Okay, I recently got asked if I do "Commissions". I'm gonna be honest with everyone by making it perfectly clear and just say that I Never or Will Never Do Commissions. I never once ever thought about making money on here nor will I ever even do so because I like to draw. Also, I'm not that skilled or talented like the artist who actually do make commissions for a living and that is something I never was interested in doing when I started on here.

Although I still have to make it perfectly clear to everyone. I am still no longer and I do mean NO LONGER doing/taking any more ART REQUESTS. I literally posted two journals talking about it but sadly it appears no one bothers reading it (although, I happy to know there are some who actually read them). So I'm just gonna let you know to save time for everyone by saying the short version to sum it up.

Reason I'm no longer doing "Art Request" is because I do not have enough in the day to work on any of them since I am now really busy in RL (real life) thus the only thing I could do is just now is checking up my notification and replying to messages .

Also, another reason is because lately not a lot of people bothered to read and follow the rules that I put in place for the "Art Request", thus asking for requests that I clearly wrote that I can't do in the journal or ask me to do multiple requests at once (like asking me to draw like five sets etc.) which is highly unfair to everyone else who had asked for Art Requests too (which why I put the 1 Art Request per person limit in the first place).

So it was then I decided to stop doing Art Requests since again I am too busy and no longer have enough in the day to work on any "Art Request" since I am now really busy in real life thus the only thing I could do is just now is checking up my notification and replying to messages. Heck, I barley even have enough time to do my own drawings and they sometimes take a while to finish.

So yeah I hope this makes it clear for everyone and I apologize to those who tried to ask me for request but I will No Longer Do or Take Any Art Requests. Plus, I will Never Ever Do Any Commissions since I was never interested in doing that kind of thing to begin with.

I apologize to everyone who planned on asking me if I take Commissions. I have no one to blame but myself since I didn't take into account on someone asking for Commissions despite never once saying or made mention of me ever doing so. So yeah, just gonna say it now so as to avoid any further misunderstandings but sorry, I will Never Ever Do Any Commissions or Take Any Art Requests.

Ok, I'm gonna try my best to explain this as best as I can. When I logged in to DA today, I ended up getting a pop up for a 2 steps verification thing. Now I do not know why that popped up but I do know that it's likely to do with me having a core (do not know if it'll pop up again when my core runs out or if anyone else with or without a core got the same pop up) and I'm kinda concern. I do not like going through extra steps to logging in an account (on any site really) or giving my phone number to any site (don't know if DA will try to force me or everyone on here to do the 2 steps verification) so chances are I might one day end up either not be able to log in my account anymore or end up losing it (meaning all the hard work I've done would have been for nothing). So in the case that happens, you can find me on Pixiv. I use the same name as my DA and icon to help people find me there (simply look for the guy who does lots of Poltergeist fan lol).

So yeah, just wanting to give a heads up to everyone in the event something happens to me whether not being able to log in anymore or losing my DA account, you can always find me on Pixiv.

Wow. I thought Bots and scammers where desperate before but this is ridiculous

I mean wow. How desperate and stupid you have to be to think any of this nonsense would work. First off, no one from a bank would use DA at all which is strike one. Second, the name has been used in another scam before so strike two. Three, why would a bank even send me a message via chat on here to begin with so strike three. Plus, there is a reddit post that showed the same named used in the scam also.

So yeah, just wanted to warn everyone about this scam since this is on of the few more annoying ones out there.

Thank you for you time reading this and may you all have a nice day

It's that time where I let out a warning to everyone and as the title says, Bots/Scammers being aggressive.

I mean, they still do the same annoying nonsense where they keep asking "can I use one of your pics for a mural art for a client". However, I noticed that unlike before, they are now being more and more annoying and sometimes aggressive. I gotten like ten in total Bots/Scam messages in my chat, all in the span of a few minutes of each other meaning that these Bots/Scammers are now being desperate and more aggressive to everyone on here (or at least for me in this case).

So yeah, wanted to give you all a heads up/warning about this incase anyone (mainly newer artists) find themselves in this kind of nonsense. Thank you for time reading this and may you all have a good day.

Yeah like the title said, beware of the comments, especially if you posted a comment . Reason for this warning is because I noticed alot of individuals beginning to harass everyone on here, especially against certain DA artist. As of late, I gotten some replies to comments that made on some pics on here which were all vulgar language, racial slurs and disgusting topics, with some of the them claiming to be an "alternate accounts" of a DA artist.

If you ever encounter something like this, then just block the individual in question. Like bots, they are nothing but annoyances and are likely trying to get a reaction out of you by doing this.

So yeah, if everyone wondering why no one leaves comments on pics anymore it is due to nonsense like this. We already have to deal with bots and spams in both Note and Chat, now we have to worry about comments too apparently.

Thank you for time in reading and may you all be safe.

So apparently both the chat function and the watch notification don't seem to be working at the moment. I tried to fave some pics in the watch notification but it doesn't seem to work nor does clicking on the box on them.

So if you're wondering wondering why its not working it means that DA is likely doing something again or are removing the groups from what I've heard.
