For @loshappreciationweek Day 3: With Great Power Comes Great Perks

Ivy WIP

Oh yeah I know about Ao3 not being able to host images (you can however post them on your drafts on tumblr and still use them). I was considering it mainly for nsfw art, since tumblr is very inconsistent with which nsfw it allows.

Part of me feels like I probably should just bite the bullet and make a twitter but. ugh.

Where do people even post art nowadays, other than here? I tried Bluesky but it's empty and instagram is fucked unless you have a big following. Do people still post on twitter?

Hey, just wanted to give a quick PSA on a new type of bot/scam going around Tumblr. I've seen these types of comments on multiple artist's posts now. All of them are from generic / empty accounts with the usual bots behavior and they always ask artists to DM them in regards to commissions.

ASSUME MALICIOUS INTENT / REPORT / BLOCK / CARRY ON WITH YOUR DAY

A couple of examples below:

Really old Clark sketch inspired by that one episode of STAS where he's put on kryptonian wear that I choose to finish for @superfamilyweek Day 4: Krypton (which was technically yesterday but anyway)

Shein has been stealing ACOTAR fanart

It has come to my attention that Shein has been stealing art made by ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, Throne of Glass and possibly other fandoms and selling them as sticker bundles.

Some examples: Throne of Glass, ACOTAR, ACOTAR again, Fourth Wing

Those are not the only sticker bundles in each fandom. From what I've seen, they have also been selling bookmarks, pins and tote-bags as well. I suspect that their AI program is scrapping sites like redbubble or etsy.

Some of the artists I can recognize among others are: @/itsirene on ig, @/frostbite.studios on ig, @silketara, @cccrystalclear, @taratjah, @charliebowater and @luardraws

Please reblog this for exposure and if you are an artist, make sure you check if your art has been stolen as I've not been able to find everyone. Copyright infringement is a serious crime and something should be done about this.

Creator Highlight #13 - @lady-nestas / @vivictory-draws

Welcome back to Nessian Creator Highlights!! We want to take a moment to recognize the amazing individuals in our fandom who kindly use up so much of their free time and creative energy to share their work with us!

This week we're highlighting @lady-nestas / @vivictory-draws! With an individual with so much creativity, everything they make is always breathtaking!

Typically we see creators within our fandom showcasing strength usually in one area, but @lady-nestas / @vivictory-draws has the skills of being both an artist and a writer! We've seen these skill sets from a small collection of creators involved in the Nessian fandom, and wanted to take the opportunity to show recognition!

@lady-nestas / @vivictory-draws shows their love for Nessian whether its by words or digital art. Their fics make you so giddy for the next paragraph that when it ends, you only want more. Their art makes you look at it without realizing hours have passed.

You can find all of her commissioned works artwork and fanfictions via the links provided, or check out some of our favorites below:

Are you available for commission

So how does a commission scam work? You’ll get asks like this from blank blogs who didn’t see your commissions posts and instead are programmed to send these to anyone using certain tags. Afterwards, they’ll offer you $300 to draw a pet but won’t use your preferred payment option. Instead, they’ll ask for your email address. What happens next? You’ll get a phishing email claiming to be from PayPal saying you need to upgrade your account and when you click the link you’ll compromise your account details to the scammer who will then try to get your money. You will not be paid for your work at the scammer will then move on to someone else and block you.

If someone was really interested in commissioning you, they would already know the answer if they seen your post about it.

So what can you do? Block bots like this and warn other artists.
