No Joke it's very sweet seeing how many Artists and People in general really have the Christmas/Holiday Spirit this year :')

Last Two Days have been very busy: Started A DeviantArt and a Pixiv. My DA kinda blew up, it really reminded me of my Earilest Days on NG and Twitter in a Good Way!

Learned Twitter actually does filter NSFW away from minor accounts. Coulda saved me a ton of bellyaching if told

Also learned NG does the same alongside it's Content Filter.

Kinda fell in Love with DA's Whole Layout and was thoroughly impressed with it.

Seeing a huge mix of Positivity, Negativity, and Strife. While rough at times it's been nice being able to see this withoutMania/Depresso

That said a lot of what I saw did sting real hard for a bit.

Am slowly feeling comfortable commenting, tweeting, and reaching out in general again. Still gonna take it Glacially.

Will be making Art-Exclusive Accounts here still.

Happy New Years People

Well 5 more Hours to 2024. 2023 was a weird one for sure, it took the dichotomy of being Great and Terrible of the rest of the 2020's and cranked that up to 11. A Huge Reexamination of everything. Which in itself is Great and Terrible. I got Hope tho, and I wish you Hope too.

Not sure if it'll be this month, but I'm gonna start participating in the Monthly Votes and other events more often. I really Love that Shit; just stuff felt it wasn't my place at the time. Don't know how important that is but I figured I'd let ya'll know.

So. I recently learned about the common scam on instagram that involves a painter asking to use your Art as a Muse for a project they're working on for a client. Where you'll get Money and Credit for it. They ask for your Name, Bank Name, and Email if they're really being brazen. Preying on people who don't know any better. I have had 3 people come to me with this at first. They seemed so patient and understanding with me during negotiations. Had one today ask me all this. But with the essential ingredients that Identify this Scam, including the same price as the person who wrote the question leading me to these Answers.

The First of the accounts who contacted me is Deactivated, the Second (And Seemingly Most Likely To Be Legit) hasn't gotten back to me. And the third I haven't messaged yet but was the most suspect, leading me to find this is a scam that's been around since at least 4 months. Thank God I have no way to receive pay yet.

For that third solicitor in particular: Go Rot in Hell you Lying Sack of Scum.

For anyone new to DA or Instagram: Be Wary.
