"hi I would like to draw for you" or something to this extent. Keep in mind if you do this and your new please word your notes carefully as folks will think you as one of these scammer, it's been going on for months this.
Either its a shout or a dm from a somewhat new account or a bran new account with either nothing on the account or whatever they have is obviously not drawn from the same hand or if it is its not theirs to begin with. (edited signiture or directly stolen from another outlet/ dead account) also apy attention to the submission titles, if it seems sus, it is sus. Also these people's bios are nearly all the same. Same format that gives you a rundown of their art school life or something like that. It's a SCAM STOP AND LOOK AWAY!

Also if they dont have some sort of price breakdown and their not a credible artist who's got loads of subs on their page and have less than 1000 or 2000 page views thennnn maybe hard pass yeah?
Shouts aren't a way to get someone to do work with you, a DM isn't either. Post a journal breaking down your prices, and if you must contact someone do so without the ultra cringy title of.....
