    how does scammers get so many commissions and yet real artists seem to always struggle even finding people??

      Isn't it crazy how that works? The scam accounts are the ones being promoted and shown to people while real artist are shoved to the corner.

      because scammers are able to go with the algorithm, it's easy to be consistent and post stuff if all you're doing is taking a bunch of art from google. Real artists have to actually draw their work and edit it in a pleasing way which will take time so they don't post as often.

      because scammers are able to promise more than what they can give while REAL artist promise what is possible if that makes sense.

    Whenever I get the awkward 'Are you looking to commission someone, I have spots open!' I reply with the casual 'I am not 40k in debt to an art school I couldn't even graduate from, with years of experience making my style, for an AI bro bot to try and scam me' and block immediately after lmfao

    I think sometimes it's hard to find the original artists that these people stole from because they chose small accounts. I have less than 200 followers on Twitter and one of these type of accounts stole my art of a reference sheet to pass as their art. It was pure chance that someone saw it and informed me.
    There's also the chance that they steal from artists that have changed their name or watermark so it makes them harder to find 😥

    That's an actual character from a videogame, called Firefly from the game Honkai: Star Rail. I don't believe it's AI, but I'm 101% sure this is traced since it looks a lot like her 3D model in-game.

    As someone who is new to streaming and trying to grow on Twitter/X, Bluesky, Twitch and Kick... I get soooo so many art scammers, bots and AI image people contact me on all platforms about asking me tocommission them, even though I stress to then I do NOT have money and don't have a job. They'll even go as far as "I can do payment plans! How about next month?!" and I'm just....I HAVE NO MONEY?! Starting out when you are broke, trying to get things started and being happy when someone notice you, only for it to be scammers..it freakin hurt.

      And I mean I don't mind commissioning people when I do have money on hand, but damn! As an artist myself, yeah sure I can just do everything myself, it would just take time and effort, but I always love seeing other artist interpretation or my own sona and will sometimes save up to commission someone.. but when I keep getting hounded by OBVIOUS scammers, it kinda just makes me not want to branch out into these different platforms. It's sad to only be noticed by people who want to do hard to you and also the artist that they steal from.

    Someone once approached me for a commission and I told them no bc I want to save money. They kept asking and even lowered the price to ten dollars. I looked at their account and they had pretty good art, only 4 art pieces though. I kept saying no to the commission but they kept asking even telling me that they need it for hospital bills I eventually told them wait until a certain day and then I deleted my Google account and so the twitter account was also deleted.

    Speaking of this, I often get them people trying to follow me / asking me to commission them.
    Although, it's mostly just normal commissions and not V-tubing.
    All of their bios are the same or are very similar, and they follow a ton of accounts with barely any following them.
    There was this one called Yurizuwi, but she's either given up after she got exposed or she's under a different name

    Agreed, there is a consistent style and quality throughout some of the pieces shown that makes me think a real artist IS involved (eg 1:50, 9:18, 10:45) albeit of a much lower skill level than advertised. Also, yes! Legitimate artists work speaks for itself, I have N E V E R seen or heard of a legitimate artist approaching someone in DMs to get commissions. Zero times. Do not even humour anyone that does. It'll be an AI, false advertising (like this one), pay then ghost, etc scam

Trying to pressure and guilt trip people into paying money and not respecting when the potential client says no. Etc etc.

      It’s freaking bad. Years ago when I was still in highschool, I knew a kid a couple of years younger than me at that age, who drew so good. Even if I had already drawn for a much longer time in this world than they did, it was still enough it impress me. So I can’t help but think that these very actions, are soon going to give a bad name towards actual younger artists.
      Cause now people will become paranoid and demand proof. And if the young artist does one little mistake, the might get bullied or harrassed for it.

    The Furry art and Anime art have Two different art style. If you make a furry arts, your art style will bleed into other subject such as if you are drawing Anime and vice versa.
    The fact that the Furry has such distinct Western influences and not Eastern ones, is a sure giveaway that the person is stealing art.

    17:08 In the bottom left it looks like they traced some material from the anime “86” and used a different background. I’ve definitely seen that picture a few times and I found the original when I searched the anime. A lot of what they have looks like traces of stuff from video games. That may be why you’re having trouble finding them with reverse image searches. Since they are tracing and not using exact pictures a lot of the time. I think they may be tracing characters then using pre-made backgrounds, hence why the character and background styles don’t seem to match up.

    they were in a artists discord server and randomly DMed my bsf (which they’ve never interacted before) and started small talk the exact same way of the op before trying to get them to commission for $85 showing the same artwork. They kept calling and pinning my friend if they didn’t respond instantly and I was told about them cuz they were getting uncomfortable about it, I got in contact with Amelia and confronted them about it and even showed them the google reverse search screenshots. They argued with me and claimed that one of them were their “friends work” and I called out about the “sketches” that were obliviously line art, they offered to show a video of their progress w/o charge to “clear the skepticism” my friend who does do art sent in their oc as reference to really know…yeah they js sent a traced “sketch” pic of the art work and kept denying that it was their style- they even joined my server just because I wasn’t responding to them (btw I run a kpop server so idk why they joined💀💀) and kept calling and pinning me and my bsf even if we told them to stop.

What happens is that onw guy who started this basically hiring a a artist for 30$ for example a 80$ work he gives the artists 30$ and pockets the other 50$ soon once he has made enough money through this process he hires other marketers who do the aame slowly it grows and with time they can hire (amateur) artists at like in my country 30,000 pkr which comes to around 110$ a month and yea so the art is there's just the marketing comes to ina soliciting way.

    Because of the amount of scammers it's hard for legit commission artists with a small following to find work. People only trust the well known artists at this point. I made sure to have a proper carrd, public comm tracker with timers, plenty of WIP posts and even links to past customers. But I'm still paranoid that people might avoid me because I can't break 500 followers.

    I had a streange experience with an artist who reached out my "dead" instagram account (there is nothing on it right now), in DMs. She looks like a furry artist who worked on many things like 3D and 2D animation, making art and such. She looks nice, but very pushy. Becouse she really, really wants to make you some artwork or something. But never say anything about that, she want money for it or not. So at first it seems like it's free. But she is very, very pushy about it to make something for you. And the 3D modells are sus... The artworks are mostly okay sometimes changed style... but still okay I guess. But after I told her I do not have money, and I can't return the fawor in art, she told me: "Ohh dw about the payment at all u can just do a minimum upfront amount rn and the rest later whenever you can pay". And I was like, bro I just told you already I do not have money on my bank account what was true in that time. :T And after I seen she doesen't understand I don't have money and I don't want to commission her, I sent my last message and blocked her. I tried to look up her is there any artist beware or something but there is nothing about it. And no other website or social media site, she only have an insta account.
    Is there anyone who had similar experience?
