I rewatched avatar 2 last weekend and I'm still, predictably, in love with the evil alien dilf

SCAMMER ALERT - rubymexz

Type of scam: Art theft / Artist Impersonation

"Commission me I need money for rent"

This user is your typical "I steal other peoples art, pretend its mine, please commission me I need it for <urgent reason> before <day> please I'll pay you back in art." And then they ghost you.

How this story started:

Part 1. The DM.

Part 2. How/Why this is a scam.

After the DM, I knew almost instantly this was a scam. So with the help of @kyra45 we started looking through the "art" on the scammers blog and found them to be.. rather inconsistent in style.

Not only that, but the first red flag was a 3D render that was straight up stolen.

The original creator/owner:

Note: the date of the op was 9 months ago.

And for me, I reverse image searched this image:

Which lead me to this website, tumgik:

which is where I found the user cherrysphix!

So then I looked them up on tumblr and: WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT!

Here is cherrysphinx's art from 2024!

Annnnnd...

Here is the stolen art/archive from this scammer this month!

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM.....

And look! The 3D model's there too!!

Long story short: Yeah. It's a scammer.

Don't commission them. If you have, ask for a refund. You'll never get your art. If they DM you, report them immediately.

If you don't know how to reverse image search images:

Here's a how to guide: Reverse Image Search.

And remember:

If an artists art looks inconsistent in style, do your research first.

If they only started posting on tumblr within the last week/month, and they're DMing YOU to ask you to commission THEM? It's most likely a scam.

Trust your gut. Don't get scammed. <3

I'm absolutely obsessed with your Anita Fite design!!
