to all artists accepting commissions: scammers are more and more frequently using commissions as a way to steal your information, and they’re getting more convincing. i just had someone offer to pay me very well to draw them a very detailed set of pieces, and they gave (1/4)

the total amount would be so high, they would only be able to pay via wire transfer and required extensive banking information. they refused to accommodate smaller payments via paypal, etransfer, or other services, so i knew it was a scam and stopped answering. (3/4)

obviously there are red flags like that to look out for, but please be careful out there,because this is becoming way more common and the scammers are learning to be scarily convincing. i’ve heard from tons of other artists who had similar experiences lately, so stay safe! (4/4)

after a lot of contemplation, i’ve decided to temporarily close my sketch, lineart, and flat colour commissions. now that there are tutorials being regularly circulated on how to commission an artist for a sketch/lineart only to have AI colour and render it, i’m not comfortable

these two pieces are two days apart - the first was before i sought out and implemented a critique, and the second was after. fr, i cant overstate the value of solicited critique, i learned so much from this exercise— and now i have to redraw it 15 times for a video 🫠

friendly reminder that i do not use my channel to cover personal disputes between artists, as it is never something i’ve felt comfortable involving myself in. emailing my work email (which isn’t monitored by me) angrily demanding i do so is 100% unacceptable & won’t be tolerated.

tassieulura on instagram was kind enough to commission me to draw them whatever i wanted, just because they wanted to support me through a hard time. i was honestly baffled by that kind of thoughtfulness, so i drew them this thank you - check them out on IG, they make great art!!

what do you guys think about social media’s impact on artists getting addicted to art? we’re pressured to make/finish as much art as possible to please algorithms & becoming dependent on positive engagement to feel good about our work- do you feel more addicted to it as a result?
