Something I’ve noticed when getting messages from these scammers are they always refer to their commissions as “Clients”. It sounds really unnatural when it comes to commissions imo

It really does come off as unnatural, I spoke some of my friends about this and they mentioned how they kept calling him “mate” as well.

I’ve seen them on Facebook too and they always force their “clients” to commission them, even if you’re flat out broke/not in the market for commissions.

Makes sense that there'd be scammers here like anywhere else, but I never thought it'd be like this. DId you check if the user was being discussed by anyone else, art community always feels like one that talks a lot so I'd imagine people would be calling them out. And really cool art in the outro again, especially love the 3D model of the kangaroo.

No, their art account was rather new so nobody was discussing them but, they had a pattern of leaving a comment on art and then tagging someone wanting to talk to them A lot of these art accounts are usually quickly reported and deleted before long, much like other scammers. Also! Thank you! I’ve been working on getting 3D models for everyone! Collector Tortoise is going to be next and then Gustaff-Z himself!

I noticed another way to spot them too or atleast on Facebook these scammers almost always have arts at the end of there name Amelia artzz or blaze artzz etc that and their portfolio or Facebook wall is barren

I have actually fell for it one time shamefully but normally what happens is that they use some type of like garbage ass image generation to do it and it usually f**** up the original image you gave them to work on in the sense that messes up all the colors

Sorry to hear you fell for one of these. Something told me that it was going to relate to some type of image generator tool if I did pay them for something like this.

… god damn it if I got a sob story, I’d probably fucking break and throw some money at them because I’m a sucker for that kind of stuff. But thanks for the heads up on the scammers!

And it’s almost always stolen art.
