**WARNING!** Potential scammer/poacher alert!

General
Hey y'all!
I didn't think I'd be the victim of someone trying to "poach" my commissioners, but I guess its a testament to how recognizable my stuff is. That, or I just got unlucky
Someone tipped me off that someone named
pawphia has been watching a string of people who have commissioned me in the past. I don't really like drama, and normally, I'd let bygones be bygones, maybe even invite them to the server, but when as me and the Discord server inspected the account, there are some major red flags. Drastically changing artstyles, dropping a bunch of art and then leaving out of nowhere, and a really weird commission journal makes me feel like this is a person that uses AI generation for their "art". If they can prove themselves not to be AI or trying to poach my stuff, then I'll gladly apologize, but thats a big IF!
If you've commissioned from me in the past, keep an eye out for the account above, as they may try to contact you to scam you (this person told me they want **$1,250** for 10 pages of comics, which makes no sense if they're trying to poach me). Otherwise, either keep a close eye on them if they try to scam people, or just avoid them altogether.
Fuck AI artists, trying to scam people out of hundreds if not thousands for something that takes them 5 minutes to do without any skill.
Otherwise, I hope you're having a great day!

Very blurry in some areas, the face looks very weird, not to mention the hands. The final nail is the ears. They have a pomp on one side of the ref but not the other?
Even if they're not a scammer, best case scenario, they're still posting AI-generated imagery to FA. Which is a one way trip to report town
Thank you for calling them out
