Artists are so disproportionately targeted when it comes to scams, credit, and respect. It’s so sad to see some of humanities finest get repeatedly discarded. I think expression is so valuable and that we should cherish everyone that puts in that sort of effort for a living :(
i actually had someone on tumblr ask me how much something would be without even looking at the form i sent and then asked "can i send you 200?" like...who's gonna overpay in THIS economy 💀
* DMs you and talks for a bit
* Oh yeah see I'm a poor college student can I draw you something???
* Charges high prices for art they stole from other people
* Ok, I'll take half up front since it's you
* Disappears with half the money
In my case it’s just random ppl asking for coms and they don’t even follow me, a week later and the account has been deleted so I’m gonna assume it’s a scam, most of the time they ask for payment to be delivered to you in a dubious way so they either get a free comm in the end or hack your PayPal
