone, and thanks for the wait, asks, and wishes. I’m here again after my 2 month hiatus, slowly but steadily returning back to normal life. Art is working miracles, as always.

[verachana]

This far-searching glance, so frequently seen when Sam looks at his brother...

✍️ What I really like about the outcome is Dean recognizable even from this angle.

Your art looks amazing! Have a wonderful day! 🥰

It's heartwarming. I'm glad you like my drawings :) And thanks for taking the time to write this for me. Have a beautiful day too!

[verachana]

So this is how my album pages look like now😊 All portraits are quite small (I can make several of them on A4). Besides, making them in small size doesn't take much time, so I can quite easily find 20-30 minutes every morning (plus I wake up early) to polish my skills.

Whatever I can do now is the result of years of practice (I've been, to put it mildly, not good at drawing, though I've been always loving it, and love helps for sure), and I'm still on the way, which I find delightful.🌅 Spn made me want to draw again, and Winchester brothers gently carried me out of quite a bad mental state, helping me find my inner balance.

Feeling grateful that creativity, albeit in this particular form (copying screencaps/photos), returned in my life.🙏💖 Gradually moving towards making my own original art, too, and you can already see some of it here on my blog.

A glance at Sam and Sarah with a fond, amused, satisfied, and somewhat proud-of-you-little-brother smirk, before getting in the Impala.

Spn 1x19, Provenance.

✍️  When drawing these features, was saying to myself, “Whoa, boy, you look so much like your father!” (a very lucky choice of actor for John W. even in this regard, who knows if it was intentional?).

✍️ Mom said on the phone, "Saw all these little faces you keep drawing. They are so good, you're like a real artist." Thank you so much mom! It's really important to me to hear this from you. 💓

[verachana]

Just couldn't miss this.)

When I draw, may morning exercises and all the world wait. I'm kind of scared of myself.))

“You spend so much time trying to convince people that you’re cool, but it’s just an act… You’re just a sad, lonely little kid…”

Amanda to Dean, memories. Spn 4x13, After School Special.

✍️ I sketched this from a screencap of s2, though, but I couldn’t help remembering those words. Thinking positively, beneath everything superficial there’s really an immense depth in Dean’s soul. And his evolution is amazing to watch.
